I rise in strong opposition to this resolution of inquiry. ... we cannot do anything to undermine the very strong message that we stand committed to remain with the Ukrainian people until they win this fight.
This is an effort to undermine America's support for Ukraine, to begin a process to make sure the words of the very author that not one more penny go to the people of Ukraine in this fight.
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 3372, the One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act. Every year, more than 600,000 people in the United States are released from State and…
This bill is proof of the extraordinary leadership of Chairman Nadler and the Judiciary Committee. He has led our committee in a principled, determined way. I think as a result of his leadership, the Judiciary Committee has been the most…
I say again, this is about supporting competition with some very commonsense proposals that have strong bipartisan support in both Chambers. We can finally let Big Tech know that the time in which they can do whatever they want and…
I thank the chairman again for yielding. I just want to make clear, once again, that this bill does not appropriate money to the FTC, and I think the chairman of the Judiciary Committee and I will continue to advocate for more funding. But…
I thank the chairman for yielding. H.R. 3843 is a modest yet critical first step to modernizing the antitrust laws. It generates revenue; it makes foreign adversarial interests in transactions more apparent; and it allows more streamlined…
We don`t have to wonder whether or not Kevin McCarthy, if the Speaker of the House, will actually certify an election that Donald Trump ran and lost because we already know he did it.
I think it would be obviously very, very alarming for anyone who cares about our democracy and cares about the freedoms that we enjoy as citizens of this great country.
They are in a quest for power at all costs. They`re promoting the big lie. Still, they`re undermining democracy.
If you care about your vote being counted, and us remaining a democracy, you cannot vote for a Republican.
This is about whether or not we`re going to live in a democracy, or whether or not we`re going to give power to people who have lost the right to be in control of our economy, of our health care, of our democracy.
This is not a normal Republican Party anymore. This is a Republican Party of chaos, and corruption, and QAnon, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the big lie, and a party that is willing to excuse the former president no matter what he does.
This is a party of corruption, and chaos, and QAnon, and Marjorie, Taylor Greene, and insurrection and the big lie. They have forfeit the right to have control over the economy, over our health care, over our democracy.
I begin my book really in part to sound the alarm about the threat we face in this country, the threat to our democracy and the hopes of encouraging people to understand that must be our first priority in the Midterm elections is defending…
We have a fundamental choice. Are we going to protect American democracy? Are we going to give power to this group of people who are engaged in very anti-democratic behaviors?
I wrote a book because this is a dangerous moment and I feel like everyone has to do everything they can to sound the alarm, to raise your voice to make sure people understand the threat we face so that we can confront it, and defeat it…
This is about whether or not we’re going to live in a democracy, or whether or not we’re going to give power to people who have lost the right to be in control of our economy, of our health care, of our democracy.
Every time we stand up to a lie that they use to try to poison American politics, we`re defending democracy.
The outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs has not only resulted in job losses and lower wages at home, it is threatening America's standing as an economic superpower on the global stage. The CHIPS and Science Act is the bold action we…
easy access to military grade weapons increases the likelihood that individuals who are extremists and hold extremist views and seek to carry out acts of violence are able to do so on a more significant scale.
Terrorism in the form of mass shootings has become increasingly prevalent in the United States.
