The majority knows that abrupt shifts are bad. Yet, they are free to vote for a bill which they know would cause chaos. They also know that it won't be considered by the Senate. I can forgive a messaging bill; we all do that from time to time. What is so galling about the bill before us today is that it shows just how far outside the mainstream the Republican Party is. The American people want commonsense solutions that protect our economy, not a far-right agenda driven by the most extreme voices in their party. It is the same voices that brought us yesterday's anti- vaccine bill. Who knows what other secret promises the Speaker made to the extremists to secure the gavel? Let's get the bill over with because we all know that it is not going anywhere. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has again expired.
