we all mourn the loss from the tragic attack on two National Guard members here in Washington last week. Yet, once again, the master of distraction seeks to avoid any accountability for his role in this tragedy. Only 7 months earlier, the…
There’s still a great deal more that I would like to do on behalf of the city.
I rise to honor Michael Mucchetti, my chief of staff, for concluding 25 years of devoted service. Prior to coming to Congress, he worked with me at the Texas Supreme Court as a briefing attorney. Thereafter, he practiced law and then took…
this rule further erodes the system of checks and balances that has served our democracy so well. Republicans, through it, are surrendering more and more unrestrained power to President Trump. This rule is but another step on the march to…
Until we have more elected officials willing to place gun safety over allegiance to the gun lobby, more and more families will face unbearable suffering from random acts of violence.
If the courts give Trump a victory in his scheme to maintain control of a compliant House, I will not seek reelection in the reconfigured CD37.
If this racially gerrymandered Trump map is rejected, as it should be, I will continue seeking reelection in Congressional District 37 to represent my neighbors in the only town I have ever called home.
the benefits for the middle class in the bill would be very little compared to the cost of this bill.
at 3:35 in the morning, a favorite time of Republicans for taking up this bill, we consider a travesty. The Senate took an ugly bill, went out and whipped it with an ugly stick, and made it even uglier with 17 million Americans going…
Well, I think the Senate accomplished a near-impossible task. They took an ugly bill and they made it even uglier.
These little flourishes that were added, like no tax on tips, are issues that are designed to cover the horrible job that they’re doing.
breaking yet another promise, Republicans are cutting Medicare by $500 billion. On October 1 of this year, every Medicare healthcare provider will see a 4 percent cut, and that will occur year after year as seniors try to find someone who…
America is stronger when we protect dissent in all its forms, as long as it is done in a proper way.
Rather than changing the law, Trump issues another press release that will offer consumers little or nothing.
Speaker Johnson calls our soaring national debt the ``number one threat'' to our Nation. The Republican Senate leader says that it is a ``ticking time bomb'' just before he lights the fuse with this sorry resolution that hikes the debt by…
Today Republicans offer a truly remarkable answer to unemployment insurance fraud, and that is to make a big cut in those who are already fighting unemployment insurance fraud and abuse. Likely gone will be the resources for providing the…
Brokers who sell stocks and mutual funds have long been required to file a report in January of each year on Form 1099. They send it to their customers. They send it to the Internal Revenue Service. Many honest taxpayers out there right…
This is the Republican wreckonciliation because it makes a wreck of our Nation's finances and it makes a wreck of the lives of so many of our fellow Americans. Republicans are so very troubled about our Nation's debt that they want to add…
Putin and Trump: a dictator and a wannabe, and another destroyed Ukrainian city. Thousands have been murdered and thousands of children have been kidnapped. Trump disgracefully voted yesterday with North Korea and Russia to blame the…
Very small instances--President Trump's excuse last night for freeing the violent January 6 criminals. To the 140 dedicated police officers who were injured that day, to the officer who was crushed in a door and had to protect his eye from…
May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 10\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Missouri has 3 minutes remaining.
The gentleman is trying to turn the world upside down. We are the ones who accept election results. We are not the ones who stormed the Capitol. We are not the ones who still deny the results of the last election. We believe in democracy…
I would reiterate that on October 1, the IRS, once again, extended for another year the protection that the gentleman says he wants. I am as opposed to Hamas as he is, but this has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with what…
