I often talk about climate change. We can debate about how severe it will be or how fast it will come, but we can't debate any longer that it is coming.

And I hope that all of us, whether it is you in your community or us here serving our country in the House of Representatives, that we make our decisions based on what side of history do we want to be on for our kids, our grandkids, and…

We must not place the burden of reforming the Postal Service on the backs of the Postal workers.

We have never had a better partner on the other side of the aisle on postal reform than Mr. Meadows.

I believe that is -- that is one potential option. I hope it doesn't come to that. We haven't done it since the 1870s, apparently, but that is a latent power of Congress.

I believe anyone who defies a legitimately issued subpoena by the Congress of the United States puts himself or herself in enormous legal peril, and that can include fines, contempt of Congress, civil pursuit in courts of law, and possible…

The President's budget would gut democracy promotion funding by more than half.

I will say it is always troubling when politicians interpose themselves for science and for empirical-based policymaking when we do not like the conclusions we come up with on our own.

the introduction of U.S. military could backfire.

the only thing keeping Guaido, President Guaido alive and safe is a threat of credible force.

Let us reestablish American leadership. The Paris Accords are a faint first step of what we need to do.

Only the legislative branch has the right to decide on war and peace.

But we cannot help it by cutting the program in half. And I commend to you a reevaluation of that.

There is nothing more momentous and consequential in any vote we will ever cast than it is about war and peace.

I do not think that is the choice at all in front of us.

Does anyone here really believe that the amendments we are going to consider and have considered to this bill are designed to improve it?

I thank my friend from West Virginia. I think this is an important honor, and it is an important technical correction. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

As Mr. Zeldin indicated, there is nothing we can do, not this action, that can really make up for the loss of a loved one, even in the time of war. But we can, as a grateful Nation, explain our appreciation and gratitude for the ultimate…
