“With this money, we could have instead paid for: 66 million Social Security retirement checks, 2 years of free school lunch for every child in the United States, 2 million teachers' salaries, 1 million 4- year college degrees, or the entire SNAP program for a year, serving 40 million Americans in need of food assistance.”

“Unfortunately, this symbolism of corruption coming from the President of the United States is not novel. Need I remind the American people that he has already demolished the White House Rose Garden, planned to take over a 100-year-old public golf course in Washington, D.C., and plastered two large posters of his likeness on government bui…”

“In July of 1990, Congress passed the Americans With Disability Act, also known as the ADA. The passage of this landmark legislation was seen as an international victory for many Americans with disabilities and inspired similar legislation in 181 countries worldwide.”

“Someone must answer to the American people why soldiers serving at support bases neither in Iran nor the at the Strait of Hormuz are being exposed to enemy fire. Are there adequate defenses in place? If not, why? If so, why are they not working? If the entire Middle East is a battlefield, as a consequence of this President's war, then this administration has to be honest with the American people about the scale of the conflict we were led to believe was winding down. Mr. Speaker, I implore my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join us in exercising constitutional scrutiny that our constituents demand on the many other excesses that have occurred during this current administration. ____________________”

Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, this week we were horrified to learn of the death of four U.S. servicemembers in Jordan and Kuwait as a result of the ongoing war with Iran. The President and the Pentagon may dismiss these deaths as unfortunate consequences of war; however, I do not accept these catastrophic events as acceptable in any way, shape, or form.”
“In July of 1990, Congress passed the Americans With Disability Act, also known as the ADA. The passage of this landmark legislation was seen as an international victory for many Americans with disabilities and inspired similar legislation in 181 countries worldwide. The ADA changed the way we view disabilities and brought a level of compassion and understanding for those with a disability, oftentimes invisible. We celebrate this month with pride, for the one in four Americans reported to have a disability and the millions around the world who want to continue without limitations. In the name of furthering the ADA's mission, we must continue to create a country that is equitable, inclusive, and accessible for everyone, regardless of differences or limitations. The SPEAKER pro tempore.”
“Unfortunately, this symbolism of corruption coming from the President of the United States is not novel.

Donald Trump is trying at every attempt to enshrine his legacy in Washington, D.C., but legacy doesn't always mean being remembered for your name. This Nation is not a hotel chain. He is leaving rather a legacy of being the most un-American President we have ever had. Disability Pride Month Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Disability Pride Month.”

It is imperative that Congress exercise our congressional oversight authority so that these stratospheric costs receive due scrutiny and the voice of the people we represent may be heard. Trump's Un-American Legacy Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as President Trump lays the groundwork for a namesake arch right here in the heart of our Nation's Capital. Despite the arch's violation of a height restriction for D.C. buildings, a panel consisting of the President's allies is likely to permit the plans.”

Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today more than 5 months since the American people were forced into a war of choice in Iran. As the President's negotiations fail, Americans are still bearing the expense every day. This is all while Russell Vought and Pete Hegseth claim the cost of the war to be roughly $30 billion, but the President's request for extra funds puts the true cost at a staggering $100 billion, if not more.”

“This is a real crisis, and it is made worse by the President's decisions: a war of choice in Iran, indiscriminate tariffs, and tax cuts for billionaires, just to name a few, all this while 1 month of groceries in my home district in New York now averages over $1,200 a month. Since this President took office, the average additional cost of living for basic essentials in New York has risen to $4,000. These costs are more than just numbers. They reflect sacrifices at the grocery store, an elderly couple without care, or a young person unable to put away savings. As some in public life line their own pockets by the billions, my colleagues and I remain focused on the only thing that matters: making life more affordable again. ____________________”

“Together, we can work to ensure that no matter when a person needs it, there will be blood available to them. ____________________”
“But right now, the New York Blood Center is in its second blood emergency of the summer, signaling critically low levels of blood supply that exists for the State. In the United States, someone needs blood every 2 seconds, and while more than 60 percent are eligible to donate blood, only about 3 percent of Americans do. If just 1 percent more volunteers donated blood, we could alleviate the blood shortages that endanger the blood supply each season. I thank the millions of Americans who already regularly donate blood and encourage others to join them. Moreover, I commend the work being done at the New York Blood Center, which has been serving the tristate area for more than 60 years and today serves more than 200 hospitals and EMS partners with more than half a million lifesaving blood products.”
“The bills I introduced today will deliver relief to young families taking on a mortgage to purchase their first home and to seniors who need to update the bathroom or install a ramp to allow them to age in place. While the President claims that no one cares about housing, I look forward to moving these commonsense proposals forward with my colleagues to make affordable housing available again. Recognizing New York Blood Center Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize New York Blood Center and all community blood centers across the United States that ensure a stable blood supply for patients in our hospitals. Blood can only come from generous donors, and patients in need are relying on volunteers to roll up their sleeves and give them the gift of life.”
“No family should have to spend over one-half of their income on housing. That is why, this week, I introduced the Home Mortgage Interest Credit Act and the Senior Accessible Housing Tax Credit Act. These bills will create new tax credits on mortgage interest and home modifications to help families better afford homeownership and allow seniors to age in place. As a county executive, I worked to construct affordable housing units and deliver options for families looking to move to my home county of Westchester, but more action is needed. We must work toward a sustained, all-of-government approach through funding, tax policy, and regulatory reform to fully tackle this affordability problem.”
“Families are being torn apart, and fear is a part of everyday life for Ukrainians. We have a duty to support nations that are aiming to support life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for their citizens. That is why I firmly reassert the need to continue funding Ukraine's defense. From the floor of the House of Representatives, I extend my regards to our Ukrainian friends and allies. May they soon honor their statehood during a time of peace. Addressing Affordable Housing Crisis Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, in New York and across the country, we are in an affordable housing crisis. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, a household in the New York City region making the median income would need to spend 65 percent of their income to afford the average home.”

“The American Association of Nurse Practitioner is the largest professional membership organization for nurse practitioners, representing the interest of the over 431,000 licensed nurse practitioners in the United States who are delivering care in nearly 1 billion patient visits per year. As President of AANP, Dr. Ferrara has played a pivotal role in amplifying the voice of nurse practitioners at the national level. He has worked to ensure that policymakers recognize the essential contributions of NPs in improving access to comprehensive, patient-centered care across all health care settings. I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr.”
“Ferrara is a dedicated health care leader with over two decades of experience, including extensive work as a practicing nurse practitioner, health policy advocate, and academic leader. In addition to his role as President of AANP, he also currently serves as Associate Dean of Artificial Intelligence and Professor at the Columbia University School of Nursing where he has focused on health information technology and the implementation of evidence-based practice.
