The fact that there is an intermediary does not mean that there isn't a criminal conspiracy that they are a part of.

Put simply, if we do not stop the flow of American-made guns across the southern border to Mexico, we cannot stop the flow of fentanyl into our country over that same border.

I thank my colleague, Mr. Johnson, for organizing this incredibly important Special Order hour to highlight the absolutely unprecedented and devastating attacks on our democracy and on the rule of law. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to sound…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to this bill, which is simply an attempt by House Republicans to intimidate judges who issue rulings that they simply don't like. My colleagues concede that…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse) for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my disappointment that my commonsense amendment to the DETERRENT Act was rejected yesterday in the Rules Committee by my colleagues…

I missed votes because of an important family matter. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 72 and YEA on Roll Call No. 73. personal explanation

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to the Republicans' partisan sham of a government funding bill which is nothing more than a blank canvas for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to continue…

I missed votes because of an important family matter. Had I been present, I would have voted: YEA on Roll Call No. 63; YEA on Roll Call No. 64; and YEA on Roll Call No. 65. ____________________

This is, a 'stopgap' that is really just designed to give Elon Musk even more power to do his chainsaw routine on the federal government?

This is why that is so bad. First of all, it keeps funding levels where they are right now. And as we know, inflation has gone up, our needs have gone up.

Look, by the reports that we're getting and what I'm hearing, the Republicans are going to put a Continuing Resolution to go to the end of the fiscal year, September 30th, which would be the first time in a long, long time that there was…

Elon Musk is going to hurt a lot of people because he does not care about anything other than lining his own pockets.

Well, I find it very noteworthy not only that, the Cabinet Secretaries are clearly bristling at what Elon Musk is doing, but we've started to hear some comments from some Republican senators about needing Congressional approval for what…

This is preposterous. It is laughable. It is childish, and it is embarrassing for Donald Trump.

This is the exact opposite of peace through strength.

First of all, I don't know what Donald Trump expects President Zelenskyy to thank him for. He certainly should thank President Biden, which he has done over and over again.

It is anti-democratic. It is anti-American, and it's appalling and it is -- it has to stop.

It's called the 'rule of law'. Our constitution created three co-equal branches of government to provide checks and balances on each other.

These courageous whistleblowers must be allowed to submit affidavits to the Senate Judiciary Committee before his vote on Thursday.

I missed votes because of an important family matter. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 34, and NAY on Roll Call No. 35. personal explanation

This is completely lawless. This is a total takeover of the federal government.

What is the point of them being there if they're just bending the knee to Donald Trump?

There's no oversight of Elon Musk. He clearly spent his $250 million to get Donald Trump elected, and now has a puppet in the White House who has given him the authority to go into every federal agency.

the concern and the risk couldn't be any higher right now. And it's not because of any effort to streamline the government or make it more efficient.

@ElonMusk gave Trump $250m, so Trump handed him control of America's checkbook.
