Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this six-month Continuing Resolution and the accompanying SAVE Act.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to voice my opposition to the speech given in this chamber by Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The speech given by the Prime Minister was outrageous.

He also made a full endorsement of former President Trump.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 8997, Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025. This bill makes devastating cuts that will harm consumers, take us backwards in the green energy transition, and threaten good-paying, clean energy jobs.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 7700, the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act, and H.R. 7637, the Refrigerator Freedom Act. These bills are the latest Republican attempt to manufacture a crisis and reject commonsense rulemaking from the Biden administration.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs appropriations bill.
This legislation houses some of the most important diplomacy, development, and defense initiatives for the United States and the world at-large. The programs that are funded through this bill serve some of the neediest populations in the world, helping millions of people gain access to clean water, safe shelter, nutritious food, and democracy development.
