I thank the gentleman for yielding. President Biden's $7.3 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2025 is full of costly woke policies that will end up hurting the Americans who elected us to office. Here are some of the things he wants…
I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4693, the Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act. The Tennessee Valley Authority controls a vital part of east Tennesseans' lives. It controls how they…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Biden administration took a bad situation at our southern border and turned it into a complete and utter disaster that puts Americans in danger every day. It is often said that every…
The Department of Transportation seems to be increasingly requiring applicants to focus on merit criteria, and this is like our President's climate equity and justice goals.
I remind Members it is a little crowded back there, but we have a few more seats down front if you all want to come down here. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the folks at Back Yard Burgers, which recently closed its doors after 35…
Rather than detain illegal aliens who have no lawful basis to remain in the U.S., the Biden Administration releases the majority of them into the country.
Today I rise to honor Judge Joe Duncan as he celebrates his 100th birthday. Joe was born February 11, 1924, in Scott County, Tennessee. He was raised on a farm with his nine siblings where his parents taught him all the values of hard…
For a long time, there have been rumors that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency had a relationship with Hamas. Last week, those rumors were confirmed when we discovered that 12 members of the agency were directly involved in the…

I thank my brother for allowing me to speak tonight. Mr. Speaker, the American people are not as blind and they are not as stupid as this administration and the mainstream media makes them out to be. Everyone in this world can see that…
It seems to me also that we keep hitting the targets. I mean, we are not doing anything effective.
Every molecule of US LNG exported helps limit the growth of global emissions.
I will remind Members, we have a few more seats down front. I notice some of you all are crowded up in the back, but if you want to come down front, that would be quite all right. Mr. Speaker, we are nearly $35 trillion in debt right now…
It is time to dispel the false narrative that U.S. LNG exports have an impact on domestic prices.
Despite record high LNG exports, U.S. natural gas prices have collapsed since February 2022.
If U.S. LNG replaced international coal use by 2030, it would have the equivalent climate impact of electrifying every vehicle in the United States, installing rooftop solar on every U.S. home, and doubling our current wind capacity.
This week marks the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade case, which prevented States from protecting unborn children from the mass murder we now call abortion. Thankfully, last year, that case was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson. That case was…
The United States provides a lot of foreign aid to a lot of countries. It is important that we make sure that money is being spent wisely. The Biden administration has not taken this responsibility seriously at all, Mr. Speaker. The White…
We are doing a major disservice to this country by not protecting our small communities from the increased risk of deadly crime that is posed by illegal immigration.
We need to hire more Border Patrol agents--not just to process illegal immigrants, but to prevent them from entering.
Illegal immigration takes a huge toll on small towns and cities all over the country.
Illegal immigration takes a massive toll on small towns and cities all over the country, and not just the ones on the Southern border.
