                   GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA HAS ARRIVED

  (Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to share the 
importance of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that President Trump 
signed into law on July Fourth.
  President Trump's America First policy is widely popular with the 
American public, and the big, beautiful bill took historic steps to 
enact this agenda into law. Unleashing American energy, further 
supporting our Border Patrol and ICE agents, and ensuring that working-
class Americans keep more money in their pockets are commonsense 
policies that my constituents overwhelmingly support. I am proud to 
have helped deliver on this agenda.
  Now, with this legislation finally signed into law by President 
Trump, Main Street businesses will be able to expand, and working-class 
Americans will take more money home in each paycheck. The golden age of 
America has arrived.


                  political violence is not the answer

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, this past weekend marked 1 
year since the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler County, 
Pennsylvania. While we thank God that President Trump's life was not 
taken, we mourn the loss of an innocent father, firefighter, and proud 
Pennsylvanian, Corey Comperatore.
  Political violence of any kind has absolutely no place in our 
society. Yet, the violent rhetoric coming from my colleagues across the 
aisle has not stopped. Now, a year after the assassination attempt on 
President Trump's life, they have turned their violent action toward 
our courageous ICE agents, who work every day to protect our 
communities.
  The political violence that we are seeing in our society today will 
not stop unless the violent rhetoric stops. One life lost to political 
violence is one too many.
  I ask my colleagues to remember that, regardless of our political 
beliefs, violence is never the answer to our Nation's problems.


         recognizing pennsylvania energy and innovation summit

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, this week, President Trump 
will join Senator Dave McCormick in Pittsburgh for the inaugural 
Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit.
  As President Trump returns our Nation to energy dominance and forges 
ahead in the race to dominate artificial intelligence, Pennsylvania 
stands ready to meet the energy needs that AI creates. This summit is 
huge. It is huge for the Commonwealth, for Pennsylvania, and for 
America.
  Under the Trump administration, we have already seen historic 
investments in the Pennsylvania economy, including the Nippon and U.S. 
Steel merger and Amazon's $20 billion investment in building data 
centers in the Commonwealth.
  Now is the time to build on this momentum to ensure that Pennsylvania 
is the hub of AI development throughout this great land.


                        honoring ritchey's dairy

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
family-owned and operated dairy business in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, 
that has been a cornerstone of the dairy industry in Blair County for 
85 years.
  Ritchey's Dairy was founded by Oliver Ritchey in 1940 just outside of 
Martinsburg in Blair County. With the help of his son, Paul, and his 
grandson, Reid, Oliver expanded operations and delivery routes 
throughout the ensuing decades, offering all types of milk to the 
local community.

  Ritchey's Dairy even made history when it became the first dairy in 
the area to transport milk purchased from other local farms in a tanker 
truck.
  In 1986, Reid Ritchey oversaw an expansion of the facility, which 
accommodated a new ice cream production room, additional freezer space, 
and new offices. Now, as the fourth generation of Ritchey's takes over, 
Reid's son, Andrew, has continued to expand the operation.
  On behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, 
I congratulate Ritchey's Dairy on the 85th anniversary of its founding 
and its proud continuation of the dairy industry in Blair County, 
Pennsylvania.
