“I am beyond devastated by the premeditated murder of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the attempted murder of Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

Thank you, Mister Chairman,
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 4, the Recissions Act of 2025, because this bill undermines and outright destroys long-held, bipartisan American values at home and abroad.
This week the Republican Majority in the House of Representatives decided that they know better than the residents of the District of Columbia what their local government needs.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to S.331, the HALT Fentanyl Act.
This bill is not a solution to the proliferation of Fentanyl Related Substances (FRS) in America. We need legislation and investments in health interventions that will save lives while taking meaningful action to stop illicit drug sales.
