Ethiopia is a great nation dating back thousands of years. Ethiopia is ethnically and religiously diverse, and its diaspora has deeply enriched life in the United States.

H.Res. 445, offered by Karen, condemns all violence and human rights abuses in Ethiopia and seeks accountability and, hopefully, reconciliation.

I see no difference frankly between the Fulani and Boko Haram.

It would appear that this is an all-out attempt to eradicate, to kill.

Thank you very much, Chairwoman Karen Bass. Thank you for your leadership on this.

The parental involvement laws which would be overturned by this legislation deal with abortion, not with birth control. Just abortion. There is a bright line of demarcation between the two. I remember meeting with a woman from Virginia who…

I thank my good friend from Texas for his leadership. I do believe and see this--I know it is not represented on the floor of this House when it comes to our good friends and colleagues on the Democrat side, but there is a serious movement…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I thank him for his leadership. And I thank the gentlewoman from Washington (Mrs. Rodgers) for her extraordinary efforts on behalf of the unborn. It has been, frankly, a team effort, and what a team. Mr…

For the first time ever by Congressional statute, this legislation would legally enable the violent death of unborn baby girls and boys by dismemberment, decapitation, forced expulsion from the womb, and deadly poisons for any reason until…

In the spirit of transparency and accountability my amendment directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to probe whether the Department of Defense ever weaponized ticks with Lyme disease or any other dangerous pathogen. Two…

So at best, I would say they were misled.

This needs to be clarified for all Members who are listening. The Kemp-Kasten language--is and has been--the law and has been supported in a bipartisan way for years, because we are so unalterably opposed to coercive population control. It…

Peng Peiyun told me over and over again, there is no coercion in the Chinese program, even though everyone who has followed it knows that there is, because she said the UNFPA was there, on the ground whitewashing and falsifying the truth…

By executive order, President Biden reversed the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, which was a reiteration and expansion of President Ronald Reagan's Mexico City policy. Announced by Ronald Reagan at a U.N. conference on…

The ADDM network has been incredible in tracking children and young people to help us understand the prevalence. You can't combat something if there is no solid data. This ADDM network has been a tremendous asset. This amendment would…

I have three amendments that I am asking our colleagues to support. They are bipartisan amendments. The first is a redirection of $3 million to the Centers for Disease Control for Lyme disease. I would point out to my colleagues that I…

The bill under consideration removes several longstanding pro-life protections and advances provisions that would force U.S. taxpayers to pay for abortion-on- demand. It removes the Hyde Amendment which protects federal taxpayers from…

Sadly the rule under consideration precludes a vote on the Cole amendment to preserve the Hyde amendment and Weldon conscience protection law as well as other pro-life amendments, including one that I first successfully offered back in…

In retrospect, would you say that Coca-Cola is proud of its sponsorship of the 1936 Berlin Olympics?

And while I appreciate that several corporations have sent their representatives to testify at this hearing, I cannot but shake my head in dismay when I read the preening about compliance with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)…

For let's be very clear what we are talking about here, and why multiple hearings and concrete action on this topic are called for--first and foremost we not only see genocide and concentration camps directed against Uyghurs and Kazakhs in…

How many have you conducted in China since Beijing was selected as the host city in 2015?

Everyone who uses Airbnb must agree to our Community Commitment, a global standard that requires all members of our community to affirmatively agree 'to treat everyone in the Airbnb community--regardless of their race, religion, national…

But how about moving the venue . . . with the Chinese Communist Party committing genocide?
