The blatantly political and misleading rhetoric which we have been subjected to today undermines the seriousness of this Committee's work.

The Attorney General is not the President's lawyer.

The American people are watching. They know what is going on here. This is a gross misuse of your time...

The author of that study has repeatedly expressed great distress at the way her study has been misrepresented.

What I said was that parents have the ultimate right to make the decisions concerning appropriate medical care for their children.

Gender-affirming care is safe and effective. It is supported by every major medical association.

Make no mistake; today's hearing is not about protecting children or parents' rights. It's a cynical and, frankly, dangerous political attack on transgender children and their families.

Holding a hearing to substitute far-right ideologies for parental judgment exposes the rank hypocrisy of the party claiming to value individual freedom and small government.

Let's be clear. Congress has no business interfering in parents' freedom to make decisions about appropriate medical care for their children.

It's critical to ensuring the fidelity of our country to the rule of law as well as improving functioning of the asylum system.

Have you or the Biden Administration ever tries to adopt an open border policy?

Instead of investigating and proposing real solutions to these immigration issues, our colleagues prefer to push and sometimes create apocalyptic scenarios to scare Americans.

Our colleagues across the aisle have made clear with their tone and questions today that their primary interest is in scapegoating you and the Biden Administration for the consequences of Congress failing for decades to address either the…

There have been more mass shootings this year than there have been days. We do not have to live like this. Children are scared to go to school, parents are scared to put their kids on the bus, and teachers are scared that they will have to…

As I was listening to some of the prior speakers, I started to understand why we have this defund the schools bill before us today. It is based upon a whole bunch of misunderstandings. The idea that migrants who are in the position where…

I find myself in complete agreement that we should be addressing the actual issues, like student achievement, that are impacting our students, but, obviously, this bill does none of that. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman…

I am so sorry my colleague across the aisle misunderstood me. The fake crisis I was referring to was the crisis that this defund our schools bill is seeking to address, which is the use of active public school buildings to house migrants…

I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, with the two bills under consideration in today's rule, we have a striking example of the best and…

Last week, we celebrated our Nation's birthday, a day that conjures up images of flags and fireworks, family barbecues and patriotic parades. But in my district, the dominant image on July 4 was a mint green child's bicycle. That little…

I want to focus my questions on hospital consolidation and the growing problem of private equity firms buying up hospitals and healthcare groups.

Every day some of our colleagues seem to be trying to prove the legal maxim that if you don't have the law on your side, argue the facts. If you don't have the facts either, just argue.

Thank you, Chair Khan, I want to start by thanking you and the FTC for your work to protect American businesses and workers and consumers on issues ranging from privacy concerns to deceptive business practices, to unwanted telemarketing…

We should be asking about, are we doing that to the best of our ability.

I thank you for your service. I thank the men and women for their service.

We are here as an oversight function. We are not here as a political tool to hammer you.
