Libya has been a difficult challenge for the United States and our allies since the fall of Muammar al-Qaddafi.

I want to start by saying how disappointed I am that it's taken 10 weeks and I still don't have a hearing.

I am also pleased to support H.R. 5274, the Global Electoral Exchange Act, introduced by my friend and colleague, Congressman Castro.

I am also pleased to support H.R. 5480, the Women's Entrepreneurship and Economic Empowerment Act.

I am pleased to support H.R. 5129, the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act, which will extend Feed the Future until 2021.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.J. Res. 2, which would force deep cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid under a so- called balanced budget amendment. Like the…

It would slash Social Security by $308 billion, Medicare by $239 billion, and Medicaid by $114 billion in 1 year alone. Mr. Speaker, if Republicans are truly concerned about reducing the deficit, they should start with repealing their tax…

On Monday, the Congressional Budget Office revealed that the Republican tax giveaway to corporations and the wealthiest Americans will increase our debt by $2.1 trillion. Over the next 10 years, our debt will equal 105 percent of our gross…

I am really concerned about the situation. I am attempting to get a briefing by the State Department...

We are sending mixed messages to the region, and I think that is unfortunate.

no country is a representative democracy if it isn't listening to all of its people...
