As the son of a former police officer, I will always #BackTheBlue. On this #NationalPoliceWeek, I thank every police officer, Sheriff’s deputy, state trooper, and federal law enforcement official for all they do to keep our communities safe. The men and women of law enforcement risk their lives every day to protect and serve, and we are forever grateful for their efforts.
We discussed the Motion to Vacate, which has now been officially tabled. We also covered the issue of illegal voter registration by the Small Business Administration. No federal agency or taxpayer resources should be used to directly benefit President Biden’s reelection campaign. The Small Business Committee will expose where exactly this is happening, who authorized it, and what other federal agencies are engaged in similar illegal electioneering.
As we celebrate National Nurses Week, it's essential to recognize the profound impact nurses have on their patients and communities. They're not just caregivers; they're also advocates, leaders, and educators. So this week, thank a nurse! From Sayre, to Pottsville, to Sunbury, to Williamsport, we are so very grateful to all of the incredible nurses across Pennsylvania’s Ninth District.
Philadelphia’s anti-law enforcement policies, which include defunding the police by $66 million in recent years, coupled with District Attorney Larry Krasner withdrawing and dismissing 66% of violent crime cases, have emboldened criminals and led to a rise in violent crime.
A Motion to Vacate is inappropriate right now, and such an action would only help Democrats. Democrat Leadership is not interested in saving Mike Johnson’s speakership; they’re only interested in saving their political careers. Everything they do is political, and this is no different. This is nothing more than a sad attempt to appear rational, rather than the party of the extreme left that has created policies to open our borders, weaken our economy, crush American energy, and cause chaos around the world.
Tonight, on the House floor, I honored the memory of Bryan Kendall, who tragically lost his life in a farming accident over the weekend. Bryan was proud to be a dairy farmer, and he was known as the heart of Villa Dale Farm – a legacy spanning three generations. He touched the hearts of so many in Lebanon County and beyond, and his passing has left an immense void in our community. My prayers remain with his wife Alyssa and their two children during this difficult time.
What we’re seeing on college campuses across the country is a high level of destruction. While the antisemitic protestors want to be called anarchists, what they really are is simply criminals. There is a big difference between creating change through destruction and creating change through production. This liberalism, this practice of appeasement, is all about tearing down, not building up. The worst of racism is taking place at Columbia and other universities, and not much is being done about it. It’s disgraceful.
Today, the House unanimously passed my bill, the Investing in All of America Act. This legislation will incentivize the deployment of private capital to small businesses located in rural or low-income areas, as well as small businesses in the national security technologies sector. Dollars invested in these areas will not count against individual SBIC’s existing $175 million dollar leverage cap, at no increased cost to the American taxpayer.
Secretary Mayorkas has lied to Congress under oath on many occasions and has failed to enforce existing immigration laws, a violation of Article II of the Constitution. He is guilty of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust" and was rightfully impeached by the House. Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats refusing to hold an impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas is an abdication of the Senate’s constitutional responsibility and an affront to the millions of Americans suffering from Biden’s Border Crisis.
