That's not a question, Mr. Macchiarola. That's a fact.

You don't think they use any of that Federal money to pay your salary to come lobby us to keep the rules in their favor?

There's nothing magical about bipartisan.

I think we need to consider legislation or even enforcement action.

So I encourage the committee to make sure that, when it comes to building up zero-emission vehicles and charging infrastructure, the Government has somebody in charge, not a working group, not an office with an acronym, but a person who is…

I urge the committee to include my proposal for a National Disaster Safety Board in this legislation.

I urge the committee to include in this legislation my proposal for a National Disaster Safety Board.

The President’s proposal, which I strongly support, is to simply revert the corporate income tax rate to what it was before Donald Trump’s disastrous presidency. This is a simple proposal. It’s to simply go back to that 28 percent rate…

The reality is the United States of America has never made the investment in families that our competitor nations have done, and it’s holding us back economically. So, that’s what this plan is about, not about somebody’s ever-changing…

I strongly support removing the single parent penalty and making sure that we're helping every single child get that benefit.

I think it`s wonderful that at long last Congress is actually doing something that makes perfect sense.

This is totally wrong and sets a dangerous precedent.

Combating hate is not a partisan issue. We can all agree that violence against any community should never be tolerated.

As a new Member of Congress and an immigrant to this country, we should be encouraging all students and young people to succeed, especially in our education system.

Equality and justice are core values of this country, yet for Americans with mental illness, the risk of being killed when approached by law enforcement is 16 times higher. An estimated one in four fatal police encounters ends the life of…

We need to stop treating mental illness like a crime.

Well, for real people, this is every minute, every hour. It means people are going hungry. It means they`re getting further behind on their rent. They`re worried about losing their car. This has already taken far, far too long.
