Floor Speeches

Green spoke on the floor 74 times on 65 session days in the 119th Congress.

House, September 15, 2026, 641 wordsCensured but Not Silenced
And still I rise unbought, unbossed, a liberated, unelected Democrat.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, September 15, 2026, 34 wordsRaising a Question of the Privileges of the House
I rise to a question of the privileges of the House and offer H. Res. 1486, the resolution that was previously noticed.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, September 14, 2026, 60 wordsPresident Trump's Impeachable Offenses
At the conclusion of my 1-minute remarks, I ask to receive the attention of the Speaker to pose a clause 2(a)(1), rule IX resolution, a privileged resolution.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, September 3, 2026, 104 wordsPeaceful Protest Regarding Gaza Is Under Attack
And still I rise, and for this one moment, I have a very terse and laconic message. For this one moment I would simply say: If you cannot peacefully protest the genocide that took place in Gaza, if you cannot peacefully protest this, what can you peacefully protest under the Constitution of the United States of America?
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, September 3, 2026, 6,531 wordsJustice for Victims of ICE and CBP
And still I rise, and I rise as I always do, as an unbought, unbossed, liberated, and now emancipated, unelected Democrat.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, August 31, 2026, 110 wordsNepalese Flood
Still I rise, and I rise tonight on behalf of the community in Houston, Texas, where the Nepalese community resides. They have suffered a great disaster in their country, and we have been helping. We provided some millions of dollars. However, the amount of damage, the number of lives lost, and the help that will be needed will far exceed what they have received.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, July 23, 2026, 2,254 wordsAnd Still I Rise: ICE and Trump's Meme Coins
And still I rise. And I rise today as I always did, censured but not silenced, a very proud, unbossed, unbought, liberated, and unelected Democrat.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, July 16, 2026, 4,086 wordsStill I Rise
And still I rise, and today, in the name of we the people. I rise censored, Mr. Speaker, but not silenced. I rise as a unbought, unbossed, liberated Democrat--some would also add unelected liberated Democrat. My friends over on the racist radio say that proudly, and they have a lot of alacrity when they say it. They seem to say it because they seem to think that somehow they played a role in it happening.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, July 15, 2026, 95 wordsNational Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027
I rise in opposition to including funding for Israel's military in the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Program Appropriations Act. I respectfully request that funding for Israel's military be considered through a standalone bill, allowing Members to vote separately on question.
That Day on the Floor Read in the Record ↗
House, July 14, 2026, 134 wordsProtecting Privacy in Purchases Act
I thank those who had the foresight to declare that all persons are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
