The state's infrastructure received a C- on its infrastructure report card, illustrating the dire need for these investments that we are talking about today.

We fixed that flaw for this coming year, and I sincerely hope we are going to make that fix permanent going forward.

One of the most important steps we took in the American Rescue Plan was to make the Child Tax Credit fully refundable.

It will leave a stain on who we are as Americans since we would be exchanging the religious freedoms of tribal people for a promise of jobs and profit offered by a foreign mining interest.

I appreciate that answer as well, and I think that the work that you are doing on the Non-Filer portal is going to be enormously important to answering these questions in a way that gets the American people the help that they need.

I was disappointed to hear you say in March that families will need to file a 2020 tax return in order to receive their advance Child Tax Credit payments.

the American Rescue Plan today is a significant expansion of the Child Tax Credit modeled after my American Family Act I built with Senator Brown, which would cut childhood poverty nearly in half.

I think that`s certainly the case, Lawrence. That was certainly my observation as well at the Rose Garden today during this critically important ceremony.

Congressman Neguse was in the Rose Garden today when President Biden announced his new executive orders to reduce gun violence, after ten people were murdered in a supermarket in Congressman Neguse`s district in Boulder, Colorado last…

It`s time to cut the crap and remember this is the people`s House. Madam Speaker, tear down this wall.

I'm just not going to work with them because I'm not going to normalize that extremism. I'm not going to normalize violent rhetoric and stuff that's a threat to democracy as I see it.

I mean, he obviously wants to sweep this under the rug. He has always denied that this was a problem or he had any role in it, and I expect that we'll continue to see this.

thank you very much for being a part of this effort, and I want to thank my colleague from Ohio for his extraordinary leadership from the very beginning on both of these bills. He led on the EITC bill, and I was very grateful to have the…

I rise on behalf of Senator Cardin, who is a Democrat from the State of Maryland and an original cosponsor of this bill with Senator Wicker, to say what he would have said if he had been here today, which is that Alexei Navalny is a…

This is a big problem. And obviously, the President is going to continue to do what he does. But the enablers and people in Congress need to stop.
