I don't want to belabor what I have said repeatedly. What we saw last week and what we continue to see around the country as it relates to domestic terrorism deserves and demands our attention, and the seriousness with which the American…
I suggest to the gentlewoman that she support this bill, which provides training and resources to assist State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies in understanding, detecting, deterring, and investigating acts of domestic…
I think the bill which the gentleman references was just introduced. We haven't had a markup or discussion, but I do note he should read his own bill. It says ``up to $5,000,'' which can be anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000, so I think he…
I appreciate the gentleman yielding to me. I would say this: This is beyond absurd. Parents can speak out at school board meetings. Free speech in the United States is not only protected, we would be the first to protect it, on this side…
We have heard this argument time and time again. It is blatantly incorrect. Attorney General Garland's October 4 one-page memo they keep referencing says: ``In the coming days, the Department will announce a series of measures designed to…
I must say, and I have the highest regard for my colleague, anyone who would equate the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests organized over the murder of George Floyd with white supremacists like the one who killed 10 people in…
Sadly, the horrifying attack in Buffalo, New York, this weekend is just the tip of the iceberg. According to a 2021 report by the Anti-Defamation League, there have been 450 murders committed by political extremists over the last 10 years…
I will respond to my friend and colleague from the Rules Committee. When we talk about the need to have bipartisanship and to work together, I would again note that the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act passed by a voice vote in the…
Yesterday, the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 1124, providing for consideration of three measures: First, H.R. 350, the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, under a closed rule. The rule self-executes a manager's…
For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Reschenthaler) my distinguished friend from the Rules Committee, pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During…
My district is home to the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, LLE, at the University of Rochester.
Today I rise to recognize the extraordinary and impactful life of Gloria Langston, community advocate, and cofounder of Rochester's first Black-owned radio station, who sadly passed away last week. Founded in 1974, WDKX was one of the…
The Navy has significantly increased its budget for Project Overmatch, demonstrating a commitment to joint interoperability, command and control, and tactical network compatibility across DOD.
We want to double down on the submarine force and I think that's a very good astute observation
We're actually now seeing some progress in terms of shallowing or reducing that trough with the service life extensions
I will say this, that I suspect when, hopefully, this bill becomes law and we have helped save the 178,000 restaurants around this country that a number of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will be taking credit for it. I hope…
I want to just reiterate, this is really a simple issue. And there may be attempts to distract from what is a simple issue, but the Office of Inspector General indicated that we had $78 billion in fraudulent claims. That is an estimate…
I always appreciate hearing from my colleagues and a distinguished member of the Rules Committee, Mrs. Fischbach. I do note, however, a couple of things before I yield some time. The first is that as it relates to how the bill is funded…
This morning the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 1033, providing for consideration of H.R. 3807, the Relief for Restaurants and other Hard Hit Small Businesses Act of 2022 under a closed rule. The rule provides 1…
For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. Fischbach), my colleague and friend, pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution…
Commercial satellites are reshaping the collection of geospatial intelligence and have been effective in tracking the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine.
I do want to highlight an issue that I have engaged with your department over the last several months.
Each of us should be grateful for their continued work in keeping our communities healthy.
I was pleased to see in your budget $17.2 million to support the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
