They are trying to scare us, but we will not be scared away.

I thank Congressman Magaziner for championing this issue and fighting to address the malnutrition of millions of children around the world. Every year, about 45 million young children worldwide suffer from severe malnutrition. That is…

What's unfair is the targeting of transgender kids and politicians abandoning them for political expediency.

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Jacobs of California moves to recommit the bill H.R. 77 to the Committee on the Judiciary. The…

Get ready for these lists of conflicts of interests because it is long: anything related to national security, the aerospace industry, transportation and highway safety, biomedical technology, artificial intelligence, peer-to-peer payment…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of passage. The vote…

That's horrific, against the law, and disastrous for our ability to recruit, retain, and protect women.

It is sadly unsurprising to me that Members of this body know next to nothing about pregnancy or abortion care, which is why we should not be the ones getting involved in these decisions in the first place. Let's clear a few things up for…

It is honestly hard to know where even to start with this bill. Maybe let's start with the name. This bill doesn't even come close to protecting women and girls in sports. In fact, it puts all women and girls in danger of sexual abuse. I…

I am so proud to represent San Diego, the largest military community in the country that is home to over 118,000 servicemembers and their families. I know firsthand the recent challenges to recruit and retain servicemembers in every…

I think we can all agree we want our military dependents to be safe and healthy. In fact, that is a crucial part of our national security. If our servicemembers are worried about their families, then they are not going to be focused on the…

As Americans, we pride ourselves on freedom, freedom to receive information and ideas from anyone and anywhere, to think freely, to speak freely, but this amendment is nothing more than censorship and a violation of our First Amendment…

Gender-affirming care is safe, effective, and medically necessary. It is supported by every major medical association in the United States representing more than 1.3 million U.S. doctors. That is why I find it incredibly concerning that…

3 years ago during my first year in Congress, I froze my eggs, which means I went through the initial stages of IVF, except that after egg retrieval, my eggs were frozen and stored. For weeks, I took hormone pills, gave myself injections…

I thank Ranking Member Nadler for his leadership on this issue. Under almost any other circumstance, law enforcement and intelligence agencies need a warrant to access our personal information. Even in the cases of utmost national security…

That's why I'm glad the subcommittee is devoting a hearing to discuss how to address the challenges facing Nigeria.

I think all of us here know that the African continent is at a pivotal moment.

Nigeria has a unique position as a bellwether, as Africa's largest economy, most populous nation, and a significant actor in the region and on the world stage.

Considering that Nigeria has the third highest maternal mortality rate in the world, this is deeply concerning to me.

friends do not let friends commit human rights abuses.

Fifty-seven percent of Republicans in this poll say that they're voting for Trump as opposed to against Biden.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, we are just a few days from what would have been the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, so it is sadly predictable that we are here debating a MAGA Republicans' bill that would stigmatize…

As the youngest Jewish Member of Congress, I know personally how hard it feels to be Jewish because I live it every day. I was in the House Chamber on January 6 when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol wearing T-shirts saying six million…

I have to admit, I wish we were in San Diego right now. I am cold.

In September, I led a letter to Secretary Blinken and Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield urging the United States to use its voice and influence to renew the mandate of the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia.
