The Public Record
American politician
Unfortunately, though, under this administration when we see an administration, a president of the United States, use Federal troops to literally walk over innocent protestors for a photo op in front of a church and to send Federal police…
Federal law does not expressly prohibit discrimination against the LGBTQ community.
There is one undeniable fact and that is discrimination is discrimination, period, regardless of how it occurs.
Once again, I reiterate the previous comments that this bill and the supporting amendments deserve the bipartisan support that we have already seen. I encourage Members across the aisle to reconsider those ideas and support the passage of…
Clearly we have seen, with what has been given to this administration through the coal industry and executives, that the President of the United States does not need to look to Ukraine for corruption; he simply needs to look at his own…
By attempting to gut several regulations, including the MATS rule, the Trump administration is placing the most vulnerable among us in harm's way.
Instead of protecting children, the Trump administration is fulfilling an industry's list of desires in exchange for corrupt contributions.
The answer is simple but frightening: Because of the corrupt influence of a handful of coal companies over the Trump administration and the EPA is why we are here.
We know the current MATS rules protect our most vulnerable: our children, our unborn, and our pregnant moms.
The EPA's actions are a direct attack on the health and welfare of pregnant women, infants, and children.
I ask that all Members and guests in the gallery rise for a moment of silence. ____________________
But I do want to point out: You know, we can legislate all we want to fight hate, fight anti-Semitism, but the reality is it has to start in our hearts and our head.
Clearly, a proper census count is a rural issue, a suburban issue, and an urban issue. It is a U.S. issue.
Our Constitution requires it. Our government relies on it and our democracy depends on it.
In many cases the use of natural infrastructure is actually more effective and less expensive than man-made structures; is that correct?
We are experiencing on a regular basis the impact of climate change and rising oceans.
The majority has called as their star witness an actor. That is right, an actor.
And the fact that you have a podium and a microphone and a platform to be able to do that is important for this incredibly difficult issue affecting so many Americans.
It is time to clean up the legacy of PFAS contamination, especially at our military bases.
If we do not act now to protect the right to clean air and clean water, if we don't work to address the existential crisis of climate change, then all of our lives are at risk.
Because these chemicals have been cavalierly dumped by corporations in rivers and landfills, they have poisoned pregnant women and permanently injured and damaged their children, who will suffer severe health problems for the rest of their…
It is the companies that make billions of dollars producing these companies, not us--not the rest of us--who should be required to prove their products are safe before them bring them to the market.
It is time to regulate PFAS chemicals. It is time to end industrial releases of PFAS into the air, into the water.
I thank the gentleman from North Carolina for his support for the bill, and once again I thank Madam Chair for her extraordinary leadership on this bill. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on…
