We are in the basic format of trying to do everything we can to defend one of the most lawless people in this Nation's history, Donald Trump.

This Committee has engaged in many off the wall, pointless, politically driven hearings in this Congress.
This is absurd. This is Fellini in the Congress. Comparing what Joe Biden did to what the other fellow that preceded him in office did in keeping documents in Mar-a-Lago in his bathroom and out in the fancy rooms where all of his…
I have not seen a more diligent and honorable Attorney General in the time I have served in Congress. Merrick Garland is a superb individual, and this is just projection, trying to throw things off from the other fellow, Trump, and put…
This world lost one of its most outstanding citizens yesterday. Reverend James M. Lawson passed away at age 95. Reverend Lawson was one of the architects of the civil rights movement in our country that brought rights to African Americans…
Has there ever been another time in American history when a President was involved in an insurrection trying to overthrow the Government of the United States of America other than January 6th?
Most of it has come from right-wing racist crowds, like the Ku Klux Klan, the Proud Boys, other groups that stand for nationalism.
Reclaiming my time. I thank the gentleman. I appreciate his support for that, I think it is very important. I think it is a more inclusive bill, a broader bill. It takes in not just the problems at the universities but also takes on…
I appreciate my chairman, and I also found the remarks that were directed at you to be reprehensible. I know you and I know your commitment to fair play and the First Amendment. However, I have questions about this bill, and that is why I…
President Trump said there are good people on both sides. Well, there are good people on both sides in Columbia, but there were not good people on both sides in Charlottesville. That anti-Semitism needs to be addressed and has not been…
Speaker Johnson said he was a wartime Speaker and was a child of the eighties influenced by Reagan who went to the Berlin Wall and said: ``Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.'' I am a child of the sixties and John Kennedy, and I heard him…
We need to be willing to take the difficult votes to pass revenue measures to serve our defense teams.
How much more money does the Coast Guard need than what they were appropriated?
I hope we get a vote when we come back next week to support the Ukrainians, who are valiantly fighting to maintain democracy.
I support this legislation. It is very close to my heart. I have worked on plastic pollution for many years. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Bonamici), the author of this bill.
I also support this legislation. Just about anything Jimmy Carter did, he did right. This imprimatur about Mr. Murphy's serving on the bench was obviously a good one. He spent those 45 years there. He was the son of a farmer and a…
I thank the gentleman. Madam Speaker, in closing, we support the bill. Information and data are essential for Congress to conduct proper oversight of the agencies under its jurisdiction, even those peripheral to its jurisdiction like the…
To be President you need to have values, you need to have an understanding of what values America has and needs to maintain to keep the world safe and peaceful.
First, I would have to say in the spirit of Elvis: ``Thank you, thank you very much.'' That is nice company to be put into, with Stax, Al Green, and barbecue. I thank Mr. Burchett for his work. In fact, this morning, Mr. Burchett's picture…
I thank Ms. Bonamici for bringing this legislation, and I also want to reflect on a group that I am familiar with called the Plastic Pollution Coalition that is headed up by Ms. Dianna Cohen and her sister, no relation to me. They have…
We must ensure that FEMA is complying with the law and providing Americans with disabilities equal access to Federal disaster assistance. This legislation will do that. I compliment Ms. Titus and Mr. Molinaro for bringing this bipartisan…
In closing, I would again indicate that I support this bill, and I urge everyone else to support it. I think so fondly upon John Conyers, who was my mentor when I came to Congress, and how much he would have appreciated this bill. Mr…
Do you think this could be expanded in some way to show the effects of the Capitals and the Wizards moving to Virginia and the effect that will have on properties in downtown D.C., and the opportunities to have good restaurants and good…
