To me this Subcommittee and this hearing is a disgrace. It has nothing to do with helping the Americans struggling.

With news that Damar Hamlin has finally been released from the hospital, I am honored to join my fellow NFL alumni, Congressman Owens, and my colleagues here today to lead a moment recognizing Damar Hamlin's inspiring story on the floor of…

First, I want to say that we received amazing news this morning. Brittney Griner is coming home. This is a huge relief for her, her wife, Cherelle, and her family after months of uncertainty in Russia's sham justice system. I thank…

At the encouragement of Chairman Meeks, I was lucky enough to be part of the Presidential delegation to the inauguration of the new Kenyan president.

I am a big believer that unions strengthen our middle class.

I was participating in a Presidential Delegation to the Republic of Kenya and absent during the time of votes. Had I been present, I would have voted: YEA on Roll Call No. 424, H. Res. 1339, on Ordering the Previous Question; YEA on Roll…

this reform is putting a lot of power in the hands of governors and then a lot of power in the hands of the courts in the review process and very little hands -- power in the hands of Congress.

we have to make sure that we get right. Because every step we take to counter attempts to overthrow legitimate electors, will also make it harder for us in some cases to counter when we may get, for example, a false slate from a state.

the plan here was to create chaos and to try and use whatever method they could to muddy the waters enough to try and pull off what they knew was against the law.

the most important thing we can do, Ayman, is to make sure these folks don`t become governor.

the attempt to overturn that election is being done at the state level. It`s being done through voter suppression.

the most important election in American history is this next one and the one after that, because there is a concentrated effort that is going on that we saw culminate on January 6th.

the fact that we are having this much of a complicated conversation about the Electoral College is the best example of why we should just get rid of the dang thing.

you actually believe in America democracy and not try to overturn it, after the ballot.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With these words, our…

After the mass shooting in El Paso in 2019, I received a letter from then 6-year-old Cal from Rowlett, Texas. He wrote: When kids get shot, that is less friends to play with. When I grow up I don't want to hear any more on the news about…

I hope so. I certainly know that my colleagues from Florida on the Democratic side are going to be pushing for that. We should bring this back up. This judge deserves to be honored in this way.

I don`t think I can convince you have that. I just want to say that`s because of votes like judge factors that we`re having a conversation right now. That I became an attorney, I was able to serve in Congress from a state in the south…

This is a man who is worthy of being remembered, a man who is worthy of being honored. But my colleagues in the house on the Republican side, obviously pursuing some kind of different agenda than when I think many of us have been pursuing…

I think there's a lot of concern over our withdrawal from TPP and where we were going to go.

I think we need to continue to build kind of a wall of our democratic allies, partners, and the economies that we can bring to the table in this region.

I see it as also part of a deterrent strategy with China as important as it is for us to continue to shift our resources to the Pacific.

Well, 37 states, the District of Columbia, medical marijuana. Eight states plus D.C., they don`t use recreational use as legally. We got to bring the federal government into line with that.

Our democracy is at risk and it’s under attack.

I hope that other judges will see Judge Walker’s ruling, and follow it.
