Statements For the Record
Mr. Speaker, I rise to voice my opposition to H.R. 6703, the so-called Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. This bill does nothing to address the health care affordability crisis and is full of tired, failed ideas from previous GOP efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the slate of permitting bills that the Republican majority has brought to the House Floor this week. These bills roll back vital protections that ensure our constituents have access to clean air and water, and have the opportunity to weigh in on projects that will affect the health of their selves, their families, and their community.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H. Con. Res. 61 and H. Con. Res. 64, war powers resolutions that direct President Trump to remove the U.S. military from hostilities in the Caribbean and against Venezuela unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (NDAA).
Ms. McCollum: Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the distinguished career of St. Paul Fire Department Chief Butch Inks on his retirement after than more than 40 years of steadfast service to the City of Saint Paul, including 31 years of dedication to public safety as a Firefighter and Chief of the Saint Paul Fire Department.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the slate of permitting bills that the Republican majority has brought to the House Floor this week. These bills roll back vital protections that ensure our constituents have access to clean air and water, and have the opportunity to weigh in on projects that will affect the health of their selves, their families, and their community.
Each November, our nation recognizes the ongoing contributions and resilience of the First Americans during Native American Heritage Month. This is a time to celebrate the vibrant and diverse cultures of Native people across this country and to honor the role that sovereign tribal governments play in making the United States of America great.
Mr. Speaker, the House already passed an identical resolution to this last Congress. I voted against it then, as I will do again today. I expressed my serious concerns with how this resolution was written then, but nothing has changed.
Mr. Speaker, the House of Representatives returned to work this week after a 43-day government shutdown and 55 days of recess in the House. And what pressing issues do the Republican Majority want to tackle first? Republicans want to waste more of the American people’s time by debating and overturning local laws of the District of Columbia.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to voice my support and co-sponsorship of H.R. 3565, the Block the Bombs Act.
