Today’s election in Wisconsin for the Supreme Court was a referendum on Elon Musk and Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s actions nationally.

Trump is spewing misinformation about Social Security so he can ultimately justify cutting your benefits.

I’m talking about elected Democrats traveling to Red districts or Red states to hold town halls.

We should all be reaching out to our members of the House and Senate to ask them to do the same.

How much richer will Elon get with an FAA contract to another one of his companies? My ELON MUSK Act would stop this blatant corruption.

⁦@SpeakerJohnson, get control of your caucus before we have to take other actions. This is demeaning & embarrassing.

Elon Musk is the 47th President's financial benefactor. He has invested $277 million of his own money into electing Donald Trump and other Republicans, and now apparently, he thinks he owns them. Elon Musk is destroying our Federal…

If you have ever had a steak dinner, you have likely seen a little sprig of parsley on the plate. Yes, it is food, but clearly it is meaningless to your dinner. It is simply a splash of color, likely left on your plate when you are done…

I thank Mr. Ivey for convening this Special Order hour and for his hard work on behalf of the Federal employees and all workers in his district. As a co-chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I am proud to stand with our essential…

No one should have the ability to direct funds towards their personal interest if they are working for the federal government.

Yesterday, my community of Madison, Wisconsin, was devastated by a senseless shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School that tragically claimed the lives of one student, one teacher, and the shooter, and left six others injured with…

You can't just again be number one on the planet for school shootings, for mass shootings, and not see that as a problem.

We need to deal with guns. We need to stand up to gun manufacturers and the Washington gun lobby.

Look, we just have too many of these. This is a uniquely United States problem, other countries don't have this type of mass shootings. I think it's been 480 mass shootings this year alone, over 80 in schools. That's completely…

There are plenty of reasons to support pay increases for military personnel but oppose the bloated $895 billion defense budget. My hope is that the DOGE commission will seriously scrutinize the Pentagon budget, which has failed seven…

I was not present for 30 roll call votes in the House today. Had I been present, I would have voted in the following manner: NO on Roll Call No. 297, Brecheen Amendment No. 1 to H.R. 8771; NO on Roll Call No. 298, Brecheen Amendment No. 2…

Since the October 7 Hamas attack, Netanyahu has responded with a widespread bombing campaign in Gaza. Just yesterday, nine Palestinians were killed in a strike near Rafah, six being children. This is anything but going after Hamas. This is…

I have been attending town halls and meetings across my district for the last 2 weeks in smaller communities in Wisconsin like Edgerton, Sauk City, Monroe, Mazomanie, and Darlington. These are communities with hardworking people that have…

I also want to make sure we are paying close attention to the rising threats to the LGBTQI+ students in prioritizing their rights and protections as well.

I wouldn't probably have been able to go to a public even university, much less some other universities without that help.

I oppose this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Mooney). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 73 Offered by Mr…

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Molinaro). The gentleman from Wisconsin is recognized for 5 minutes.

As I said, we are not debating the merits of the amendment. It is just not appropriate in this bill, period. Mr. Chair, I oppose the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Tennessee will be postponed. Amendment No. 64 Offered by Mr. Hill The Acting CHAIR. It is…

You heard from our Democratic leader. Democrats strongly oppose this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
