I don't take it lightly to stand on the floor of the United States Congress and talk about this subject. Most people who do not have a Biblical undergirding would watch this and wonder why I would take the time to do this on the floor of…

on May 17 in a few days it will be declared a National Day of Jubilee, Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving. President Donald Trump announced this Day of Jubilee at the National Prayer Breakfast when he invited ``Americans from all across the…

I thank Congressman Roy for yielding. Tim Reitz has led our little merry band behind the scenes for 4 years, the Freedom Caucus. Most people do not realize that when you have the type of intellect that Tim has, the type of principle that…

Medicaid was created to provide health insurance for the poor, blind, disabled, pregnant, and elderly. Mr. Speaker, as you can see from this Paragon chart, Medicaid is no longer for the poor and now serves more people living above the…

If someone wants to buy junk food on their own dime, that's up to them. But what we're saying is, don't ask the taxpayer to pay for it and then also expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab for the resulting health consequences.

This bill undermines that verbal promise. Constitutionally sound agreements to the Federal Government must be adhered to. I think we should all agree to that. Nations fall apart when people walk back commitments to one another. The entire…

This will lead to a vast and irresponsible increase in Federal spending. I would like to respectfully refute the claim that this does not increase spending. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the CBO report from the 117th Congress…

Just because CBO this time around didn't score it, doesn't mean it doesn't have a cost. It just means they didn't score it. The score from it 2 years ago was three-quarters of a billion dollars.

If a Tribe cannot prove the necessary documentation to receive Federal recognition, they should not receive it by Congress' action. If the Lumbee have a historical record of being a formal Tribe, if they have evidence of lineage to any…

This amendment reduces funding for the National Endowment for the Arts back to 2019 levels. It is a modest cut at $49 million, an overall cut of less than 0.13 percent of the entire bill. This leaves $155 million for the program on which…

I will end by saying that this is a center that is utilizing taxpayer funds to push an agenda in a very partisan manner. It is very much in opposition to many of the things that many of us believe, and the power of the purse must speak…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 153, line 15, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $48,895,000)''. Page 226, line 4, after…

Just in closing, this is not a historical practice as it relates to Tribal peoples. This is a recent cultural fad that defies the face of hundreds of years of established norms. A dark cloud of confusion is gripping this country. It is…

This amendment prohibits the Department of Energy from issuing licenses to export nuclear materials to China, closing a loophole that currently allows for the export of some of those products. Last year, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission…

This amendment defunds the self-reported nonpartisan Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. I purposely am using the air quotes for ``nonpartisan'' given what I am about to relay. This think tank publishes articles and hosts…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 153, line 7, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $12,000,000)''. Page 226, line 4, after the…

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is antimerit. It is designed to exclude people from opportunities they might otherwise receive through merit, but it is replaced by, through DEI, melanin percentage or sexual preference. America promises…

This amendment reduces funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities back to 2019 levels. Just as with the previous amendment, this is a modest cut of $49 million that represents 0.13 percent of the entire bill, leaving $155…
