“Now you have seen so much of that rolled back that it’s heartbreaking.”

We try to impress on people that more deaths are caused by extreme heat than by flooding and tornadoes and hurricanes all together.

I just want to thank Mr. Mast and Mr. Joyce for their leadership on this issue. Our veterans sacrifice everything for our country. We don't leave them behind on the field, and we shouldn't leave them behind when they come home. One way…

I rise in support of H.R. 2853, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act legislation, which I am proud to co-lead and have been working on since 2021 with then-Representative Buck. Organized retail crime is one of the most pressing…

I rise today to voice opposition to this bill, the Tipped Employee Protection Act. Don't be fooled by the name of it. There is nothing proworker in this bill. It is like calling increased air pollution the blue sky initiative. This is just…

I, too, am rising today in support of this bill, H.R. 972, that I brought before you. It is the Sloan Canyon Conservation and Lateral Pipeline Act. As we barrel toward record low water projections at Lake Mead and the increasing risk of…

just check out this picture. This fabulous woman is A'ja Wilson, who was named Time's 2025 Athlete of the Year. A'ja became the first player in either the WNBA or the NBA to win a championship, claim the scoring title, and be named Finals…

I rise to urge passage of my FAIR BET Act. The Republican's Triple B overturned a half-century tax provision that allowed gamblers to deduct 100 percent of their losses from their winnings. Accordingly, because that has been eliminated…

It hurts the industry because people will go elsewhere.

It’s just really not good policy to have you paying taxes on phantom money that you didn’t earn.

This common-sense legislation will bring fairness back to gaming taxation, making sure that gamblers can fully deduct losses when they report their winnings.

I rise today to send a message to Senator Lee and his allies: We are not going to let you use our treasured public lands as revenue raisers to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. We made it clear here in the House that selling off our…

Mr. Speaker, the Republicans may think that they can hide what they are doing to the American people by voting on this one big, bad, beautiful, BS bill in the middle of the night. They need to think again. I represent Las Vegas. That is a…

Over the past few weeks, I have held a number of townhalls, and one thing keeps coming up consistently: Democrats need a cohesive, concise message that clearly lays out what we are for, not just what we are opposed to. In 1994, Newt…

I was absent from the floor and the roll call vote on passage of H.J. Res. 24, providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to ``Energy…

I was absent from the floor and the roll call vote on Ordering the Previous Question to provide consideration of the joint resolutions H.J. Res. 42, H.J. Res. 61, and S.J. Res. 11. Had I been present, I would have voted: NO on Roll Call…

I was absent from the floor today. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 506 on the Motion on Ordering the Previous Question on H. Res. 1616. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I was delayed by an elevator outside of the House…

Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 484 and YEA on Roll Call No. 486. ____________________

I was absent from the floor and the roll call vote on the Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 390--Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area Enhancement Act. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I acknowledge and thank my Republican colleague from Indiana (Mr. Baird) for joining me on this bipartisan legislation to establish the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts…

I thank Chairman McGovern, Congressman McGovern, for his leadership in this area and for setting up the Special Order on such an important topic. As a political science professor and a student of the history of nuclear weaponry, and now a…

I want to be clear: I am not advocating for FEMA to approve any particular building code, but rather for there to be greater consideration of all building codes that have a basis in research, expert scrutiny, and application to State and…

Even before FEMA's creation, building codes have played a role in disaster assistance and recovery.

The incentives and funding provided by the DRRA are critical since 35 States have not adopted modern building codes.

I just want to be real clear that when you all say that you don't think FEMA should impose a one-size-fits-all code and that you know what is best for Nevada, for North Carolina, you are not suggesting that you don't have any codes, are…
