I thank Mr. McGovern, my colleague and friend, the distinguished chair of the Committee on Rules, for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule and the underlying legislation, the Protecting Our Kids Act and the Federal…

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…

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 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 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 find it incredibly insulting that anyone would suggest that I would smirk about the rape of a 10-year-old girl. I find it disgusting. I find the gentleman should offer an apology. This is a serious matter. That is why we are here. We…

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…

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…

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…
