Yes. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized on the question of order.

Republicans have threatened to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act for 7 years, but earlier this week, they failed again to deliver on this threat. So next week, the Senate will vote on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to table will be followed by 5-minute votes on: Ordering the previous question…

I understand the ruling of the Chair with respect to confining my remarks. These remarks, in fact, relate directly to whether or not this resolution, which seeks the production of the President's tax returns, relate to ``the rights of the…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 384. ____________________

The bully pulpit is a good thing to use.

According to Freedom House, freedom in the world has been in decline over the last decade.

The proposed cuts that President Trump has submitted to Congress are dangerous, short-sighted, and undermine the important role the United States plays in supporting peace and security in the region.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 1215, which should be more accurately called the taking away access to care and justice act. This bill will do nothing to strengthen patient protections and will make…
