the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: thank you, mr. speaker. before i begin, i want to take a moment to recognize my colleague, chairman michael burgess. first, i want to let him know that he and his family will remain in our prayers during the difficult time he's now dealing with and we all will keep your daughter in our prayers as well. and as he also mentioned in his opening remarks that this is the last time that he will be managing a rule on the house floor before his retirement. and while it's no secret that congressman burgess and i have rarely agreed on issues before us, we probably can't even agree on what to have for lunch, but i have always respected his dedication. i was always respected his diligence and his service to this institution. and i know how much he loves this country. and i know i speak for all of us when i say that we appreciate his years of hard work and we wish him all the very, very best and we look forward to working with him in other compassties. he has placed his official portrait

but the lead that's hired for the appeal to massachusetts supreme court. he gives a brilliant argument in front of chief justice lemuel shaw, really tough jurist, legendary jurist, and in his argument for the first time in american history, the words equal justice under the law are used. they used by charles sumner in 1849, for the first time, the words separate but equal is inherently unequal. those words are uttered in an american by charles sumner charles, literally more than 100 years ahead of his time. the argument he makes in the sara roberts case in 1849 is almost the identical argument thurgood marshall makes in brown versus the board of education. in 1954, almost identical. much of sumner's language finds its way not just into that case, but into some of martin luther king's writing, into civil rights act of 1964, into the voting rights act of 1965. it's sumner's language. he's making these arguments 1849. that's incredibly early to be making these arguments. and he does after elected and he's elected in 1851 by the massachusetts legislature, if y

in massachusetts -- voters said no. >> let me ask about the vegetables question. i really like it when politicians ask our schools -- i didn't see much of it. we have pandemic learning laws. don't get me started on chronic absenteeism. no one seems to care that much about rigor, is there somebody somewhere in election night that took a stance for easier vegetables? >> no. we should not ignore that part of this is symptomatic of something else. excuse the term, we screwed so many kids over so hard by keeping the schools close longer than we needed to. when the new started coming out about how bad that was, people were like i don't want to see this anymore. it's like the national debt when you talk about learning loss, it's like living fear on one side. you can also argue we never really had fiscal accountability. at best we had transparency. the act of beholding the schools accountable, reconfiguring, that almost never happened. if you accept that at best we had a system of accountability, and that changes what we think about right now substantially. i think that i

the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. mcgovern, for five minutes. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i rise today to speak about sudan. where people are suffering the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. yet, sudan is all but invisible. in 2004, i stood with my colleagues in the house and senate, n.g.o.'s and movements and president george w. bush in denouncing genocide in darfur and calling for the end of killing and oppression by the sudanese -- suedianese dictator. in april of 2019 i sell rated the courage of the people who overthrew bashir. i supported their aspirations to create a new democratic civilian government their hopes were frustrated in october, 2021 when two generals carried out a military coup against the transational government. then in april, 2023, those two generals, one in charge of the suedianese armed forces and the other in charge of the rapid support forces turned on one another in a pour struggle that has laid waste to sudan. both sides have been accused of carrying out war crimes and the r.s.f. has be

i have one investment in massachusetts. massachusetts put in eight tax and excess tax above a certain level. massachusetts is my biggest tax bill last year. i have one investment there. i think this idea of economic freedom i think it's economic freedom. i don't think we been degenerated yet to this idea of the enemy of the state, i hope we won't. i'm part of the republican party. i studied theory a lot and part of the republican party that is think the best revenge is the one on november 5 let's not set off tit-for-tat chain reaction traditionally, conservatives are the adults in the room. let's stay that way. it is alarming. it is alarming on both sides to see the breakdown in the federal system. whether it was during trump with sanctuary cities we are not going to enforce the law. in the state of texas feel as though they have to enforce their own border. we've got to get back to this idea that the federal system does work. >> everyone please join me in thanking him.

all from massachusetts? >> you know, lawrence, you and i, we grew up in greater boston.al, beth israel, the leahy clinic as the center of the health care system for the united states and the world. today, we look at kendall square where every single major biotech in the world is trying to find cures, vaccines for new diseases. so yes, i take a great pride in coming from boston. we are the health care capital of the united states and the world. we're the biotech capital of the world. and science is at the center of our identity. and when that science gets questioned, it goes right to the heart of what we're trying to convince hundreds of thousands of young people to consider as a career. and we cannot have someone that, rather than encouraging science, defending science, we have someone attacking science. and someone who should know better. so again, this just goes to what we should be focusing upon, and that is access for those who do not have it. looking at the price for people who can't afford it and making sure that we are protecting this health system against the loo

so does it change something like what we have in, massachusetts, that there are no party in massachusetts? and i think this surprises people. maybe of massachusetts has one of the least competitive electoral systems in the entire country. the only state that comes close to it is oklahoma. and what's true is that in both states, the entire congressional delegation is made up of just party in massachusetts in 2022, every congressional seat was decided not in the general election, but in the and every primary was uncontested. so you tell me if that was an election that is democracy, not when voters don't have real choice and competition and under this system in november, you will be able to have multiple candidates on your ballot so that even if district is always going to elect a democrat or republican, you have the choice to say, well, what kind of democrat or republican are they going to be representing me? because they're going to be trying to earn my vote. next question. yeah, i feel like very like i was in 2016. i was in high school. i didn't know anything about politics. 2020. i actua

one of my most memorable was to go to massachusetts, and i had a leader there who was from brooklyn, new york. he was a cuban american, and his name was eloy cruz. i would read a few verses from the bible in using a different vocabulary than the one i had used in the navy. i might say. and then eloy cruz would give the plan of salvation to prospective followers of christ. and it was a remarkable successful then winning those souls to be christians when. we got through with our assignment in massachusetts and began to and got ready to leave to go back home. i asked like cruz, what is the secret to your success in winning soldier christ? and he was a little embarrassed by that question. but then he finally said, i tried to have two loves in my heart. one love is god and the other love have it in my heart. i try is for the person who happens to be in front of me at any particular time that's. a very profound statement and one that i remember ever since that time. since leaving the white house, i've got a professor at emory university. i just finished about 36 years as a professor, and i

they were the ones who were targeted in 1983, another constituent from kingsbury, massachusetts, said that after her father passed away, her mother, a retired school employee lost over $1,000 a month in social security. now in addition to mourning her husband, she also struggles to pay bills and meet her basic needs. there are three million more stories of injustice and indignity just like this. we know the federal government can be in the business of allowing windfalls, major corporations hiking up prices on american people while paying effectively no federal taxes, that's a windfall. private equity cronies making millions off the backs of workers while laying them off and gutting their pensions, that's a windfall. but make no mistake, allowing a third grade teacher, a town firefighter, and the mailman to receive their hard-earned retirement benefits is not a windfall. repealing these draconian policies is a matter of justice and dignity for millions of public servants. these workers served their communities and delivered for us every single day in every city and town across the coun
