There’s hundreds of billions of dollars in all of that. And then there’s other issues that are a little bigger that we’ve got to go wrestle with.
May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 8\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Maryland has 9\1/2\ minutes remaining.
Our heart goes out to our colleagues who have suffered personal tragedies. Unfortunately, none of the things that were just ascribed to this bill are true. The bill does none of those things. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the…
I simply say I am proud to have my colleague here from Minnesota (Mrs. Fischbach), who is coed the last time I checked. The fact of the matter, as my friend from Maryland and the last speaker is trying to allude to here, when we are…
I appreciate the powerful words of my friend from North Carolina, and I reserve the balance of my time.
I would note another abortion survivor, Melissa Ohden, testified before the House Judiciary Committee in 2015. ``You wouldn't know it by looking at me today, but in August of 1977, I survived a failed saline infusion abortion. . . . I know…
Today, the President of the United States issued 21 very important pardons of individuals who had been put in jail, prosecuted, persecuted, for their religious beliefs and exercise of their speech. These are individuals who are pro-life…
We are here to debate the rule. The rule that we have adopted will take up important legislation ensuring our forests are no longer such that they are going to catch fire, as we are seeing happen in California, and, importantly, to deal…
I thank my friend from Pennsylvania for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, he is right. The clock is ticking. We can't let another legislative day go and another legislative day go in which we don't deliver. The American people expect us to…
I would remind people that what happened before Christmas was precisely that, trying to cram down a bunch of stuff in a big bill, and it met with resounding failure. Let's not do that. Let's make the 119th Congress be about success…
I thank my friend from Utah for his remarks and all of the good stuff we have started off with as Republicans in this Congress and his remarks about athletics. I was a walk-on in college. I hope all of us might be able to work together to…
We could do that right now if the House would act. Right now, pass the budget, pass the instructions, and do exactly what we just laid out. Do the debt ceiling increase, do the funding for the border, and give it to Tom Homan tomorrow. In…
I thank my friend from Florida, the chairman, for his support on this legislation. I thank him for his statesmanship on this particular issue, which is critically important for not just our friendship with our ally, Israel, but also our…
When I ran for Congress in 2018, the debt was $21 trillion. I was just texting with my son back home in Austin, who I haven't seen in quite a long time because I am here trying to fight for him. When I got through cancer about 12 years…
I thank my friend from Texas for yielding. I am here tonight, as we all are, to celebrate the career, the legacy, and the friendship of Chairman Dr. Michael Burgess. We are going to miss you. It has been an honor to serve alongside you in…
I thank my friend from Texas for yielding, and I appreciate his efforts to block this time for the Texas delegation to honor one of our own, Kay Granger, whom we will miss going forward. So many of my colleagues have already touched on her…

I thank my colleague from Arizona. I didn't get a chance to get down here in time during the time that was set aside to honor her service, but I am glad I was down here and was able to get down at the tail end of it to hear her speech. It…

I thank my friend from Arizona battling through as he is recuperating from illness to come down on the floor and make sure that the American people fully understand the fiscal state of our country. He does it well. He does it eloquently…
