“What were we talking about with all of these data centers coming online using mass amounts of new electricity? When are we going to talk about that we can't produce power plants in this country? We can hardly get out of our tracks to build nuclear plants.”
“This was done on the heels of the regular delta smelt, which for over 30 years has had tens of millions of acre-feet of water shoved out through the delta to supposedly sustain that delta smelt to no effect because they have been trawling the area, looking for the fish, trying to find the fish, and haven't found any since I believe 2017.”

“President Trump shut down the Biden-Harris migrant app which had served as a fast pass into the country. Why would we develop an app to make it easier to come into the country illegally? President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to speed up deportation and dismantle criminal networks operating on U.S. soil.”
“They may not renew the nuclear power plant in San Luis Obispo, also known as Diablo Canyon. They got a 5-year extension a couple of years ago. Is it going to go beyond that? That plant alone represents 9 percent of the power grid in California. They keep taking away the generation of power.”
“Madam Speaker, I am a California resident, and I am also a California businessman. We have a farm in northern California where we actually operate three highway trucks, and I would probably only have two except for State mandates make it to where one of my older trucks, which is a fine-running vehicle, is only allowed 1,000 miles per year…”

“Officer Rodarte was taken from us at the tender age of just 27 years old. He was a proud graduate of Rio Linda High School, class of 2016. He answered the call to serve, enlisting in the United States Army before returning home to the law enforcement role that he loved. As an officer, he was known for his dedication and professionalism. On the day he was taken from us, Officer Rodarte was participating in a multiagency operation targeting transnational drug trafficking organizations which has been horrific on the lives of so many Americans. He was trying to make a big difference on that, doing critical work and helping keep our communities and our streets safe from the scourge of fentanyl and other drugs. His sacrifice reminds us of the risks law enforcement officers are always up against.”

Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, this is a moment that you don't wish to ever have to do here, but it is time and it is proper that we recognize a fallen officer from the northern California town of Marysville. Police Officer Osmar Rodarte was a dedicated law enforcement officer. He was a U.S. Army veteran. We lost him in the line of duty in just recent days. He was a loving husband and father. He made the ultimate sacrifice while serving with the Marysville Police Department.”
“His fellow officers described him as a true hero, and those who knew him best spoke of his unwavering dedication to his family and loved ones. In the aftermath of this tragic loss, the people of Marysville, Rio Linda, and the entire North State have come together in mourning, offering prayers and support to his family. Osmar leaves behind a wife and child who now face an unimaginable loss. No words can fully ease their grief, but we must ensure that Officer Rodarte's sacrifice isn't forgotten. His service, both in uniform and in his everyday life, is a testament to his character and his deep sense of duty. We honor Officer Rodarte's bravery, his service, and his legacy. Our prayers are with his family, his fellow officers, and all who knew him. May he rest in eternal peace. God bless him. ____________________”
“He answered the call to serve his country, enlisting in the United States Army before returning home to continue that service in law enforcement. As an officer with the Marysville Police Department, he was known for his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to keeping people safe. On the day he was taken from us, Officer Rodarte was participating in a multi-agency operation targeting transnational drug trafficking organizations, work that is critical in keeping our streets safe from the influence of dangerous criminals. His sacrifice is a reminder of the risks our law enforcement officers take every day to protect the people they serve. Officer Rodarte was more than a public servant. He was a father, a husband, a brother, and a friend.”

“This vote paves the way for meaningful action on securing the border, strengthening the tax code to support our families and economic growth, and investing in reliable domestic energy, which ensures a strong national defense and setting the country on a healthier financial path. Passing this amendment allows the House to begin drafting instructions for committees to take up these critical priorities in their subgroups. The challenges facing the country require decisive action, and this process is key to delivering real solutions Americans have voted for and have been waiting for. With this step, the groundwork is in place to advance policies that strengthen the economy, protect American interests here and abroad, and create a more stable future. Let's quit hemming and hawing and get this thing done.”
