Chairman Thompson said last year that he would have a border hearing and he never did. Now he's been--he's acting as a partisan agent.

For nearly 3 years now, the truth about COVID-19 and its origins have been hidden from the American people. We are at a real crossroads here. There should not be a single partisan fight over this issue. We are talking about the lives of so…

This conflict is with the CCP. It is an authoritarian regime that commits genocide against its own people.

We look forward to a bipartisan cooperation in this Congress as we all seek effective solutions to combat pervasive threats posed by the CCP to our homeland security.

We will meet CCP aggression with strength, its deception with unflinching truth, and its attempts at exploitation with justice.

It is very important that we have a hearing here in the Permian Basin, Odessa, Texas, talking about the issues.

Energy security is so important. It is important to our economy. It is important to our livelihoods. It is important to our military.

I thank my colleague for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 497, Freedom for Health Care Workers Act. I would also like to offer my condolences to my colleague on the other side of the aisle for the loss of his…

It is important that free speech be upheld--protected free speech be upheld. Not libel, not slander, and not any sort of assertion that all MAGA Republicans are bad because we know that that is not true. In fact, there are many good…

I rise because Americans are completely fed up. They are fed up with being targeted. And the assertion that I just heard that MAGA Republicans are domestic terrorists, the assertion that this is happening throughout the country, I must…

I thank my colleague from Minnesota for so eloquently explaining the underlying reason that I rise to oppose the previous question so that we may immediately consider H.R. 8749, which is my bill to strike the new tax on every American, the…

Come to my district to see that, in this energy expansion, it is going to take every available source of energy. But most importantly, it is going to take reliable energy, base-load energy, sources that are primary that can provide the…

I thank my colleagues, the ranking member and the chairman, for bringing this bill to the floor. I rise today in support of my bill to rename the veterans community- based outpatient clinic in San Angelo, Texas, the Colonel Charles and…

Charles and JoAnne Powell were a perfect team, and they supported one another as they completed their missions of life with flying colors. Together, they raised an exceptional daughter, Terri, and adored their two wonderful grandchildren…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today, I am voting against the erosion of constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. In the long history of mankind, freedom and liberty are not lost overnight. It comes by way of…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. I rise today to oppose the previous question so we can immediately consider H.R. 1255 and bring forward my good friend Mr. Guest's resolution that will support the brave men and women in the U.S…

Whether it is real or perceived, we have to get to a point where we have faith in our election system.

Nothing is more important than a secure election with integrity. We are and we should be setting the standard, the gold standard around the world.

I thank the gentlewoman from Washington for yielding time. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the Democrats' extreme pro- abortion agenda. Today, I am voting against two bills that go far beyond Roe v. Wade, which is the decision to…

What steps are we taking right here to increase domestic production? It's very simple.

Thank you, Chairwoman Slotkin, for holding this important hearing today, and thank you to our witnesses for joining us.

I cannot thank you, the SPEHA team, and your entire State Department for doing the right thing, and ultimately, putting patriotism over politics.

Today is a momentous day, as we have just received the news that my constituent, Trevor Reed, a Texan, a marine, and a patriot, has been released from a Russian prison after being held for an anguishing 985 days as a political pawn…

I have no more speakers, and I am prepared to close. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, just as a side note here, we have been talking about transparency in this bill, and I think it is important that we do keep in…

It's incredibly important that we get him home. He has tuberculosis. He's coughing up blood every minute.
