Statements For the Record
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 881, the DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act.
House Republicans just wasted another week in Washington with no legislation to show for it that would address our shrinking economy or rising cost of living.
Instead, they launched a series of attacks on a national park, an endangered species, and the ability of states to set strong standards to protect the air that we breathe.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE Act, which does nothing to protect voting rights.
Ms. Speaker, I voted in opposition to H.R. 1048 because, if enacted as written, it would place burdensome, duplicative, and potentially harmful requirements upon our nation’s institutions of higher education, without significantly improving our national security.
Mr. Speaker, the Republican’s Reckless Budget Scheme is back on the House floor today, proposing the same devastating cuts to our families and communities in exchange for massive tax breaks for Elon Musk, President Trump, and their billionaire buddies.
I am joining every Democrat in the House and Senate in opposing this resolution.

Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the life of an extraordinary man, cherished community member and dedicated veteran, Mr. Gordon Willis Kirk, affectionately known as “Gordy.” Gordy passed away on March 2, 2025, just three weeks shy of his 102nd birthday.
Mr. Speaker, in the last election, then-candidate Trump ran on lowering costs for American families. He owned the issue on the campaign trail, and he won.
