I believe that is a helpful recognition that Federal subsidies and intervention are necessary to make homes affordable.

I see it where Michigan lost more Black homeownership than any other State in the country.

But when Congress provides housing assistance to only one out of four eligible households, while saddling public housing with a $70-billion capital backlog, we must be honest with ourselves about where the problem lies.

Before government intervention, many of the foundational elements of our housing finance system, like the secondary mortgage market, simply didn't exist.

I urge my colleagues on this Committee to work with me and other Members to strengthen the safety net for America's sugar farmers.

the housing crisis is real.

I look forward to working with you all to achieve a bipartisan farm bill.

This bipartisan bill would provide mandatory funding to purchase development rights via conservation easements from private and Tribal landowners.

U.S. sugar farmers generate more than $23 billion in economic activity and create more than 151,000 good-paying American jobs.

It strikes me as odd to hear criticism of, 'An outsized government presence distorting housing markets by supporting low-income families.'

The key aspect of the sugar loan is that to maintain its minimal cost to taxpayers, it must be repaid in full each year.

This is important. You know, I'm a scientist by training. I'm an innovator. I love technology...

That is not unique. There is many despots and dictators around the world who have declared you public enemy No. 1.

I must say I am surprised to hear that my Republican colleagues care so much about protecting the, quote, 'safety, privacy, and opportunities of women,' since their voting record and priorities this Congress shows the opposite.

Title IX was designed to give female athletes equality, fairness.

While this Committee purports to care about the safety of women, in 2021, when the House voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, 80 percent of the Republican caucus voted against that law.

So, I just want to be clear, there is not a hidden agenda. It is actually to protect women in women's sports.

It is not against any group.
