Importantly, the proposed merger does not occur in a vacuum.

We remain concerned that the proposed merger could harm California workers and consumers.

Public transportation is critical for our communities by helping Bay Area residents get to work, access health care, and visit family, all while reducing traffic congestion.

When President Trump diverts military resources to immigration enforcement, our armed forces suffer. Critical training is delayed, flight hours are lost, and funds are pulled from military family housing and readiness priorities.

What Americans deserve now are answers. I demand that the Trump Administration explain to the American people why even more of their hard-earned money is being poured into a system that will not be able to protect us and into the pockets…

Just like his golden ballroom or golden luxury jet, Trump’s desire to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to slap his faux-gold branding onto the country’s missile defense system should anger every American who has had their healthcare or…

A $1.2 trillion price tag is outrageous in itself, but it gets even worse when you read the report and see that this exorbitant cost is only a rough estimate.

In a time when families across the country are struggling to afford healthcare, gas, food, and housing after Trump and Republicans passed massive cuts to nearly every public service program that helps with these costs, Trump is now set to…

No legislation of this scope is perfect, and while I am disappointed it does not include all my amendments, I am committed to building on the work that has been done and I am glad that this Committee was able to come to an agreement that…

I'm proud to have secured essential provisions in the BUILD America 250 Act that will improve the lives of my constituents as much as the roads they drive, the bridges they cross and the trains they ride.

America's economy is nothing without our infrastructure.

I rise today to recognize the extraordinary achievements of the 60th Comptroller Squadron at Travis Air Force Base and to congratulate the team at Travis for being named the Comptroller Squadron of the Year by Air Mobility Command.

We have three divisions that are always ready to go. One of them, the 101st Airborne, now has several thousand of its troops deployed to the southern border. For what purpose? I suppose with their binoculars looking around for something…

Thank you so much for bringing that to all of our attention. Earlier today, I met with the chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley, and we discussed much of what you just brought to our attention. The research that has been…

I thank Ms. Friedman. I would like to yield to the gentlewoman for a short colloquy. You raised the issue of education. If our goal is, as I said earlier with the Roosevelt quote, that our task is to do for those who have little, it really…

Your experience is going to be invaluable as we work through this very difficult period of time. I thank you for bringing the message to the floor and to the American people. It is very, very important that they understand the depth and…

You did this in the district which you now represent, which is what, part of Oregon?

If I might, I would like to yield to the gentlewoman for a little colloquy. Your experience before you came here, you were a physician?

I am certainly pleased that I gave Ms. Johnson an opportunity to expand. I thank her so very much. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Oregon (Ms. Dexter), a new Representative.

I would like to have a colloquy with the gentlewoman from Texas if I might.

I thank Mr. Tran very much for bringing the message to the House about what the current administration is doing to harm veterans. I also thank him for his service, both in the military and in his work in Orange County. I also appreciate…
