I think this is a military readiness issue.

Far from it. As the Supreme Court noted in 1967 in the Prima Paint decision, the legislative history of the law makes clear that Congress did not intend for parties with unequal bargaining power to be forced to arbitrate claims on a…

Your bill, the Justice for Service Members Act, would simply clarify that service Members cannot be required to arbitrate their employment claims under USERRA.

We are talking about making it voluntary. We are talking about making it post-dispute, so that they can decide.

To be silenced after simply having the guts to come forward, that is unjust, that is un-American.

Courage is contagious . . . and the cultural revolution we're experiencing right now . . . is long overdue.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of America and we play an essential role in creating good jobs.

This is not about foisting this on people who don't consent through take-it-or-leave-it contracts.

I want to take a moment to talk about what the Equality Act doesn't do. There has been a lot of misinformation about this bill floating around, and I want to ensure that my colleagues and the American people understand the facts. The…

Will the gentleman yield? Mr. McADAMS. I yield to the gentleman from Rhode Island.

Yes. H.R. 5 does not, nor could any legislation, supersede the First Amendment. H.R. 5 allows the standard set by prior civil rights law to not interfere with worship and religious practices by religious organizations.

Yes, that is correct. H.R. 5 adds protected classes to title II of the Civil Rights Act but does not revise the exception for private establishments not open to the public, meaning houses of worship can continue their practices as before…

Yes, I would be happy to engage my colleague from Utah. Mr. McADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I want to confirm and clarify in our debate today that H.R. 5 does not change our Nation's longstanding First Amendment right to free religious exercise…

Every day in kitchens and living rooms all across America, working men and women sit down and try to figure out how to pay for their prescription drugs. That is because 25 percent of the people in this country can't afford the medicine…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in strong opposition to H.R. 312, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation Reaffirmation Act. This bill will allow the Mashpee Tribe to open a massive off-reservation…

It's not a laughing matter. I expect that there are a number of other committees that are considering contempt citations. I think the sense is those will go to the floor together. But we fully intend to use all the power that we have to…

Again, I don't know about the legal proceedings. I know that the litigation was begun by the people in the local community.

2 years ago, our Republican friends voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act. They brought in cases of beer to celebrate. They piled into luxury buses that ferried them to the White House, where they had a second party with the President to…

I think we all recognize that the United States must have a clear-eyed approach to China that seeks cooperation where we can, but also ensure that we are able to compete where we must, and of course defend our interests where necessary.

the Trump administration has forfeited American leadership in an ongoing series of diplomatic and strategic blunders

The United States must recognize that Russia is now the main power broker in Syria.

Congress must step up on behalf of the American people and set forth a path in the Middle East.

None of the conditions he set out has actually been achieved.

I would disagree with him strongly about the conclusions that he has reached.

I do not think they can really project power, but it certainly helps their surveillance.
