May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Foxx). The gentleman from Virginia has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 6 minutes remaining.

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. McGuire). The gentleman from Virginia has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 8 minutes remaining.

Point of parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Miller of Illinois). The gentleman from Virginia will state his parliamentary inquiry.

I am not against States' rights. I am against creating a super State in California because they are the only ones that are entitled to get a waiver and then claiming, as the Government Accountability Office, that they have some kind of…

I believe the gentleman is referencing a Member by name, and I don't believe that is proper.

The gentlewoman apologized for the noises on the floor. I love the noises and greatly appreciate having babies around. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Begich). The gentleman from Virginia has 10 minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Let me be clear: I meant no offense and no criticism. As the gentleman from the other side of the aisle and from New Jersey knows, I love parliamentary procedure. One of the reasons that we have parliamentary procedures and rules of…

I understand there are all kinds of concerns on the other side of the aisle, but we are talking about the HALT Fentanyl Act. I could stand here and talk about Burma. We heard today that the President has extended the emergency situation…

I would point out that, while you mentioned Elon Musk, who is a U.S. citizen, you did not mention George Soros, who also is a U.S. citizen, but both of those have given money.

If WinRed is doing something to make it easier for foreign actors to donate by having massive numbers of small donations sent in, more than happy to look into that; as well as ActBlue.

When Hurricane Helene hit, the County of Pulaski was designated a couple of days before the city of Radford for FEMA assistance, and the people of Fairlawn were told that they were not in Pulaski but in Radford, so they couldn't get…

I hope that you all would keep that.

I believe that if we have a strict germaneness rule, no matter who the Speaker is, it makes that Speaker more powerful vis-a-vis the Senate.

The problem is the rule has never been used. The rule is not effective as it was written.

I think we need to go back in and work on the germaneness rule.

I think we need to take some next steps, a process that is a deterrent of a disaster.

There are too many what-if's in a situation like this because Congress has not fully considered the implications of a mass casualty event affecting Members.

A violent domestic terrorist attempted to assassinate Republican Members of Congress.

John Lewis, a colleague, great American, he used to say 'good trouble.' He did not have this in mind.

I think that there is a glitch in the process that may be setting up a system where it may accidentally get abused.

I think it is totally superfluous to the debate we are supposed to be having.
