#trump #ushouse #uscongress The week of July 14, dubbed ‘Crypto Week’ by US President Donald Trump and key Republicans in the House of Representatives, hit a rough patch on Tuesday when hardline conservatives opposed the GENIUS Act bill during a procedural vote. This prompted House Speaker Mike Johnson to cancel the remaining votes.
00:00as they are, and lifting them up with boundless grace and compassion.
00:10She lives her life grounded in faith, forgiveness, and a deep sense of joy.
00:20For Lady Zandra, family is everything, and nothing is more important.
00:24She's the proud mother of four, grandmother to eight, and great-grandmother to six.
00:31But her love doesn't stop there.
00:34Over the years, she's opened her heart to so many others who now lovingly call her mom.
00:41That says everything about the type of person that she is.
00:45As we celebrate her 75th birthday, we give thanks not only for what she's done,
00:50but for what she will do in the many years ahead.
00:53And we look forward with gratitude for all that is yet to come.
00:58On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you, Lady Zandra Lewis,
01:02for everything that you do for our community.
01:06And a happy 75th birthday.
01:13Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Arthur Duke-Sorati,
01:18a legendary coach and mentor whose reach extended far beyond the field,
01:23who passed away on April 14th, 2025.
01:27For over two decades at Grover Cleveland High School,
01:31Coach Cerati led his teams to 160 wins, 12 Harvard Cups,
01:3710 section titles, and five Yale Cups,
01:41including a 28-game winning streak.
01:45But his greatest victories were off the field.
01:49Coach Cerati wasn't just focused on winning,
01:51he was focused on the well-being of his players.
01:54He understood the challenges they faced off the field
01:57and made it his mission to create a safe, supportive environment for them.
02:02During football season, he'd host game nights at his own home on Fridays,
02:07not just for fun, but to keep his players safe,
02:10out of trouble, and focused before their big games on Saturday.
02:15He opened his heart and his home to young people
02:17who needed more than a coach.
02:19They needed a lifeline.
02:21Through football, basketball, and track,
02:23he instilled discipline, dignity, and hope.
02:26His son, Mike, said it best.
02:28He had a burning passion for helping, coaching,
02:32and teaching kids from any part of the country.
02:36That passion shaped lives and strengthened our city.
02:40Even after they graduated,
02:42former players often came back to visit him.
02:45That tells you everything you need to know
02:47about the kind of impact he had.
02:49His door was always open,
02:51and his care didn't end with the final whistle.
02:55Inducted into the Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2003,
02:58Arthur leaves behind not only his sons Michael and David
03:01and his four beloved grandchildren,
03:04but a generation of men and women
03:06whose lives were forever changed by his belief in them.
03:11Western New York is better because of his mentorship.
03:15Our nation is better because of his life
03:19and his service to our community.
03:21May Coach Sarati rest in peace.
03:24I yield back.
03:25The representative yields back.
03:27The chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas,
03:29Mr. Arrington, for five minutes.
03:35Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Ted Mitchell,
03:39chancellor of the Texas Tech University System,
03:42for 15 years of dedicated service to Red Raider Nation
03:46and the great state of Texas.
03:47I'm honored to have worked with Chancellor Mitchell over the years
03:51and proud to call him and his wonderful wife, Janet, dear friends.
03:55Chancellor Mitchell successfully led Texas Tech University System
03:59to new levels of growth, discovery,
04:02and educational excellence during his term.
04:04I wish him the very best as he enters a new chapter of his life.
04:08We have a great team of regents chaired by my friend Cody Campbell,
04:12and I'm confident they'll find the right leader,
04:14but they will have big shoes to fill, no doubt,
04:18with Chancellor Mitchell's departure.
04:20Congratulations, Ted.
04:22On behalf of the people of West Texas,
04:24thank you for bearing our banner far and wide
04:27and modeling what it means to be a true fearless champion.
04:32God bless West Texas, and long live the matador.
04:35Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the lives lost
04:44in the catastrophic floods that struck Central Texas
04:46over the 4th of July weekend.
04:49At least 134 lives have been taken,
04:52including 27 young girls and counselors at Camp Mystic in Kerr County.
04:56This is an unimaginable and heartbreaking loss
05:00for these families and for our great state.
05:02I also want to remember constituents from my district
05:05whose lives were lost.
05:07Tanya Berwick was the epitome of a hardworking West Texan,
05:12wife to Robert, married with four children and six grandchildren,
05:16and yet she did it all while working for the past 10 years
05:20at the Walmart Neighborhood Market in San Angelo, Texas,
05:24out of commitment to her family and their future.
05:28Holly Frizzell was also a mother and grandmother,
05:32married for almost 40 years to her husband Lane
05:35until he was diagnosed with dementia
05:37and ultimately passed away.
05:40So you can imagine the hardships on her
05:44in the last years of her marriage to Lane,
05:47but she turned that tragedy and struggle into service,
05:51becoming a tireless advocate for dementia awareness,
05:55and that's who she was,
05:58reflecting the very best of our country and certainly West Texas,
06:03and that's why it's a major loss to our community.
06:09Robert Brake and Joni Brake, two people devoted to service,
06:15him an Air Force veteran, her a registered nurse.
06:18They were celebrating the 4th of July in a campground next to Hunt, Texas.
06:24When the flood overtook them,
06:26they leave behind three children, five grandchildren,
06:29and several great-grandchildren,
06:31and they too will be missed.
06:34Mr. Speaker, Texans, as well as people throughout the country,
06:37are mourning this unimaginable tragedy.
06:40We should honor them by striving for the same sacrificial love and service
06:44that they so powerfully and beautifully demonstrated in their lives,
06:48and I would say that Texans are tough for a lot of reasons,
06:52but mostly because we believe in the power of prayer and God's sovereignty
06:56and because we depend on him for our comfort and confidence and strength.
07:02And I know Texans are appealing to the Father of compassion and God of all comfort
07:08to do what only he can do,
07:11what these words and any words could never do.
07:14which is provide the divine comfort and peace and strength that these families need.
07:20And so I beseech my fellow Americans and my members on both sides of the aisle,
07:26join us in prayer and asking God to do what only he can do,
07:30to lift these families up,
07:32to keep them strong and together through this every step of the way.
07:36May God bless our great country.
07:38May God comfort these families and go West Texas.
07:41The representative yields back.
07:43The chair recognizes the gentlelady from Texas, Ms. Johnson, for five minutes.
07:54Mr. Speaker,
07:54I ask unanimous consent to address the house for five minutes
07:57and to revise and extend my remarks.
07:59Without objection.
08:01Mr. Speaker,
08:02I rise today with a heavy heart to mourn the loss of so many lives across Texas.
08:09We lost the hope of our future, so many children, so many beautiful girls who just went to camp
08:18to have a good time, to bond with their friends,
08:22and to have that time that we all cherish from our memory and our own childhood.
08:29And too many lives have been lost,
08:31and we have the responsibility as members of government
08:35to have a look at why,
08:38what happened,
08:40what could we do better,
08:41and how can we make sure
08:43that things like this never, ever, ever happen again.
08:47What we know, unfortunately, is that partisan politics had a role.
08:56Republicans have historically denied the ongoing effects of climate change
09:00and what is happening in our country.
09:03Over the last decade, we've had more and more intense storms,
09:07unexpected, throughout the entire country,
09:10but surely in Texas.
09:12We've had freezes that have killed hundreds of people,
09:15and now we had a one-in-a-hundred-year catastrophic rainstorm
09:21that produced horrific floods and tragic loss of life.
09:25And what happened in this policy is that Republicans,
09:28at every level of government in our state,
09:32failed the people of Texas.
09:34At the local level,
09:36they refused to have support grants from the Biden administration
09:40that would have put in place critical sirens and warning equipment
09:44that would have warned these kids at this camp
09:47to get out and flee and seek higher ground.
09:50What we know is that communities that accepted these resources,
09:54they all survived.
09:56The warnings worked.
09:58This community didn't want to accept help from a Democrat.
10:03And now we have hundreds of people that are dead.
10:09Requests were made from the state to help, ultimately.
10:13And our governor denied requests three times
10:18for over a million dollars each time
10:20that would have again tried to provide warning equipment,
10:24again failing.
10:26And now what we have in our federal government is FEMA.
10:30FEMA is designed to be there as a last resort for communities
10:35when these unimaginable strategies strike.
10:39FEMA trains and provides our first responders,
10:42the first line of defense, the people that go in
10:45and risk their lives at a time when it is most dangerous.
10:50And they can't do it alone.
10:51And FEMA provides critical training, resources, and supplementation.
10:57FEMA is designed to have immediate response within a minimum of 15 hours.
11:05But under President Trump and his canceling of FEMA, defunding FEMA,
11:10firing FEMA employees, terminating hundreds of FEMA employees,
11:13it was over 72 hours before critical resources were brought into Texas.
11:2072 hours is critical when you're floating in a river and you need help.
11:2772 hours makes the difference between life and death in these situations.
11:33And Trump and our federal government failed.
11:37After Katrina, we saw how inadequate FEMA can be sometimes.
11:41We saw the disaster of government when it didn't work.
11:45And Congress put in place some measures to repeal and increase FEMA.
11:50One of those was you have to hire an experienced administrator of FEMA.
11:55Somebody who knows what they're doing.
11:57Because this isn't a time to play around.
12:01And this administration hired as the director of FEMA somebody
12:04that never even knew whether or not a hurricane season existed.
12:07Somebody who has no experience in this area.
12:12And then with our Homeland Security and Secretary Noem, she put in place measures,
12:18cost-cutting measures, that catastrophically impacted what the response was in this situation.
12:28Phone calls were never answered.
12:30The day after this flood happened, she canceled the contracts of the people
12:35that answer the phone when you call for help.
12:39That is not the response that this government needs.
12:42And we have to do better.
12:45So I am calling upon my Republican colleagues.
12:48I'm calling upon everyone in this Congress to have us come together.
12:53Because these tragedies don't just affect Texas.
12:56They can affect all of us.
12:59Weather is violent and fierce and deadly.
13:03And it's indiscriminate about where it strikes.
13:07But we have the ability to fix it.
13:10So I call my...

13:41...of McAllen Police Officer Ismael Garcia during the horrific attack on the McAllen Border Patrol facility last week.
13:53When an active shooter opened fire, Officer Garcia did not hesitate to jump into action.
14:01He willingly put himself in harm's way to protect his brothers and sisters in blue and green.
14:10In the face of danger, he displayed valor, sacrifice, and selflessness.
14:17When I visited him in recovery, he expressed pride in taking the bullet to protect others.
14:25Officer Garcia served our nation for four years in the Marine Corps, earning the Combat Action Ribbon for his bravery.
14:35For nearly a decade since, he has continued to answer the call of duty as a McAllen Police Officer, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
14:49May God bless Officer Garcia, our law enforcement, first responders, and the Border Patrol.
14:57Thank you, Officer Garcia, for your bravery and your courage.
15:11Today, I rise to recognize Dr. James C. Lee of Seguin for his lifetime of service and dedication to the well-being of his fellow Texans.
15:23Originally born in Houston, Dr. Lee made Seguin his home in the late 70s.
15:30For nearly three decades, he cared for patients of all ages and served as a founding member, treasurer, and finance chair of the Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation.
15:44He served on the Medical Center's Governing Board as Chairman and on the MHMR Board, helping those with disabilities and mental health needs access support.
15:59Beloved by both patients and staff, Dr. Lee's presence will dearly be missed, but his work to help community members access their health care will live on.
16:11Outside of his work in the medical field, he was a devout Catholic, president of the Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce, a 50-year member of the Knights of Congress.
