The bills that will come before this House this weekend, especially tomorrow, make our choices clear: liberty or tyranny, democracy or dictatorship, allies or enemies, resolve or accommodation, strength or surrender, rule of law or rule of rogues, security or vulnerability. As Daniel Webster's inspirational missive carved into the marble above this rostrum challenges: Let us ask ourselves in our time and generation, may we not perform something worthy to be remembered? Yes, liberty first, last, and always. Through its historic fight against tyranny, Ukraine has reminded us how stark a choice the free world has. Ukraine aspires to ascend into the coalition of free nations sheltered by NATO's shield. Ukraine will grow to prosper in the European Union. Ukraine's warriors and people have inspired the world. Liberty demands this institution remain true to our Nation's founding principles. Republicans and Democrats, Speaker Johnson, and Leader Jeffries are all working together so the majority can work its will, not minority factions. Mr. Speaker, the middle has coalesced to meet Congress' first sworn duty to protect the Nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic. We will meet that obligation. ____________________
