The Chair of this Committee just said that he believes one of the biggest reasons for vaccine hesitancy is politics.

We are all very grateful to the House Armed Services Committee for the bipartisan product that they have put forward here, but as we said before, it is the inclusion of multiple poison pill amendments all put forward by extremists from the…

As the Chair acknowledged, we didn't start at 10. We started nearly an hour late or just over an hour late because he and his Republican colleagues had prioritized a meeting with Donald Trump over a Committee hearing and presumably they…

This year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first National EMS week and honor the first responders delivering urgent lifesaving care to people across our country. I rise to recognize a constituent who embodies the courageous and…

Over 60 million Americans live with a disability, including many of our seniors and veterans. When they travel, these passengers deserve a safe and dignified flying experience, but I have heard all too often from constituents living with…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Reschenthaler) for yielding the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, today's rule provides for the consideration of a partisan package of…

Today I rise in honor of Charles Blockson, a native of Norristown, Pennsylvania, who dedicated his life to the preservation of African-American history. A prolific writer, collector, historian, and activist, Mr. Blockson authored 13 books…

We just learned that Congress is being sent home early yet again this week because the Speaker doesn't have the votes to pass the bills he scheduled for this week. This keeps happening because Members of House leadership are unwilling to…

Last week law enforcement officials in Chester, Pennsylvania, announced that this community has seen a 72 percent decrease in shootings with victims since 2019. 2023 saw the fewest gun homicides in two decades and a 68 percent decrease in…
