I want to give some flavor to what we have experienced, particularly in Kerrville and in the Hill Country and that part of our great State, over the last 10 days or so. Remember that, on July Fourth in Kerrville, there is an area in the…

I do want to reiterate something that I believe Mr. Self referred to and maybe Mr. Crenshaw. That is our colleagues who have stepped up, guys like our friend Morgan Luttrell, who has not been in front of cameras. He has not been doing…

I called the President to tell him what was happening in the district that I represent, that I am proud to represent, the flooding and it was terrible... this administration was on the ground in the district that I represent helping…

I rise today mourning the loss of life in the State of Texas that touched profoundly everybody across this great country and so many people who are visiting this part of Texas. Obviously, we have been struck by the loss of life…

I thank my friend from west Texas. I appreciate his sharing with the country and with all of us and our colleagues the testimony of his little girls and his family and their connection to Camp Mystic. He has been an extraordinary…

We remain hopeful. There’s been a few stories of kids that made it. A young woman survived on a mattress, floating on the water for a while.

My kids' school — there was one of their schoolmates, was missing, and one of the kids she was on a mattress for two, three hours in the middle of the night.

There’s going to be a lot of finger-pointing, a lot of second-guessing and Monday morning quarterbacking.

It's just an absurd policy.

I just still think the math is off. I think it violates the [budget] framework.

I think the odds are a hell of a lot lower than they were even 48 hours ago or 72 hours ago based on the deal-cutting that I just saw.

It’s just an absurd policy.

I want to accelerate that. I want the border money. I want to vote yes, but I can’t vote yes just because they say I have to.

So rather than forcing it through this week, we should have the conversations we need to with the Senate, see what they do, review the bill, find where we can find savings, find where we can adjust what we’re doing on tax policy and make…

I will not negotiate via X. But it’s important to know that jamming us with a bill before we’ve had any chance to review the implications of major changes & re-writes, fluid scores, a high likelihood of violating the house framework…

I appreciate those kind remarks from the gentleman. I consider the gentleman from Texas a friend, and I am sincere in wishing him safe travels and well wishes heading back home. We throw a lot of barbs around this Chamber, for good reason…

Rumor is Senate plans to jam the House with its weaker, unacceptable [One Big Beautiful Bill] before 7/4.

I’m not going to vote for a bill that does that.

I support this rule, and I rise in support of the rule. For the American people watching back home, we are here because, on June 3, the House of Representatives received a rescissions request from the White House to eliminate $9 billion in…

There’s a total tax cliff in there. There’s about $1.5 trillion worth of taxes that expire in four years, five years, which means what? In five years, they’ll just keep them going. This is why we end up with the same problem.

I believe it is a good bill, and I will say it again: I think the bill can get better. I think the Senate should improve it. I think that we should find more savings, but to say to the American people that it is creating deficits, ignoring…

I recognize that today is an important day in the history of our country. As we all know, 81 years ago, on June 6, 1944, we had over 150,000 Allied troops who attacked the beaches at Normandy, knowing full well what they were walking into…

For me, it's moving the right bill. We should legislate; we should get it done right.

It is unfortunately front-loaded in deficits and backloaded in savings, which I do not like.

We can and must do better before we pass the final product.
