The people doing the work around the clock deserve to be praised.

This past year exposed deep inequities in our society, but it did not create them. In San Diego County, 60 percent of families couldn't access the childcare they needed before the pandemic. We know it has only gotten worse. It isn't enough…

Today marks 200 days of this Congress; 200 days of House Democrats working to build back better. Madam Speaker, our constituents want us to meet this moment. That is why we have passed historic legislation to strengthen our democracy…

I know you said to my colleague earlier that you were working on investments in home care support and others.

I thank Mr. Cicilline for yielding to me. I am honored to join my colleagues tonight to mark Pride Month. I should know note, San Diego actually officially celebrates Pride in July. So I am happy I get an extra month to celebrate with all…

I think what's in the budget is not sufficient, and I can tell you for my constituents in San Diego, you know, of our subsidized childcare waiting list spots, more than half of them are military families.

I think it's very important for us to recognize and understand who was in the Capitol that day and why.

I think it's important that we do the process necessary and not invest in a very expensive nuclear platform.

Even before COVID-19 hit, the care economy was at the heart of our communities. Care workers keep our kids safe, our families healthy, and our businesses open. Last week, I met with a group of childcare providers in San Diego…

I would first like to just associate myself with the comments of my fellow San Diegan, Representative Vargas, about the situation we have in San Diego.

this is about making sure our service members are safe and are not surrounded by extremists

I have to give him credit for that, since I took extra time.

Before COVID-19 more than 40 percent of San Diego kids were already living in families experiencing poverty. Childhood poverty was a problem before COVID-19, and we know it has only worsened through this pandemic. America's kids deserve…

Today, the House passed H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446, two bills to enhance background checks and promote gun violence prevention. As a millennial, I am a member of what is known as the Columbine generation, a generation that grew up in the shadow…

The response to political violence must always be accountability. Without accountability, more violence will follow. I learned that working at the United Nations and the State Department in conflict settings around the world, and the…

Of the many excellent provisions in the CARES Act, which was passed by this body, undoubtedly one of the most successful was the PPP, the Paycheck Protection Program, which literally helped thousands of small businesses and over 50 million…

I want to first acknowledge an individual from my district, Dr. Sean Roberts. I grew up with Sean Roberts in Buffalo, New York. Sean is a professor now at George Washington University. He has studied the Uyghur people for over 30 years and…

Let's work towards ending our foreign dependence on the Communist regime and hold them accountable for the lives of every individual their lies have killed. I look forward to working with the Senate to refine and improve this bill and…

Thank you very much and thank you for conducting the ceremony today. I want to thank Representative Lowey and Representative King for those kind introductions. I also want to acknowledge the Members of the entire New York State delegation…

I certainly am, and we actually have a meeting scheduled with the Western Hemisphere countries on April 22.

I do think that public shaming is a very good thing for countries that are not doing the right thing.

But let me assure you that we will do everything we can to resolve all the cases, to help every left-behind parent. You have my commitment.

The Hague Abduction Convention is the best tool for resolving cases of international parental child abduction, or IPCA.

The Department of State has no higher priority than to safeguard the welfare of children who have been wrongfully abducted across international borders.

for me it is swansong time. I have two suggestions as I take my leave. The first is to my colleagues. Get to know each other and you will like each other. There is a lot to like in every Member of this body. In the words of Edward Wallis…
