STOPPING CRIMINAL FENTANYL SALES
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, as we move toward the Fourth of July,
after celebrating and commemorating Juneteenth, I want to talk a bit
about freedom.
I ask my colleagues to join me in cosponsoring my legislation, the
STOP Fentanyl Now Act, to prevent the rise in the criminal selling of
fentanyl and the death that comes to our children and to stop the
online sales. Join me in stating to America that we will not give up on
the fight against eliminating fentanyl in our streets and in our homes.
Then, Mr. Speaker, I think it is important to take note that a Member
stood on the floor and utilized the Constitution about impeaching the
President of the United States, Joe Biden. There is no basis in this
Constitution for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Isn't it interesting that border crossings are down, but because they
disagree with immigration policies that they have helped contribute to,
they want to impeach him?
Finally, happy Pride Month and happy understanding that we all are
created equal. The LGBTQ+ community stands tall as Americans in this
Nation. Happy Pride.
