Congress in May 2026

David SchweikertRepublican, Arizona

Our Economic Future

I am actually going to try something that we have done over and over.

James P. McGovernDemocrat, Massachusetts

Providing That Section 11 of House Resolution 1224 Shall Have No Force or Effect

I thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Sierra College Nevada County Campus

I will take a moment to recognize and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Sierra College Nevada County Campus. First opening its doors to the Nevada County community in 1996, Sierra College has remained dedicated to cultivating students' success by empowering them to achieve their goals and support them in their academic endeavors.

John KennedyRepublican, Louisiana

The Economy

As the Presiding Officer well knows-- because I am about to describe the good people of West Virginia as well as the good people of Louisiana and of many other States--most Americans get up every day. They go to work. They obey the law. They try to teach their children values. They try to do the right thing by their children, and they try to put aside a little money for retirement.

Timothy M. KennedyDemocrat, New York

Fourth Anniversary of the Tops Supermarket Shooting in Buffalo, New York

I rise today with a heavy heart as we commemorate the fourth anniversary of the Tops Supermarket shooting in my community of Buffalo, New York.

Brian J. MastRepublican, Florida

Directing the President, Pursuant to Section 5(C) of the War Powers Resolution, to Remove the United States Armed Forces From Hostilities Against the Islamic Republic of Iran

Pursuant to the order of the House of April 27, 2026, I call up the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 75) directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.

Joseph D. MorelleDemocrat, New York

Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act

I have said it before, and I will say it again: The Smithsonian American Women's History Museum is long overdue, and it deserves a place on The National Mall, period, end of sentence.

Andy BiggsRepublican, Arizona

Monitor Accountability Act

Pursuant to House Resolution 1275, I call up the bill (H.R. 8365) to provide for conditions on the appointment of monitors by courts, and for other purposes, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.

Mark TakanoDemocrat, California

Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2026

I rise today with a very heavy heart and in opposition to this bill.

Earl L. "Buddy" CarterRepublican, Georgia

Recognizing Griff Lynch

I rise today to recognize Griff Lynch for his outstanding service as president and CEO of the Georgia Ports Authority.

Jamie RaskinDemocrat, Maryland

Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act of 2025

I rise today in strong opposition to the Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act, which is a truly strange bill. The bill, first of all, refers to violent offenders, but it is unclear exactly why. It applies to all offenders. In any event, it would redefine the business of insurance to include the posting of monetary bail, criminal bail bonds, and Federal immigration bail bonds.

Glenn GrothmanRepublican, Wisconsin

America Is Not Racist

As we head out for a recess for Memorial Day, I think it is important to address a few issues that have to be countered because the normal mainstream press will not address them.
