As we stand here today on the House floor, Donald Trump's Secretary of Health is announcing that he is firing over 10,000 healthcare professionals across America. These are the doctors, practitioners, experts, and scientists who keep us…

What is not respectful is when the Trump administration gives them a few days' notice and pulls the rug from under them and cancels the program that is going to allow the food bank--their customer--to buy their food. What do those farmers…

When asked his opinion of Lincoln's performance, former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass replied: It was a sacred effort. Let me be the first to say this is a sacred effort, Senator Booker, and I am proud to stand alongside you…

If they are going to vote to take these programs away-- they have the votes, my Republican colleagues--just be honest. Treat my constituents with respect and dignity so that they can plan, so that a single mom that has a child whose…

I thank my colleague for convening this Special Order hour. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the real-world impacts of what is happening right now in our Federal Government. With the dismantling of Federal agencies, the free fall of…
