In many ways, it sounds to me like when you are looking at the independent contractor issue, it is about who are you going to stand with, the workers or the corporations.

I find that so often in this Subcommittee, in this room, we hear testimony that is so powerful.

While my colleague speaks loudly about stopping fentanyl at the border, I will remind him that this bill doesn't do anything about fentanyl at the border. Indeed, the Republicans in the Rules Committee last night rejected amendments which…

I thank Mr. Burgess for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, today while we stand here debating this rule, the Republicans' default on America's plan is holding Americans…

This GAO report highlights the failures of the last administration in addressing this crisis we are talking about today. The rule also makes in order two Congressional Review Act disapproval resolutions. H.J. Res. 45 would roll back the…

Yes, indeed, I agree that we need to make sure that we address fentanyl for every community whether it be New York or New Mexico, because the fentanyl crisis is a public health crisis, and families are losing loved ones every day. Indeed…

I agree that we need to address the fentanyl crisis, but what we are saying is we need to do more. The bill we are looking at today does not increase any funding for law enforcement. It does not address the need that we have to increase…

I think that we need to bring back to focus what we are doing here. This bill does something that we have no objection to, which is to permanently classify fentanyl as schedule I. What we keep hearing on the other side, though, is about…

I think what we heard on the House floor today was agreement, agreement on the need to address the scourge of fentanyl and what it is doing to our communities. I think we heard individuals talk about the individual pain they feel, whether…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 217, noes 204, not voting 14, as follows: [Roll No. 231] AYES--217…

I always look forward to it when we have the bipartisan support for, including tribes, recognizing them as sovereign nations.

Affordable housing is important everywhere I go in my district.

Yesterday, an 18-year-old carrying an assault-type weapon shattered the peace in a quiet residential neighborhood in Farmington, New Mexico. Three beautiful souls lost their lives. Many more were wounded and numerous others traumatized. I…

I do share everyone's concern about McCarthy's Default in America Act, and the devastating cuts it would mean to education funding.

It is heartbreaking and irresponsible that the majority of Republicans refuse to take action on an assault weapons ban.

Thank you so much, Madam Chair, and thank you for the testimony to all of our witnesses today.

Your testimony notes the need to reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program because it is effective.

Well, I look forward to the fact that we are going to hit September and you are going to know you have the money on October 1.

I have been at the border. I have seen the sadness and faint hope in the faces of the children seeking asylum. Imagine the desperation a mother must feel sending a child across a treacherous path to seek asylum in the United States. It…

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, we are very hopeful that in 2, 3 years we will have the buildout, but we do not have it now, and there is the need to get that telehealth funding now.

Thank you, Chair Westerman, for bringing us all together, in many senses, to honor the sequoias...

Last year, I chaired a hearing in the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples on Indigenous cultural and environmental preservation...

I left the Capitol at 3 a.m. this morning, after fighting Republicans' plans to default on America unless we impose drastic spending cuts, cuts that are so severe they will hurt farmers and ranchers, kids and families, and this beautiful…

They are going to really do a lot of harm, a lot of harm to your agency.

Congress passed my Hermits Peak Canyon Fire Act to provide nearly $4 billion to help New Mexicans recover.
