U.S. House of Representatives

When public transportation is accessible, everyone benefits.

Let’s finish the assignment, make Dr. King’s dream a reality, and fulfill the promise of a better America.

We fight for an America where nobody feels that they have to carry a passport to prove they belong.

The work of renewing and perfecting the idea of America does not happen on its own.

Every generation must take up the work of renewing and perfecting the idea of America so that America lives up to its promise.

This is my bigger fear right now—people don’t go vote.

And what happens is that’ll impact me because . . . two things will either happen.

Because I’m telling you right now, I’m hearing it already.

There are those that believe I have an underground railroad popping off in Texas, and that I’ve been telling all the Black folk on the underground railroad, ‘Don’t do this or don’t do that,’ and it’s so far from the truth.

I personally don’t feel like the excitement necessarily exists within the Black community.

Black voters are practical. So at the end of the day, I don’t know that they’re going to have to be the most excited. But I will tell you that you always want voters to be excited.

I will fight this, both for Yosemite and for every treasured park that would be up for grabs if this domino falls.

We’re hoping that he will have an epiphany to understand what his job is, which is to help all Americans, no matter who they voted for.

There is a major effort to put pressure on this president to do his job, which is to help these families and communities – and he hasn’t done that.

Donald Trump has strangled these communities by refusing to give emergency assistance.

AI was undermining our democracy, damaging the environment, pos[ing] an existential risk to the human race, threaten[ing] our privacy, and reshaping how we as human beings relate to one another.

We cannot sit back and allow a handful of billionaire Big Tech oligarchs to make decisions that will reshape our economy, our democracy and the future of humanity.

If you are an illegal or you’re voting illegally, we will hunt you down, we will find you, and we will prosecute you. The American people must have confidence in our elections. Election security is not a partisan issue.

What an exciting development it is, how exciting it will be when all of you have collectively together made this dream a reality.

Mr. President: keep the project on track, and support the hundreds of thousands of hard-working Americans who rely on this train line each and every day to get to work, appointments, and see friends and loved ones. There’s nothing partisan…

First and foremost, I hadn’t had any business coming and complaining to me.

It was for you, who make this country great, who keep this country moving forward, who allow us to keep globally economic (power),

That’s where I think they’re completely missing the mark. They’re totally tone deaf to what Americans’ needs really are. And we need a serious solution.

If Republicans had a plan, this was the perfect scenario to get it passed. You should have all the votes — get it done. And they’re not doing anything.
