I don't believe the American people will buy it, and he will be held accountable on November 3.

If the President is unwilling to do the right thing, because he's just unwilling to do the right thing, you would think he'd be willing to act in his own self-interest weeks before an election to try to turn things around.

It's just extraordinary in terms of the negligence and the malpractice of the White House.

The Republicans and Donald Trump are living in a fantasy land. They want to wish the virus away.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history, and this is all part of a continuing conspiracy to subvert our free and fair elections.

Well, that is why we continue to fight for a meaningful Congressional intervention. We pass the Heroes Act, as you noted, Ali, on May 15th. Almost three months ago, Republicans have done nothing.

It's absolutely correct. Republicans could care less at the end of the day about the national debt. And Exhibit A is the GOP tax scam that they passed in 2017 where 83 percent of the benefits went to the wealthiest one percent in America…

The executive order by Donald Trump is nothing more than a dog and pony show. Nobody is feeling it. The constitutional scholars are not feeling it because they know it's an unconstitutional power grab that will go nowhere once it is sued.

That is a lie. Reclaiming my time.

Donald Trump has become the poster boy for the anti-mask movement.

The answer is 150,000 Americans are dead. It has been a failure of epic proportions.

Over 150,000 Americans have died. More than 4 million Americans have been infected. More than 5 million Americans have lost their health care. Over 100,000 small businesses have permanently closed. More than 50 million Americans are out of…

During your time as attorney general, you have consistently undermined democracy, undermined the Constitution, undermined the health, safety, and wellbeing of the American people, all to personally benefit Donald Trump.

Let me simply close this portion of our special hour in honor of our friend, our colleague, our mentor, our hero, the legendary John Lewis, by simply recounting his words: Never give up. Never give in. Keep the faith. Keep your eyes on the…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Axne). The gentleman from New York has 14 minutes remaining.

America is a Nation of immigrants; some voluntary, others involuntary. John Lewis would often remind us, however, that while we may have come over on different ships, we are all in the same boat now. We are a gorgeous mosaic of people from…

I am prepared to close. I have no additional speakers. I reserve the balance of my time.

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman, the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, for her tremendous leadership on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and in moving this important piece of legislation forward. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1…

All we simply want is for every single community, regardless of race, to be able to breathe the free air of liberty and justice for all.

Black lives matter, yet month after month, year after year, decade after decade, the list of tragedy continues to grow.

The chokehold and other police tactics, such as a knee to the neck, are inherently dangerous and present an unreasonable risk of serious bodily injury or death.

I respect those police officers in every community who are there to protect and serve and those who have fallen in the line of duty, but we cannot tolerate police violence, and we cannot tolerate police brutality. George Floyd was murdered…

I thank the distinguished chair for her leadership. More than 80,000 Americans dead, 35 million unemployed, the economy in recession--there is pain; there is suffering; and there is death throughout the land. Congress must act to provide…

I thank the distinguished chair for his tremendous leadership. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this emergency spending legislation. More must be done, but it is a strong step in the right direction. The COVID-19 pandemic is…

America is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We also have assembled the mightiest military. But you cannot judge the greatness of America based on our wealth or our military might. We should only judge the greatness of…
