This hour. This moment. But where is President Biden? Where is Secretary Mayorkas? Other than purposely ignoring the laws of the United States to endanger the American people and the migrants who seek to come here, where are they? And why shouldn't we be impeaching Secretary Mayorkas for failing to faithfully execute the laws of the United States and causing death and destruction to Americans' property and to American people in the form of drug overdoses, in the form of the endangerment of our citizens and, again, the migrants who seek to come here? I would ask that question of all my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: You can take this back and wrestle it away from the administration. Sign that discharge petition. Let's have a vote. Let's have a debate. What are my colleagues afraid of? The truth? What are they afraid of? The rule of law? What are they afraid of? A secure America? Migrants who get to come here safely? Put aside the politics and stand up for our country. That is our job as Members of the House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlemen from Virginia and Pennsylvania for their leadership. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair, not to a perceived viewing audience. ____________________

I would note that the reason that the former President's name comes up is because the lingering impacts of the previous administration continue. I mean, I already mentioned you have got the mother in Florida, but I can mention dozens and…

Well, you do a great job of it. Keep pounding on the math. We have made slight progress with flat discretionary spending for 2 or 3 years and a little bit of work last year in the big, beautiful bill, but we barely dented the problem. Mr…
