I thank the chairman for yielding. Usually, one's healthcare is not top of mind, until it is. This, Madam Speaker, is one of those times. We have to protect people's healthcare, men and women, whether it is battling the coronavirus…

There are 240,000 defrauded students waiting for student loan relief. Over 40,000 of those students are from my home State of California. After doing nothing for students who have been defrauded by predatory colleges, the Department has…

For weeks, people across the country have been protesting in the streets, demanding justice for George Floyd, for Breonna Taylor, and for a countless number of people killed by police. Sadly, incidents like these are something that our…

I want to thank you, Madam Under Secretary Lord, very much because I know that you have been working 24/7 at this, and we all greatly appreciate that.

What we are trying to do is send a strong demand signal that we want domestic production.

I look around this room and see that everyone here is deeply committed to the mission of giving everyone in this country a fair shot at achieving the American Dream.

Few people can afford the time or money to dedicate weeks or months to a pre-apprenticeship program without income to support themselves and their families.

the Registered Apprenticeship system has a proven potential to reach hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American workers.

We want to give that conversation a fresh look and acknowledge that we need to do a better job of ensuring that people... understand the many pathways they have to accessing the high-quality lifelong learning opportunities that…

There was a United States senator once from Illinois named Barack Obama who got into the SAFETEA-LU Bill that you could use a half a percent of your SAFETEA-LU money to build the road construction work force of the future, women, people of…

I would hope that given the Trump administration's Stated interest in growing apprenticeships, it will embrace the opportunity to meaningfully scale up Registered Apprenticeships systems through this bill.

I wanted to go to a local issue in the San Diego community.

I wanted to mention that one of my constituents asked why the GPO doesn't produce a Congressional Directory until about three-quarters of the way through Congress when it would be more useful to have it sooner.

I had asked General Milley about the cut to the Virginia-class submarine.

But what--could you tell us what funds are you planning on transferring to the wall in 2021 so that we can find a better use for those dollars now?

They are there because Congress put them there.

If they--if they were not requested and if they are not important, if they are not a high priority, why are they there? And aren't there many, many more uses that we have for those dollars?

244 years ago women were left out of our Constitution by the men who drafted it. But since then, generations of women and men have blazed a steady trail towards equality in this country; but we still do not have constitutional equality. I…

We are supposed to be funding special needs at 40 percent. We are nowhere near there.

When a college makes promises to recruit students, we expect those promises to be met. Yet time after time we see colleges closing or losing accreditation, leaving their students with worthless degrees. There are currently 240,000…

I voted against the 2002 AUMF. In coming to that very difficult decision, I learned an important lesson: that we must ask every administration that seeks to use military force how it will manage the consequences of its actions, even if…

what you feel sometimes gets lost, sort of, on the radar screen in terms of what the needs of people, of voters really are

Can you think of an instance when you've actually picked up a problem, and they've corrected it?
