I am prepared to close. I would inquire if the gentleman has any more speakers.

Just to clarify, this provision about suspending the rule about personalities is so that we can have a full and frank discussion of just why the request is being made to invoke the 25th Amendment and just why this President should be…

I would just suggest that sedition is inherently divisive, and it is difficult to unify before there has been accountability. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Suozzi).

We, of course, share the concern of our colleagues from the other side of the aisle that an incident like this never happens again. That is why we are urging the Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment, because of the clear and present…

Today the Rules Committee met and reported a closed rule, House Resolution 38, providing for consideration of House Resolution 21, calling on Vice President Michael R. Pence to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 38 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 38 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order…

They were here to take the law into their own hands to disrupt Congress as it counted the Electoral College votes, and to overturn the lawful election of Joe Biden as the 46th president, as violent invaders broke windows and rammed doors.

I started this day disheartened that our colleagues were going to drag us through this cynical political charade of objecting to duly certified electoral college votes, but I was ready and eager to defend Pennsylvania's elections and the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. In the 2 years that I have been here, every motion to recommit has been a poison pill, a gimmick designed to tank a bill or sow division between Members of Congress and their constituents. Despite…

Over the last 10 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on our communities: from our frontline heroes working around the clock to families who have gone hungry, to the millions who have lost their jobs, and…

It has been 257 days since the first major COVID relief package was signed into law--257 days. In that time period, COVID cases in the U.S. have skyrocketed, and we have lost almost 290,000 Americans. The devastation this virus has wrought…

Like my colleague, the distinguished member of the Committee on Rules from Georgia, I, too, hope that the renewed interest in both Houses in passing COVID relief yields fruit sooner rather than later. It does require that the Senate make…

This week, December's rent and mortgage payments came due for millions of Americans, marking another gut- wrenching deadline for families who have been forced to make the impossible decision between putting food on the table or keeping a…

Today, I rise to recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance and honor the memories of far too many transgender or gender-nonconforming people, at least 36 of whom were lost this year to fatal violence, the majority of whom were Black and…

I thank the gentlewoman for arranging this Special Order hour. I stand before you today frustrated by the lack of Federal relief as COVID-19 surges across the country. With each day that we don't have relief for families, businesses, our…

When the news of Justice Ginsburg's passing broke, the first text I received was from my daughter, quickly followed by messages from female friends and family from every phase of my life. The immediate outpouring of tributes was a natural…

Of course, I look forward to joining my colleagues in passing another round of coronavirus relief, as we did unanimously or near unanimously the first four times, because we know our communities, our colleges, our schools, our State and…

Wow, that was hard to follow. Just to take a couple pieces there. There is no allegation here of mass hysterectomies. What there are allegations of, which have been strengthened over the intervening 2 weeks, are allegations that numerous…

The whistleblower complaint raises multiple serious questions which should concern every Member of this body and the administration. First, these women were apparently subjected to unnecessary and inappropriate medical care without their…

On Wednesday, the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 1164, providing for consideration of H. Res. 1153, condemning unwanted, unnecessary medical procedures on individuals without their full, informed consent, under a…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1164 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1164 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order…

Our elections are foundational to our democracy, the pulse of our Nation, and the most sacred form of protest that we as Americans have at our disposal. We, the people, have a right to vote without obstruction, without fear, without…

The report coming forward is shedding light on the crushing power of big tech, and it has really brought before the American people a desperately-needed conversation on what we need to do to reform our antitrust laws.

The department and DOJ, at large, during the Trump administration have, largely, failed to accomplish this task

It is sad and maybe even pathetic how far from that legacy the current division has fallen
