We may disagree on many policies, but I think we all agree that the focus of emergency management is to be better off today than you were the last time that emergency took place.

Really the question is, we need to make sure that that May 15 request receives the same attention that it did for requests prior.

I appreciate the thoughts from our colleagues wanting to make sure that those men and women who wear the uniform have every opportunity and right to cast a ballot on election day.

Now what are the plans moving forward with that shortfall to still protect vulnerable coastal communities like Long Island?

On-going litigation is not a basis for refusing to provide a briefing to Congress.

I want to thank you for being here this morning. I mean what I said sincerely. You have a great group.

When you take the handcuffs from the police... and give criminals... more resources, things need to change.

I think it is clear from today's hearing that Secretary Mayorkas has been derelict in his duties to secure the homeland, but also derelict in his ability to protect CBP agents and DHS employees.

Seventeen CBP suicides in 1 year is absolutely intolerable.

I think we've handed complete operational control at the border to the cartels, and we have no idea what else is coming in.

I've always said that I support people coming into this country but coming through the front door.

I rise this evening to pay tribute to Michael R. Masone, an ex-chief of the Island Park Fire Department, the same department that I proudly served for the last 23 years. This weekend back home in Island Park, we are going to rededicate our…

Mr. Nadler, the correct pronunciation of my last name is D'Esposito. Thank you. The reason why this amendment is on the floor is because members of the party on the opposite side of the aisle have made it a popular decision to target law…

I have amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Insert after the eighth clause of the preamble the following (and redesignate provisions accordingly)…

As we are in the midst of National Police Week, on Thursday, riding bicycles with the Capitol Police and Speaker McCarthy, from the steps of the Capitol Building to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, I couldn't help but think…
