Because of their cruelly named One Big Beautiful Bill Act and Speaker Johnson's refusal to act, the Republican majority is creating a healthcare crisis that will literally dismantle American public health.”

“Francis of Assisi tucked in her wallet as a guiding principle: Make me a channel of your peace. Melissa led us through some of the State's most difficult challenges, often with a divided legislature, and the tributes that have poured in from her former colleagues from both sides of the aisle speak to her character and her leadership style.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Adina Togal, a fearless young leader who is working hard to save lives. Adina was just 12 years old herself when she suffered a severe allergy attack that almost took her life.”

I recognize Sharon Billings, Caitlin Cahill, Keith Engel, Aditi Ginuga, Anne Leland, Cathy Olson, Dave Olson, Paula Ramaley, Cole Roepke, Adaline Shinkle, Brad Shinkle, Diane Sjolander, and Anita Smithson.”

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise with a letter. This is a letter from Republican State legislators from my home State of Minnesota, addressed to President Trump and Republicans in Congress.”

“Please remind our good leaders in Washington that simply cutting the budget is not going to take away our responsibilities to the aged, those with disabilities and mental health needs, children, and the poor.”

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise on behalf of all of the families who are being hurt by this administration's reckless trade wars. Last week, I met with Minnesota families and childcare providers to talk about how expensive it is to raise a family and care for young children.”

I rise as a physician who has cared for patients for more than 20 years, and I implore my colleagues to recognize that health insurance is not just a throwaway line item that you can scratch out in a budget.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my legislation, H.R. 804, the Rural Small Business Resilience Act. As the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Rural Development, Energy, and Supply Chains, I am pleased to put forward this commonsense, bipartisan legislation that will ensure rural small businesses can operate on a level playing field.”

“Florida (Mr. Bean) for their partnership on this important, bipartisan legislation. I also thank Chairman Williams and Ranking Member Velazquez for their support of this bill. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this legislation.”
