It's always the government trying to chill American's rights and chill America.

Chris Wray said this, 'we recall this information to avoid even the appearance of any kind of overreach.'

This is deeply troubling that if you are a Catholic that cares about your child's education and you shop at Gander Mountain that you are a prime suspect.

South Carolina was considered to be the most improved State in the country in dealing with human trafficking.

I also have one, the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act, which would allow victims of human trafficking to tell their story.

This is an incredibly important topic that spans--it is bipartisan, it is not a Black or White issue or a red or blue.

This was a leak of a decision that had not yet been decided, and you all made the--look, I am for protecting free speech.

It is to impact change. It is to impact policy. Is that correct?

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 420, nays 0, answered ``present'' 2, not voting 9, as…

I am struck just being in this Committee room today, quite frankly, that my colleagues on the other side seem to be suffering from a little bit of amnesia because it wasn't long ago as a freshman that I sat down there in my first hearing…

I am here today to join my colleagues in underscoring the critical role of the Water Resources Development Act of 2024 for not only my State, but my district, and convey these specific priorities.

Unfortunately, the city residents of Florence face water challenges daily. For example, their drinking water is often red.

The ability to provide safe, reliable drinking water and necessary water and sewer infrastructure upgrades is only attainable through expansion and upgrades to their water system.

They cannot grow any more without this expansion. They are at their limit.

Again, I think the basis of this is that we must get back to the basics. The Treasury Department has no basis for undertaking this initiative. Mr. Chair, I continue to urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I reserve the balance…
