I am glad they didn't.

We are seeing our community pharmacies across the country disappear.

It is shameful to see a Russian vessel plugged into a terminal in New England selling us Russian gas.

The Fair Pricing Act seeks to reduce prescription drug costs by--for seniors by bringing all negotiated price concessions at the point of sale.

Need to have certainty that whatever they are selling they know what it costs them themselves.

I look forward to working with this committee, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, our Senate colleagues, and the President to address these fees that are hurting our seniors, our small businesses, and our taxpayers.

I think we can all agree that without prices that make these lifesaving drugs accessible, innovation for the sake of innovation is not why we were sent to Congress.

Addressing these fees would not only refocus an important part of our drug supply chain to improve patient health, but combat the financial uncertainty that these small businesses face.

These unpredictable fees increase patient cost sharing for drugs, pushing them into coverage gaps.

A recent PwC report estimated that by 2030, AI and machine-learning technologies could increase North American GDP by $3.7 trillion and could increase global GDP by $15.7 trillion.

During one of the most divisive times in American history, I rise today in a moment of American optimism. In this freshly minted 116th Congress, the most diverse in our history, I welcome all new Members, young and old; Democrats and…

Today we speak about the most egregious acts from this administration, one after another after another, but I will not forget about our children. I rise today to tell my fellow Members of Congress that I am appalled over reports of the…

I thank my friend and distinguished Member of Congress, Mr. Hastings, for providing me the opportunity to speak today on behalf of deported veterans. Mr. Speaker, setting the record for the most closed Congress is not a proud…

I ask my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question so that we can immediately bring the Dream Act to the floor. I stand before you today with a reopened government, ready to transform discussion into action. This is the 19th time…

During rollcall Vote No. 494 on H.R. 3354, I mistakenly recorded my vote as ``yea'' when I should have voted ``nay.'' Amendment No. 113 Offered by Mr. Scott of Virginia The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded…

I thank Ranking Member Waters for yielding. Mr. Chairman, today I rise in opposition to H.R. 10. While this bill may contain some language that I would agree with and that is helpful to our community banks, as well as some of our credit…

I support the regular review of regulations to ensure that they are still relevant to our ever-changing economy. Unfortunately, the retrospective review requirement in H.R. 78 is counterproductive and places heavy administrative burdens on…

Today, the Republican majority is actually telling the American people that they're better off--better off--not getting rebates from insurance companies for covering their health care expenses; better off not getting preventive services…

If you want to help your local election officials, vote ``no'' on this bad bill.

I'd like to yield time to each of my colleagues as we close out the Special Order. I would first recognize the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt).

I believe we still have at least 5 minutes, and I surely wanted to reference an article that was written by our colleague from Georgia, John Lewis. Mr. Holt, I think, has already referred to Mr. Lewis' illustrative career in the civil…

Well, the curious thing, and I know the gentlelady from Florida has already pointed it out, there is no doubt that certain segments of voters are being targeted. This isn't an even application whose consequences will be felt across equally…

I thank my colleague from Florida. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I would like to enter into colloquy with my colleagues from Florida and New Jersey. I guess I'm just going to pose the question: So what if just a few people are denied access…

And we've already touched on estimates of how millions of eligible American citizen voters don't have a current State-issued ID. The number is in the millions. And in Florida, it was less than 600 votes. I don't know the experience in New…

I thank my colleague from Florida. At this time, I yield to a dear friend and colleague who is also from the great State of Florida, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, for such time as she may consume.
