I believe that shutting down domestic violent extremists may prove far more difficult.

My advice is to avoid the terrorism as much as possible and base prosecutions on existing criminal offenses.

Many, including my fellow panel members here, are arguing for a domestic terrorism statute.

I have called for a National commission to review what happened on January 6, conduct impartial inquiries, and level hard criticism when warranted.

We can't play politics with National security.

I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join us and move this bill through Congress.

This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the very tragedy that necessitated the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and this committee.

But we must work together to find solutions--our democracy and American lives are at stake.

Any denial or attempt to distract from the threat at hand won't help us address the problem--that many have been and continue to sound the alarm about.

I commend this swift action. I also urge the administration to also prioritize the report on domestic terrorism required by the 'Domestic and International Terrorism DATA Act,' which is now 7 months past due.

I am hopeful that the Biden administration will work to do a better job of confronting this threat, which has been allowed to fester and even encouraged in recent years.

I rise as a proud American who has the distinct honor of serving this great body. As a Member of Congress, we take an oath to defend the Constitution because at times it needs defending. On January 6, the Nation watched as insurrectionists…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, there are seven legislative days remaining on the House calendar before this Chamber is scheduled to recess for more than a month. As every Member of this body knows, Americans are…

An excerpt from that says that this bipartisan bill is a strong reminder that through good faith negotiations, legislative solutions to important workplace questions and problems can be found. It is high time for our Nation to provide…

I am a Republican, and I rise in strong support of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. I was proud to join Chairman Nadler and Representatives Herrera Beutler, McBath, and Scott in introducing this bill. Simply put, no mother-to-be or…

Secure voting systems and the accurate reporting of votes are foundational to our democracy.

I want to echo your sentiment at the outset about John Lewis. He truly was a giant in American politics and American leadership, and I considered him a friend, and his legacy will live on long after his passing, that is for sure.

Ranking Member Katko is genuinely concerned with issues surrounding poverty and food insecurity.

To be successful, lawmakers must work to plan for and address the needs of the most vulnerable among us.

I want to say thank you to all the men and women who are on the front lines... trying to do the right thing.

I commend my colleague from New York for probing. But the bottom line is let's keep the balance here.

There are so many great American stories out there. I would like to just pause for a second and emphasize some of those great stories.

This has been a once-in-a-century pandemic that has hit this country. There have been mistakes made, there is no question.
