We need to start taking this seriously.

the census is not--shouldn't be used to marginalize communities, to silence voices...

homelessness is not just occurring in California but throughout the country.

the growing homelessness population. It is something that I know that there is a 130,000-plus homeless individuals in California, 58,000 in L.A. County alone.

Everyone must be counted.

The original NAFTA was a failure for working families, and the NAFTA 2.0 deal that President Trump signed in 2018 was not much better. House Democrats recognized that, and we rejected it, and we worked until we got an enforceable deal. As…

I include in the Record a letter to the United States Trade Representative. House of Representatives, Committee on the Judiciary, September 17, 2019. Hon. Robert E. Lighthizer, U.S. Trade Representative, Washington, DC. Dear Ambassador…

We are here at this moment in our Nation's history because the President abused the power of his office, bribed a foreign government to intrude into our democracy, and engaged in an unprecedented campaign of obstruction of Congress to…

The Grant Reporting Efficiency and Agreements Transparency Act, introduced by Representative Virginia Foxx and myself, would standardize reporting for recipients of Federal grants and cooperative agreements. Grant recipients often have to…

I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina, Representative Foxx, for her partnership on this legislation. I know, during such a historic week on a variety of fronts, this bill might be little noticed 20, 30, or 40 years from now, but what…

I thank the Congresswoman from Michigan for having this Special Order on such an important issue. When you look at inequality in America, you have to start with housing, because inequality often is started by how much a person pays to…

We are just days away from another funding cliff for our community health centers. This is unacceptable. Our Nation's community health centers need stable, long-term funding to serve the most vulnerable patients in our communities…

Let me ask you a few more questions. Did you approve this policy without even bothering to figure out how you would implement it?

When you decided to reverse the policy, why didn't you choose to issue a new--like a news alert, a public release, something that said that was being reversed?

But Mr. Albence just testified that he was first notified by a public affairs officer that learned about it through the press. That was not correct?

We need people back here fighting the fight on a lot of these important issues.
