As a matter of justice, it’s wrong. And it has a corrosive effect on the House floor.

There’s got to be people that come to the table and agree that it’s in the best interest of our nation to not do this, that it’s a race to the bottom.

The Bipartisan Transparency for American Taxpayers Act ensures federal funds cannot be used for this fund without the transparency, oversight, and legal safeguards the American people deserve. Taxpayer dollars will not become a…

I’ve heard from and talked to many people about this issue. They’ve made clear where they stand and I’m going to reflect their voice on the floor of the House and through legislation that we are introducing.

You know, everybody is entitled to speak their mind and offer their opinions. And I certainly respect everybody’s right to do that.

And if the American taxpayer dollar is being used in a way that the American taxpayer does not consent to and does not approve of ... it’s our job to make sure that we ask the questions, identify what the source is, so we can nip this…

And it’s our job in Congress to not just sit by. We’ve got to step forward and reclaim our authority under Article I, especially when it comes to appropriations.

That’s why we’re stopping it. That’s why we’re not going to let it happen. It’s absurd on its face.

I am proud to stand with AFSCME and the nearly 100,000 public safety workers they represent in calling for the reclassification of 911 dispatchers as protective service workers.

Then we're going to have to revisit it, and we're going to have to pass more bills on the floor.

But given the choice between a clean three-year extension and letting them expire, that's not a hard choice for me.

I don't like the clean extension without any income cap.

So that's going to be our best product we can put together.

This is beyond an 80–20 issue.

I think we gotta be doing everything to keep costs low across the board — health care, groceries, energy, all of the above. So I am currently working on addressing that as we speak.

I believe in, and will always fight for, policies that are thoughtful, compassionate, and good for our community.

Mr. President, Ukrainian soldiers and pilots are not just protecting their homeland ― they are holding the line for the entire democratic world.

I am worthy. No matter what you think about my Black skin, my dark skin, I'm worthy. I'm worthy for this community to be cleaned up and I am a person worthy of a good life.

If you look at Russia, right, obviously, it's huge geographically, but a population of about 150 million people, about half the size of the United States, one-fifth the size of Europe, a total GDP of $2 trillion. That's the GDP of the…

I want to say this too. I think Secretary Rubio is doing a great job. He's a smart man. He understands Putin.

I will do everything in my power to make sure that Ukraine wins this fight and that Russia loses, and that we have a peaceful settlement.

He is not a man of his word. He's not interested in peace.

If you look at every time the Ukraine support has been put on the House floor, overwhelming support.
