I thank the ranking member for yielding. There is a motion to recommit that I would like to offer. If we adopt the motion to recommit, we will instruct the House Committee on the Judiciary to consider the amendment to H.R. 1808 which…
I think it would be wrong for us to have the hearing on fintech lending and not discuss Section 1071 of Dodd-Frank.
I have heard from several financial institutions about the negative impact that this will have on both small banks and small businesses.
I would also be introducing a bill this month to repeal Section 1071 and require small business advocacy review panels to presume tailoring is necessary for rulemaking.
What a great day for the babies and--as the Speaker described it--the Trump-McConnell Supreme Court. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the House amendment to S. 2938. This bill could have had strong bipartisan support if it had…
I thank my colleague from Texas (Mr. Williams) for yielding me time. I thank my colleagues, specifically Mr. Crow, for co-leading H.R. 7622, the Small Business Workforce Pipeline Act of 2022. The bill would allow small business development…
The other thing I think that took a direct hit was protection for religious beliefs.
I think there has been a huge loss of credibility when it comes to the public health system.
I hope it was not some type of knee jerk reaction to the pandemic, or that there was some type of conscious effort to somehow you know, my word, water down...

I would simply urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
I inform the gentleman from New York that we have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.
I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 6, strike lines 16 through 25. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 979, the…
I wanted to shine some light on a topic that many Wisconsinites and Americans may not really be tracking very closely. After over a year under President Biden and his administration, it is clear that the policies are having an adverse…
I just reiterate that I think there is a lot of support in the Chamber, and I support it as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
This has been a year of crisis under the leadership of President Joe Biden. At the southern border, our country was noticeably lacking leadership and solutions from the White House. Instead, President Biden took regressive actions. He…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, as we are hearing from many of my colleagues tonight, there is no shortage of policy failures to reflect on as we approach President Biden's 1-year anniversary. But the one that is still…
There has been some interest from some arts and culture organizations including in my home state of Wisconsin of temporarily removing the $300 cap on charitable giving deductions to allow more money to kind of flow into the nonprofit…
Today I rise in objection to H.R. 5746, which is the latest attempt by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to ignore the 10th Amendment and dump on the State legislatures of this Nation, basically telling them, ``You are…
That veteran also receives a monthly housing allowance which varies by location, plus $1,000 annually to cover books and other school supplies. Add that up, and we are talking about well over $100,000 worth of education benefits a veteran…
