You know, the gentleman is from Florida, so he knows oranges. I am from New York, the Big Apple. I know apples. The gentleman's argument, clearly, he doesn't know apples from oranges. Let me just say this: I never challenged the…

There are certainly improvements we can make in terms of encouraging countries to better utilize the trade preferences offered under AGOA and to maximize their government strategies to take full advantage of those benefits. I look forward…

It seems at every turn, Donald Trump is trying to figure out how he avoids Congress.

Maybe the gentleman from the National Security Subcommittee can tell me, since the chairman can't, why the President of the United States pardoned a narcoterrorist and the former President of Honduras. Maybe he can tell me why. I am trying…

That is why I support this bill. That is one of the main reasons why I am here in the United States Congress. Strengthening our capital markets is not about helping the big guys. It is about improving the financial security of working…

There is no evidence that the people being killed are an imminent threat to the United States of America.

Congress has to stand up for what is our oversight and our responsibilities, and that’s the War Powers.

When we restore and make sure that Americans don’t lose their [Affordable Care Act] tax credits.

The House should have a say. Even last Congress, the Republican majority had votes on privileged resolutions under the emergency law. I can understand why some of my colleagues across the aisle might wish to avoid such a vote. They don't…

It is unacceptable that, a week after the strike, Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee have yet to be briefed by the administration on this use of force despite the Committee’s clear jurisdiction.

We welcome reforms where needed, but they must be done with a scalpel, not a chain saw.

Republicans who have complained about executive overreach and rules distortions for years, now is the chance to put their money where their mouth is. This is the time. The American people will hold them accountable if they don't. Do you…

This is one of the most momentous votes of this Congress. The President unilaterally imposed one of the largest tax increases in American history. People's retirement accounts are now in shambles. We all know these tariffs are a disaster…

I thank the ranking member for allowing me to speak. I thank the ranking member for all of his hard work because for sure what the President of the United States has done was lied to the American people and broke a promissory note. That…

Republicans can't keep ducking this — it's time they show whether they support the economic pain Trump is inflicting on their constituents.

I am deeply saddened today for the passing of Dr. Hazel Dukes. We called her Ma Dukes. Ma Dukes' lifelong commitment to equality, from breaking racial barriers in New York to leading the NAACP at the national and State levels, has left an…

The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump's policies are collapsing our economy. Unemployment is rising. The NASDAQ had its worst day since the COVID crash. Millions of dollars in retirement savings have been wiped out in just weeks. The…
