During Immigrant Heritage Month, I rise to honor my constituent Maria Barahona, a shining example of the resilience and contributions of our immigrant community. Maria, a home-care provider and TPS recipient from El Salvador, embodies the…

For all Americans to feel part of our American story, they need to see themselves reflected in the buildings and monuments that commemorate our history. The Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez Courthouse will be the first courthouse named after a…

We know that this is getting worse. And also, even on the other side of the aisle, I have conversations with a representative from Nebraska, and I asked him, what is the number one issue facing your district? And he said housing…

One of the things we are trying to do through two caucuses I started was--the Congressional Dads Caucus--is child care, the Child Tax Credit.

I recognize that the President's budget proposal for fiscal year 2025 invests in working and middle-class families by making child care and housing more affordable.

One thing I want to make clear is that Congress should be involved. But the administration has the correct position of negotiating.

Where the administration actually continues to actively fight for American interests by insisting on changes that will level the playing field for the U.S.

It is considered to be negligible. Some people would even say it is a rounding error.

The administration has stated that they are for making Amount B mandatory and not optional, and there are--a lot of us agree with that.

We agree that the U.S. should not be discriminated against with digital service taxes designed to target only American businesses.

When Chairman Neal established the Racial Economic Equity Working Group when we were in the majority, it is an issue that we feel is important.

Some people say it is only 250 to 500, or even 700 bucks a month, but to working people that is a lot of money.

Our focus on insulin is really focused on saving money for the consumer at the pharmacy counter, not so much on shortages.

I think this is a timely hearing to deal with this issue, and I am glad that this committee has taken some steps in the past.

I am very excited to be back on the committee and to have an opportunity to ask our distinguished panel some questions.

I appreciate the bipartisan attention that this issue is receiving, that this hearing is attracting, and look forward to finding solutions for all of our constituents.

Nobody, after receiving a cancer diagnosis, should then face the indignity of learning that our health system can't even provide the basic generic drugs to help them fight their disease.

We cannot turn this around unless we make some changes here in the United States.

The bottom line up front is we have an over-reliance on foreign manufacturers.

If you would have told me that my protective equipment and my pharmaceuticals relied on an adversary, China, I would say, 'How in the heck did we get here?'

We know that the Majority oftentimes goes back to moral panic and inciting what I believe is violence and hatred toward gay people.

What the rest of us like myself as an openly gay person, gay man, faces nothing compared to what transgender people face in this country.

I do want to commend them for calling out, particularly at this really difficult moment, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all the attacks on other minorities happening across the world in countries.

The U.S. should not remain silent.

Do we think that Donald Trump was upholding religious freedom when he posted that, quote, 'liberal Jews . . . voted to destroy America and Israel,' unquote?
