• House, April 30, 2026, 227 wordsDepartment of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026

  Let me just say that this is a victory for the hardworking men and women whose lives were put on hold by Republicans for 76 days, but these hardworking men and women continued to work while Republicans shut down this government and held them hostage.

• House, April 15, 2026, 551 wordsProviding for Consideration of H.R. 6387, Fire Improvement and Reforming Exceptional Events Act; Providing for Consideration of H.R.

  It has been more than 20 days since the United States Senate reached a unanimous agreement to all but end the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Yet, Republican House leadership refuses to bring the measure up for a vote on the House floor. It would pass overwhelmingly here, without question. Without question.

• House, March 27, 2026, 495 wordsProviding for Disposition of Senate Amendment to H.R. 7147, Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026

  The bill we are debating tonight will never become law. It is dead on arrival, doomed. The Senate has gone home. They did their job. They worked together in a bipartisan way to negotiate, deliberate, and strike an agreement that passed unanimously out of the Senate Chamber.
