And still I rise with love of country in my heart, understanding that, Mr. Speaker, we have gone from ``lock her up'' to ``Jews will not replace us,'' to now ``send her back.'' ``Send her back.'' Mr. Speaker, bigotry, hate is on the rise…

And still I rise, a proud American. But I am especially proud, Mr. Speaker, of this House of Representatives because, yesterday, this House engaged in the first part of a bipartisan--bipartisan--effort. It was bipartisan yesterday, but it…

And still I rise; because I love my country, I rise. And I rise today to ask a question of all people of good will. I rise today to pose a question: What do you do when the leader of the free world, when the leader of the country that…

And still I rise. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I love my country, and I rise today because it is important for us to understand this impeachment process. Whether you agree with the bringing of impeachment or not, it is appropriate to…

It's not the doctor's fault that patients are everywhere. It's not the nurse's fault that the crisis has suddenly overwhelmed that emergency department.

Still I rise. It has been some 84 days since the Mueller report was made public, some 84 days now that the Chief Executive Officer of this country has been above the law, some 84 days that we are aware of since the Mueller report. But in…

I am honored to present this legislation, but I am more honored to acknowledge something that is exceedingly important. The chairwoman of the committee, the Honorable Maxine Waters, has, under her leadership in this Congress, produced many…

I assure you that I want us to secure our airports, our ports of entry, but I am also concerned about suspicionless surveillance.

But one can only imagine what Mr. J. Edgar Hoover would have done with this technology.

My concern is suspicionless surveillance, suspicionless surveillance, surveilling persons who are not under suspicion perhaps by accident.

And still I rise, a proud American, and I am especially proud today because I rise to acknowledge that we have filed a resolution, H. Res. 464, that is styled the Original LGBTQ Pride Month Resolution of 2019. I am proud to be a sponsor of…

And still I rise. It is a preeminent privilege to stand here and address this august body--to address those who are within the sound of my voice would probably be more appropriate--and those who are onlookers by way of various means of…

And still I rise, Madam Speaker, because I love my country and because I have reason to be concerned, and I believe that every American has reason to be concerned about the issue that I shall address today. Those of us who are in the House…

Our border is not weaker than Honduras or El Salvador, Guatemala. We have a border that we want to secure.

We ought not deploy our assets based upon fallacious information. Assets should be deployed based upon certainty and facts.

I believe that we have a responsibility to secure our border, and I believe we also have a responsibility to deal with refugees, persons who are fleeing harm's way.

And still I rise. I rise because I love my country, and I rise today because we are celebrating and commemorating, to a certain extent, Juneteenth, when General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to alert, announce to the slaves…

I think we have to be inclusive in all ways. I don't think we can leave out any segment of society.
