Statements For the Record
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024. Mr. Speaker, this bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Let’s be clear about what this tax deal is: just another Republican handout to big corporations and oil companies. Congressional Republicans are claiming victory with this bill, touting the $600 billion in tax cuts for corporations if the corporate tax cuts in this bill are made permanent.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H. Res. 957.
We have all seen what is unfolding on our southern border, and the humanitarian and security issues it raises. The complex problems facing our immigration system need comprehensive reform, not more rhetoric and demonization of immigrants.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to urge the Biden administration to seek an unequivocal statement of commitment by the Israeli government against mass resettlement of civilians from Gaza.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (NDAA).
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.Res. 918, Republicans’ baseless attempt to distract from the ongoing criminal proceedings against former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.Res. 927.
Let me be clear – I condemn antisemitism on our university and college campuses in the strongest possible terms. If I thought this resolution was a good faith effort to combat antisemitism, I’d support it. Regrettably, that is not the case.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to share my deep concern with H.Res. 894 and the way it fails to address the rise in hate speech and threats occurring in our country and around the world. Over the last several weeks, the House has rightly made efforts to condemn antisemitism and show support for the Jewish people.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 5961, the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act. If passed, H.R. 5961 would destroy our credibility in negotiation for our nation moving forward on future diplomacy with Iran, putting the U.S.—and the world—in danger of a nuclearized Iran.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to address my vote against Rep. Lawler’s amendment #114 to the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education Appropriations bill.
