Americans agree Government should use its power to protect health and well-being, grow the economy, and grow the prosperity of all Americans.

You had mentioned in your testimony that rather than empowering Congress, Loper Bright empowers courts at the expense of Congress.

I would triple the House appropriation--the congressional appropriation. I think we are woefully under-funded.

I think we have a real unique opportunity here post end of the Chevron doctrine to really reestablish Congress as the primary maker of both law and an overview of the regulation.

This decision is a tremendous gift to the wealthy and to special interests.

The power rests with the people, not an unelected court.

This decision is what we are here to discuss today.

Congress desperately needed an infusion of resources, capacity, and expertise. Now the need is more urgent.

Reversing Chevron and implementing Trump's Project 2025 are interconnected.

To my dear friend from Oklahoma, what I was suggesting was the Republican-controlled Committee on House Administration reviewed the allegations that 600 people who were not citizens had voted and ultimately made the determination that it…

To just note something that has been talked about for some time which is going back to an election that happened nearly 30 years ago in California. It talks about Representative Loretta Sanchez in her 1996 election in California. My…

I appreciate it and would appreciate updates.

Thank the gentleman for his great work over the last several months.

I appreciate your willingness to assist in what I think will be an amazing project.

It is said that all politics is local.

Your leadership over the past 8 years has been transformative.

I also want to hear more about modernization initiatives that are enhancing the Library's services and capabilities not just for Members and congressional staff but for all Americans.

I completely agree with those sentiments, and I am looking forward to hearing more about the ways in which the Library achieves that important goal.
