Remarks

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026.

The only thing that did move was the level of pain Democrats inflicted on the nation.
