The rushing of the sale is part and parcel of the administration’s utter disregard for Congress as a co-equal branch of government.

The mayor and everyone else has due process. For me, that’s essential.

I think she agreed that she cannot just wave a magic wand or say that the mayor is gone, is going to be removed.

I do think that Mayor Adams, you know, I believe him when he said he didn’t do anything wrong, but you can’t interfere with the justice system.

We continue engagement with the administration on a number of questions and concerns.

It is explicit in the agreement that our sovereignty is not threatened, so this is duplicative, and that is why I oppose it. Mr. Chairman, I have no further speakers. I yield back the balance of my time.

I oppose this amendment. The draft pandemic agreement advances global health security without impacting the United States' international sovereignty. The draft agreement explicitly states that it does not give the WHO any power to dictate…

I claim the time in opposition, even though I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I hope that we can do it this year.

I believe would further strengthen sanctions on Russia, both of which have been sent to your team and have garnered broad bipartisan support.

I greatly appreciate the work that you have done with the State Department, with the National Security Council, and with the whole Biden Administration in isolating Russia in the wake of its illegal, unjustified, and immoral invasion of…

Did Joe Biden have a bad night in my opinion? Yes, he absolutely did.

He said only an emergency declaration by President Biden would make it legal.

The migrant camp would not happen because housing on a national park is against the law.

Putting a tent city in Floyd Bennett Field was a terrible idea, perhaps even inhumane.

Let me just say this really quickly. One of the speakers before him said Democrats and terrorists are against Israel. That just shows how political this is. Democrats and Republicans have always been with Israel. To try and distort it and…

To correct the record, President Biden never said, as I hear my colleagues saying, that he is suspending all weapons to Israel. He said specifically the 2,000-pound bombs that cause death to innocent Palestinians are the only things that…

The consolidation of the banking industry is very concerning to me. Community and regional banks play an essential role in a district like mine.

I generally believe that bank mergers should be assessed on the merits, particularly the individual application put forth.

The Treasury opposes this amendment because they believe the reporting time is so short, and the requirements are so onerous. They believe it is so onerous that they will have to pull people away from doing the important work on finding…

I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter), the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and…

Once again, it is overdue for the EU to designate the IRGC as a terrorist entity. They are nothing but that. By shutting the IRGC out of both the American and European markets, we will be starving them of important resources of funding…

I sponsored and introduced a bipartisan bill called the Countering Economic Coercion Act of 2023 to support our partners that are victims of the PRC and economic coercion.

The Biden Administration's Indo-Pacific economic framework is critical for keeping America engaged economically.
