What Dina Titus said, and what was done

“Mr. Chair, I thank Mr. Mast for his eloquent defense of this amendment. Mr. Chair, I, too, rise in support of the veterans equal access amendment. Forty States, three territories, and the District of Columbia allow medical use of cannabis products, but not something for our veterans who live and work in those places.”

“Mr. Chair, I have no further speakers. In closing, I just want to thank Mr. Mast and Mr. Joyce for their leadership on this issue. Our veterans sacrifice everything for our country.”

“Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Alabama for yielding me the time and for his eloquent defense of this legislation, H.R. 5663, the ACPAC Modernization Act. The Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee, or ACPAC, provides recommendations to the Department of Transportation for improving consumer protection in aviation.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are seeing in real time how global instability can come home to hit our working families. President Trump's war of choice in Iran is not just a foreign policy blunder, but it is also exacerbating the Trump slump.”

“Mr. Speaker, I was absent from the floor and missed Roll Call Nos. 71 through 74. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 71, H.R. 6329, YEA on Roll Call No. 72, S. 2503, NAY on Roll Call No. 73, the previous question on H.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Representative Foster for having this Special Hour on such an important topic.

“The test site became a real player and had a major role in shaping our policies, both nationally and internationally, regarding testing and nonproliferation. The radiation given off by more than 100 atmospheric tests had devastating impacts, however.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to voice my opposition to President Trump's announcement that the United States will resume explosive nuclear weapons testing. As a former political science professor, scholar of history of nuclear weaponry, and now a Member of Congress representing Southern Nevada, I have learned a thing or two about our nuclear legacy.”

“Mr. Speaker, I was absent from the floor and missed roll call votes numbered 286 through 288.

“Tests on August 29th, and to commend the Republic of Kazakhstan for its role in working collaboratively with the United States to pursue nuclear disarmament and our shared nonproliferation goals.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to urge passage of my FAIR BET Act. The Republican's Triple B overturned a half-century tax provision that allowed gamblers to deduct 100 percent of their losses from their winnings.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to send a message to Senator Lee and his allies: We are not going to let you use our treasured public lands as revenue raisers to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the leader for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, the Republicans may think that they can hide what they are doing to the American people by voting on this one big, bad, beautiful, BS bill in the middle of the night.”
