Tomorrow, the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs will have been the cruel law of the land for 1 year. In that short time, 14 States enacted near-total abortion bans, and others are trying to do the same. Wasn't that the goal? This is not…
I don't know why my colleagues are so intimidated here, but I think it reveals their weakness. They are intimidated by a bully, and this censure attempt reveals they are also intimidated by a patriot and the truth. Lucky us to serve with…
I am very proud of this Administration and the President for what he has done, how he has led.
Each year I am lucky to work with smart, dedicated students in my district through our student advisory panel. I am amazed and motivated by their passion, civic engagement, and thoughtfulness. They give me hope. Throughout this month, our…
We will do everything possible to get our arms around this incredible problem, retail theft, obviously, very serious, but violent crime and gun deaths in this country.
We are very, very sorry. You just have my commitment that we will do everything possible to get our arms around this incredible problem, retail theft, obviously, very serious, but violent crime and gun deaths in this country, when we lose…
I will have to show that commercial to my 11-year-old granddaughter to inspire her.
The more diverse people and experiences are around me, it just offers me such insights and such smarts.
Every year in this country, 43,000 people, 44,000 people--in one year, as high as 49,000 people-- die of gun violence. Every single day, we lose people in this country to gun violence. Mr. Speaker, 54 percent of that horrific number is gun…
In the past year, you might have noticed a difference while doing your taxes. If you called IRS with a question, you waited on the phone for maybe 5 minutes instead of 30 or more from years past. If you got your tax refund in a reasonable…
Let me just start by saying thank you to our leader for his moral clarity and leadership for all of us. As Memorial Day weekend approaches and we remember those who gave so much, the last full measure of devotion, Republicans are…
It is always an honor to lift local heroes while on the House floor and to celebrate the dedication and service of our educators. Today, I get to do both. Mr. Alex Frangoulis of the Goddard School in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, in my…
This past weekend, families across the country, including my own, celebrated Mother's Day. Many of us honor the extraordinary women in our lives with a call, brunch, or flowers. These are all lovely gestures. If you ask a mom what she…
We have to educate the public, our children, anyone who might be experimenting with drugs.
We are losing more than 108,000 people a year. That is 300 people every day, today, yesterday, tomorrow, 365 days a year.
It should not be partisan or political to pay our bills because raising the debt ceiling is simply honoring our word, our commitments. In fact, the Constitution demands that the validity of the public debt shall not be questioned. Congress…
I come to the floor exhausted and fearful--fearful for women who watch every month as their rights are stripped away, fearful for my daughters-in-law, my granddaughters and yours as we deal with the fallout of the Supreme Court's Dobbs…
Here we are again, talking about another school shooting. When will enough be enough in this country? How is it that we allow our schoolchildren to go to school each day with the uncertainty of their own safety? How do we allow parents to…
Spring has sprung, and opening day is on the horizon. Spring is meant for new beginnings. What a run our Phillies had last season. This year, Phillies fans come to this season with, as the great Harry Kalas sings to us after every home…
