A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

Republicans are claiming this is about returning power to the states, but they have said themselves that they want to ban abortion nationwide.

I find it ironic that my colleagues on the other side keep talking about giving the states the right to choose about abortion, but you want to take their right to choose away from a woman.

I wish to God that when we get in our arrogant position of dictating through government, that we have respect for women

we must ensure that people have a fair right to elect their choice of elected officials that represent their values

You know, I'm not going to weigh in on whether or not he should run. If he does run he'll have my support.

This has impacted communities like mine, Detroit, which is an over 80-percent Black community.

Chairwoman Waters, I cannot thank you enough. You taught me that housing is infrastructure, and that housing is a human right.

I think it is important to make sure we push up against some of the gaslighting that continues to happen, and understand this housing crisis is not going anywhere.

We know this doesn't make any sense and that countless homebuyers, particularly first-time homebuyers, are being locked out of being able to get homeownership.

Ransomware is a National security threat that has a direct impact on the lives of Michiganders.

But you certainly from the Michigan State Police perspective are not going to do anything punitive against an organization that decides to pay ransom.

Let me say that again: 90 million times a day.

I am happy to be here in my Congressional district in East Lansing, Michigan bringing Congress and the subcommittee that I chair to the people that I serve.

As a Nation, two high-profile ransomware attacks last year... showed Americans how vulnerable our critical infrastructure can be.

We are not trying to stop that. We are just trying to stop--because what happened is people benefited from the suffering of our families during this recession--the Great Recession.
