Speaker Kevin McCarthy

When someone tries to blame these Canadian fires and the smoke in our skies on climate change, tell them they're wrong. Canada and the U.S. both just need to manage our forests better. If liberal activists were truly concerned about the environment, they would want to replace Russian natural gas with American natural gas--which is far cleaner.

President Biden doesn't seem to understand reality. Everything he has done has made us less competitive with the rest of the world: → Overregulating American industry → Limiting American energy production → Failing to produce any major trade agreements

If you're Biden's leading political opponent, the DOJ will try to put you in prison. If you're Biden's son, the DOJ will give you a sweetheart deal.

I worry about the constant negativity of the media. But I keep them in my prayers, and I hope one day they’ll start rooting for America to succeed!

The House of Representatives begins every legislative day with the Pledge of Allegiance. Rep. Jen Kiggans, a former Navy helicopter pilot, led us today for Flag Day.

No more thousand-page bills. Everyone gets at least 72 hours to read legislation. When you make changes like that, it's disruptive. Republicans are going to make this place work better. And we're going to do it together.

The United States and Great Britain have a special relationship. I'm honored to welcome Prime Minister Sunak to the Capitol today to grow our bonds of freedom, democracy, and economic opportunity.

I visited Normandy a few years ago. I walked among the crosses. I read the names of the fallen. Those brave young men sacrificed everything on D-Day, and they will never be forgotten.

We’re going to pass the largest cut in American history. It's just a small step putting us on the right track. After today, I'm going to put a commission together to look at the entire budget. This debt is too large, and we can't solve the problem just looking at 11%. But I'm going to make it a bipartisan commission that we can be very serious about looking long term to solve this problem once and for all. We shouldn't have to go to a debt ceiling where a president ignores us for 97 days. We make good policies in here with work requirements. It’s going to change people's lives. People are going to get a job because of this. Roads are going to be built because of NEPA reform faster. It's going to save us money in the long run. Does it matter to you, though, that you won't have the entire conference behind you? No, it matters. It's going to become law. If I would, if I'm a member of Congress, I wouldn't want history to pass me by. But I could do the biggest cut and I could do work reforms for welfare. And I can see that we can reform NEPA for the first time in 40 years. So you're cutting the red tape to build things that make America competitive. Everybody has a right to their own opinion. But on history, I'd want to be here with this bill today.

Memorial Day reminds us that freedom is never free. Let us all take time to remember our men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we can live in the greatest nation on earth. 🇺🇸

Democrats Repeatedly Say They Won’t Negotiate Over the Debt Ceiling

The federal government is collecting more money than at any time in history. But when the Democrats controlled everything over the last two years, they spent way more than ever before. That's why we have to tackle America's debt crisis now—before it's too late.

Your Capitol is open! Come visit and stand in my favorite spot in the whole building—where Abraham Lincoln's desk used to be.

I don't think it's right that Washington borrows money from China to pay somebody who is able-bodied with no dependents to sit at home on a couch. It is proven that work requirements help lift people out of poverty and into productivity.

"There's a police shortage in communities across America, but rather than fix this problem radical Democrats have responded by introducing even more anti-police policies. "Enough is enough. "House Republicans just voted to nullify the most anti-police policy to ever be jammed through the D.C. City Council. "The vast majority of Democrats voted against law enforcement and in favor of soft on-crime policies but now more than ever we need to send a clear message America backs the blue. "The House has acted. "The Senate must now take up the bill and then President Biden should stand with our law enforcement and sign it into law."

Democrats have had 2 years to fix the border crisis they created. But they still have no plan. So today, Republicans are passing the strongest border security bill America has ever seen.

It’s an honor to welcome the President of South Korea to the Capitol. Our republics must stand together always. Today’s joint meeting is a historic step in strengthening our alliance even further.

The Senate has done nothing. The President has done nothing. The House will lift the debt ceiling and limit the growth of Washington spending.
