This bill could result in billions of lost revenue for our State which would hurt our ability to pay for critical goods and services including education.

The No Regulation without Representation Act is one of the most coercive and intrusive pieces of measures that I have seen.

This bill would significantly undermine our ability to find solutions for that education problem in our State.

To quote Ronald Reagan: ``Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge; it's common sense.'' Yet, this week, my Republican colleagues continued the trend of pushing through bills that deeply undermine critical…

I just wanted to go back to this question of Medicaid, because I think you have raised such an important program that is really a mainstay for the American people. A lot of people don't understand exactly how much it covers. You have…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. There really hasn't. And I want to say that, if you look at the budget, you really get a sense of where the priorities are. They are not investing in climate. They are cutting healthcare dramatically…

I thank the gentlewoman for raising that because this elimination of TIGER grants affects cities across the country--red States, blue States, Republican, and urban. We have a lot of those TIGER grants that have paid for our roads, rails…

Yesterday Congressman Brian Higgins and I introduced H. Res. 441, legislation that would require a Congressional Budget Office score before a floor vote. This resolution clearly enshrines in House rules a fundamental and very simple…

How much time do I have remaining? The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Washington has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Washington will be postponed. Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Nadler The CHAIR. It is now in order…

I have to say that this is conditional because we still don't have a budget resolution. So in the absence of a budget resolution, the reality is we are looking at a budget that could potentially raise $676 billion for defense, but at the…

The reality is that our economic security is part and parcel of our national security, and so it is in line with these values today that we introduce Amendment 334 to the National Defense Authorization Act, which states a sense of Congress…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chair, I rise today to express my strong opposition to H.R. 1215. First of all, my home State of Washington is one of those States where our Supreme Court has ruled and said that caps are not…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 325. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes…

All over the country, millions of Americans are celebrating Pride Month and our LGBTQIA communities across the country. In fact, this week I will join tens of thousands of Washingtonians at our annual Seattle pride events. We will come…

I thank the gentleman from Maryland, Representative Raskin. Mr. Speaker, it is great to have you presiding over the Chamber as well. It is all of our new Members here, and Representative Khanna from California, who is going to be taking…

I just want to again extend my thanks to both of you, and, specifically, to Mr. McGuinness for making the journey at a very difficult time.

I thank Representative Raskin for his leadership in the House. It has been a great honor to co-chair the CPC Special Order hour here every week on the floor. Since I have just been elected the first vice chair of the Congressional…
