Our lifespan has dropped. So Americans now live six years shorter than Europeans. We are the sickest nation in the world and we have the highest rate of chronic disease.

the will of the voters and the supremacy and sanctity of democratic elections precluded her from doing so.

Genes don’t cause epidemics. You need an environmental toxin.

Andy Ogles is a fraud, a complete and total fraud.

I thank the distinguished chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, my good friend, Adriano Espaillat, for his leadership and for convening us on the floor today in honor of an iconic, heroic, and trailblazing Member of Congress, Raul…

Too much money had been put into genetic research — 'a dead end,' in his words — and his project would be a correction to focus on environmental causes.

I have another question before you start your letters, Senator Booker, if you will take another question, if you will yield.

I have another question for you because I know you want to move on to some national security issues this morning.

Seven thousand staff, even though the Social Security Administration staffing is already at a 50-year low. So they are lying when they are saying this is about efficiency. They just want the money, and what do they want the money for? Tax…

Tonight I rise to honor the life and legacy of Congressman Raul Grijalva. Raul Grijalva passed away peacefully on March 13 of this year, surrounded by his wife and three daughters. Born in Tucson, Arizona, on February 19, 1948, he was…

I will ask this question. Going back--before I get to tariffs--one of the leading hospitals in New York told me if there were only a 20-percent cut of Medicaid, less steep than they show, that they would close. They are the only cancer…
