Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, released the following statement today on House Republicans’ partisan Continuing Resolution proposal that brings our nation dangerously close to a shutdown:
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 4664, Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2024. With this bill, House Republicans are enabling tax cheats, harming consumers, and inserting unacceptable right-wing policy riders.
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) released the following statement today in honor of Veterans Day:
Mr. Speaker, I strongly object to this censure resolution that seeks to punish Representative Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), who is the only Palestinian American Member of Congress, for using her Constitutionally protected right to free speech. Representative Tlaib was elected by her constituents to represent them in the U.S. House, and her voice and perspective are unique and valuable to our national debate.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to address my votes on bills passed through the House of Representatives under suspension of the Rules the week of October 30, 2023: H.Res. 559, H.R. 340, H.R. 3774, and H.Res. 798.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 4821, Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024. The overall 35 percent reduction to the top line of this bill is simply irresponsible. With this bill, House Republicans are endangering public health, damaging our public lands and natural resources, and are failing to address the existential threat of climate change.
Thank you Ranking Member DeLauro.
Mr. Speaker, the United States faces two immense national security crises at one time.
Russia’s illegal and unjust invasion of Ukraine,

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 4364, the Republican FY24 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act.
