BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago this Friday, our happy little town of Orlando was the subject of the deadliest mass shooting in history at that time. It happened at the Pulse nightclub, an LGBTQ+ nightclub, during Latin night. We lost 49 of our brothers and sisters, and 53 others were wounded.

Tonight, we rise to remember them, the first responders, their families, and our community as we continue to heal after this terrible tragedy, and I ask for a moment of silence.
