today I honor Miranda Dabney who has served Oklahoma's First District with unwavering dedication since my very first day in office. For nearly 7 years, Miranda's tireless work and invaluable contributions have been the cornerstone of our…

I thank the chairman for the opportunity to speak. One of America's most famous sons, Will Rogers, once said: ``It costs ten times more to govern us than it used to and we are not governed one-tenth as good.'' That was in 1932. I can only…

I’ve not heard anyone say they don’t want to cut anything. It’s just that they don’t like Elon.

But I still think the right thing to do is to get our government under control. We’re $37 trillion in debt and growing.

It’s what the president got elected on.

When you’re spending at twice the rate of what your revenue growth is, that’s a problem.

I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 43 Resolved, That at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025, the House shall proceed to the West Front…

I thank the chairman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, combating the CCP's malign influence across the globe demands strong partnerships and a steady backbone. Our partnership with Taiwan is critical to that goal. In 2023, I led a…

It is critical that we keep innovation here in the U.S., but it is also critical that we make sure healthcare is affordable.

it is sad that what we are dealing with is stifled innovation and a decrease in patient access due to the Inflation Reduction Act.

the so-called Inflation Reduction Act is only making it worse.

I will always advocate for those who are suffering from a rare disease and support efforts to bring treatments for these diseases to market.

One way to do this is by reducing the regulatory burden so that Title IV-B funding recipients can spend more time helping children and families, and less time waiting through the red tape.

I am not confident today, where we stand now, that a child growing up today in a similar or other uncertain circumstances would have the same opportunity or ability to achieve the American dream.

It is deeply troubling to see the lack of moral clarity in university leaders who refuse to condemn antisemitic demonstrations on campuses.

Every American should be outraged by what we are seeing across the country. These demonstrations are pro-terrorism and anti-American, and should be universally condemned.

For decades, prestigious colleges have slowly soiled their reputations by embracing Marxism, Confucius institutes, and moral relativism at the expense of merit, virtue, and truth.

This isn't just about expression. It is a dangerous endorsement of violence on American soil.

It is just common sense, and I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this essential legislation.
