Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) announced on Thursday that she introduced a bipartisan resolution designating July as Disability Pride Month.

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 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 disrespected his role as a foreign leader speaking before a joint session of Congress. He used the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to make blatantly political attacks on American citizens who disagree with his policies. He also made a full endorsement of former President Trump.
