What Stephanie I. Bice said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the rule to allow for consideration of the Senate's forthcoming reconciliation bill. The legislation comes after Democrats backed out of a bipartisan Department of Homeland Security bill all the way back in February.”

“I rise today in support of Bryan Steil's legislation, H.R. 8364, which extends the retirement waiver age for officers within the United States Capitol Police. I would like to thank Ranking Member Morelle for his collaboration on this very important piece of legislation.”

“Madam Speaker, I want to mention, my colleague, Mr. Morelle, referenced opening the capsule in 2276, and I, too, would love to see the contents, although I do wonder if our future colleagues will look at the contents and think: Why did they put books in here?”

“Madam Speaker, I could not have said it any better myself. I urge my colleagues to support S. 3705, and I yield back the balance of my time.”

“Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of H.R. 7148, which contains the Defense, Labor-Health and Human Services-Education, and Transportation-Housing and Urban Development appropriations bills. This is a strong package, and as the vice chair of the Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies, or T-HUD, I am particularly proud of that portion of this bill.”

“The package supports housing affordability and community development by providing $3.3 billion for the Community Development Block Grants and $1.25 billion for the HOME program, giving States and localities flexible tools to expand affordable housing.”

“Mr. Chair, I urge passage of this bill. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean), a member of the Appropriations Committee.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the rule to consider the final four fiscal year 2026 appropriations bills. These appropriations bills, like the previous eight that came before it, are fiscally responsible and represent a return to regular order.”

“Mr. Speaker, I stand before you, along with my colleague, Representative Keith Self of the Texas Third Congressional District, to honor Colonel Chuck DeBellevue, United States Air Force retired, an American patriot whose extraordinary courage, leadership, and lifetime of service reflect the highest ideals of our Nation and the United States Air Force.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate my incredible Marine Corps fellow, Captain Simona Elvin, for her tremendous work this past year in my office. Simona has been instrumental in helping prepare for legislation, meetings, and defense events.”

“Mr. Speaker, I was unable to attend votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 333 and YEA on Roll Call No. 334.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act, which will support a robust natural gas industry in the U.S. and meet President Trump's goal of achieving American energy dominance.”

“Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my legislation, H.R. 3486, the Stop Illegal Entry Act. Let me first start by saying I think it is rich that we stand here on the House floor and are lectured by the other side of the aisle about immigration issues when they had the last 4 years to actually address this problem.”

“Mr. Speaker, a month ago, I spoke on the House floor to congratulate the Oklahoma City Thunder on winning the Western Conference finals. Now, I am thrilled to be able to recognize the Thunder on their first NBA Finals championship.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Western Conference champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The season has been nothing short of meteoric, making this Thunder team the youngest in NBA history to reach the finals.”

“Mr. Speaker, I was unable to attend votes yesterday, as travel back from the Congressional Delegation to attend Pope Leo XIV's Mass for the beginning of his Pontificate was delayed due to a mechanical problem.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of National Police Week, which serves as a reminder to remember and memorialize law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE Act. Mr. Speaker, under President Biden, nearly 5 million illegal aliens were released into the United States.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise, obviously, in strong support of H.J. Res. 24, legislation that I authored which uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn regulations by the Biden administration.”

“In December of 2024, the Department of Energy enacted new energy efficiency standards for walk-in coolers and freezers, equipment vital to pharmacies, convenience stores, food processing facilities, food banks, restaurants, and many other establishments nationwide.”

“Recognizing these detrimental impacts, I fought against the adoption of this rule and expressed my disapproval last year during the public comment period. Like many of the rules handed down by the Biden administration, this effort will have a harsh economic impact while failing to achieve its own stated goal.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support H.R. 1968, a clean continuing resolution that funds government through September 30, 2025. I think my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are confused about what is in this bill and what is not.”

“We should debate bipartisan, full-year funding bills that grow the economy and provide vital resources Americans need. Instead, this Republican cut-and-run bill turns Congress into a missing kid on a milk carton and cedes massive power to Trump.”

“Madam Speaker, I am proud to support H.R. 26, the Protecting American Energy Production Act. The previous administration made it their mission to undercut our energy sector, adding burdensome regulations at every opportunity.”
