Congress in June 2026

America Celebrating 250 Years

I rise today to speak about something spectacular, something worthy of a year-long celebration, and something that will shortly be lighting up the skies from sea to shining sea: the 250th anniversary of the creation of the greatest country that has ever existed.

Al GreenDemocrat, Texas

Invidious Discrimination

And still I rise with much to say, but before going into my message, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Veasey), a colleague who has done an exceptional job representing the 33rd District in the State of Texas. After he has finished, I will then continue with my message.

Kevin KileyIndependent, California

The Future of Appropriations

I will say a brief word about the passage of today's reconciliation bill. At a time when Congress is more polarized than ever, today's vote is likely to make things worse.

Chip RoyRepublican, Texas

Republican Update

I appreciate the time here on the House floor. As always, I wish it was a little more filled with my colleagues involved in robust debate on the issues of our day and the issues that present our work here in the House to solve problems for the American people.

Christopher MurphyDemocrat, Connecticut

Trump Administration

Colleagues, over the last year and a half, our President Donald Trump has turned the White House into a 24-7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis, and we should start acting like it.

David SchweikertRepublican, Arizona

Math Doesn'T Lie

This is going to be another presentation of basically budget, debt, my frustration with this place, and my frustration with telling the truth.

Delia C. RamirezDemocrat, Illinois

The United States Represents Hopeful New Beginnings

I am proudly on this House floor going to talk about what brings me to this place.

Bernard SandersIndependent, Vermont

Artificial Intelligence

I want to say a few words about what I consider to be one of the most important issues not only facing our country but facing the world, and that is the advent of artificial intelligence, which most experts agree will almost certainly be the most transformational technology in the history of humanity. It will profoundly impact the lives of every man, woman, and child in our country.

Tommy TubervilleRepublican, Alabama

Unanimous Consent Request: S. 4177

I want to bring up a subject today that is close and dear to my heart. You know, four things that made this country strong--make it the best country in the world--is God, family, military, and sports.

Glenn IveyDemocrat, Maryland

Commemorating Juneteenth

I thank my colleague from Virginia for hosting this Congressional Black Caucus special hour. I also thank my colleague from Georgia, who just finished speaking. I appreciated the powerful statement that she made and the insightful comments that she shared with us tonight.

Scott PerryRepublican, Pennsylvania

Reaffirm the Principles of Liberty by Dismantling the Surveillance State

I thank the gentleman from Texas for bringing this to light, and I am happy to engage in a colloquy with the gentleman. I am going to talk about a few things. I am going to talk about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Jennifer L. McClellanDemocrat, Virginia

Forming a More Perfect Union for All

250 years ago, the Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, gave birth to a new Nation built on the revolutionary idea that the power of government is derived from the people. The Continental Congress gave birth to a government by, of, and for the people based upon principles of liberty and justice for all.
