Behind me are pictures from the patients who died at Steward Hospitals in Massachusetts when Steward directed millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars away from paying their bills and into the pockets of corporate…

Here we are once again. My Republican colleagues have decided to end the 118th Congress the same way they started it; not with a serious budget but with partisan chaos. Let's look at the last 2 years. First, the GOP manufactured a debt…

I was necessarily absent, but had I been present, I would have voted yea on rollcall vote No. 208, the nomination of Charles J. Willoughby, Jr., to be an Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. I was necessarily…

What would you have done with the $800 million that Cerberus took out of the system? What would you have done with the $40 million that Ralph de la Torre used to buy his own private yacht?

But for those corporations, private equity, those profits came first, meaning the patients came last.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and Firearm Suicide Prevention Day. In 2022, almost 50,000 Americans died by suicide. 1.6 million Americans attempted suicide. More than half of all gun deaths in the United States are by suicide. On…

The public doesn't oftentimes get to see this part of Congress where Republicans and Democrats come together to honor a true friend on days on which we agreed and disagreed, but I think Jan Schakowsky summed up the earnestness of our pal…

Let me thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly) for doing this and helping bring us along this evening. There is nobody that went at it with Mr. Kelly more vigorously in the Ways and Means Committee than Bill Pascrell. After the…

Trump made a deal with terrorists, something that we don't do in America. Trump wanted to pull out of Afghanistan sooner, which would have resulted in more chaos. So, it's only people who forget their history, who can think that Trump…

To take that sacrifice and twist it and exploit it for partisan political gain is shameful.

Given what we know about Donald Trump and his fundamental disrespect for veterans, for those who serve, he is, of course, a draft dodger himself. This really is just par for the course when it comes for how Trump treats veterans.

We want to honor our veterans, not exploit them. And I will always hail the heroes of Abbey Gate, those marines who risked their lives, so that thousands of others could be free. And of course, the 13 servicemen and women who lost their…

Today, 30% of all women live in states that effectively ban abortion. Donald Trump and JD Vance in the White House, it won't be 30%, it'll be 100%.

American women are not stupid, and we are not going to trust the futures of our daughters and granddaughters to two men who have openly bragged about blocking access to abortion for women all across this country.

Don't buy it? Just read it. JD Vance actually sent a letter last year to the Department of Justice saying, 'Enforce the Comstock Act.'

American law already says that we give military aid only to those who are in compliance with international law.

We need to put an end to this war. We need to stop all the bombing, get the hostages back home, spend real resources on humanitarian relief in Gaza, and most of all give a hard shove to both parties in order to keep them at the negotiating…

The only way that we're going to protect access to abortion is to have a Democratic Congress send a bill to Kamala Harris. She will sign it into law.
