In North Carolina, guns are now the leading cause of injury or death for children, surpassing car accidents.

Children in this country are more likely to die of gun violence than any other cause.

Let's get serious about how do we get these guns out of people's hands.

Our country has serious issues that demand serious solutions, not cynical political circuses like this hearing.

Philadelphians and all Americans deserve a Congress that does its job and passes legislative solutions, not a Congress that spends all its time mired in political sideshows and dysfunction.

We are serious about reducing gun violence.

What CeaseFire does--and I know this personally because I was a State representative--is work with doctors, with advocates, with elected officials at the State level, trying to change legislation to reduce gun violence.

Thank you, Chair, and I welcome all my colleagues to our great city of Philadelphia.

Today we have violence because it is easier than ever to access a firearm, and to access it illegally.

It also occurred to me that the gun pointed at my chest could have been a ghost gun.

Mere hours after this House finally passed critical security aid for our democratic allies, I found myself on a train in the countryside of war-torn Ukraine. Along with a bipartisan group of colleagues, we were the first four Members of…

Together we are witness to war in the Middle East, yet so many of us are divided in our righteous anger and desire for peace. At home, I speak with friends and family and constituents who want what is just. Nevertheless, I also see how we…

What is going on? What are we risking through this long stall?

If we fail to support Ukraine, we fail ourselves.

You do not pick and choose friends.

The United States and Ukraine are at a crossroads. In their fight against Putin, Ukraine is rationing weapons. After 2 years of war, Ukraine is losing ground, ground that they had reclaimed from their aggressor as the Russian army grows…

I think that our committee has the responsibility so that we can really be transparent with the American people.

I do not have time, but I would like--because I would like to do a complete investigation.

If we're going to study to find out the findings of what we should do, we should be talking about what happened during the Trump Administration as well as what took place during the Biden Administration because they are connected.

The Trump Administration's commitment to facilitate the release of Taliban prisoners... placed the Taliban in the strongest position since the United States first arrived in Afghanistan.

President Biden's efforts to end the 20-year war in Afghanistan and bring our troops home was the right one.

Your report on page 208 says that Mr. Biden couldn't come up with the date, the year of his son, Beau Biden's death. When in fact in the transcript, it shows that you asked him the month. And do you know what he said, Mr. Hur? He said, 'Oh…

It is inexplicable that Speaker Johnson continues to hold up this spending package, which has the majority of support among members.

The contrast between this president's support for democracies and our former president's support for autocracies could not be clearer.
