Puerto Rico has had one, two, three, four punches. They had the two hurricanes. Then they had the earthquake. And now they have COVID.
I went to Puerto Rico in 2017 with Representative Gonzalez-Colon and others on a trip.
I don't think anybody will be surprised, given the testimony we heard today, that these communities have also been one of the areas hardest hit by the coronavirus.
Every worker who tests positive should not have an obstacle and say, 'I'm not going to get tested because I might lose 14 days of wages.'
This is a national emergency, and only a coordinated national effort will allow us to emerge from this crisis.
The Trump administration has a long record of broken promises when it comes to testing.
Committee leaders have repeatedly emphasized that widespread testing is key to both monitoring the spread of coronavirus.
We've come a long way in our fight against COVID-19, but we must not get complacent.
I know all of us have been grappling with the terrible, terrible murder in Minnesota.
I find it very telling that the Administration didn't even show up to explain any of this today.
The Park Police violated its own use of force policies in following President Trump's directive to clear Lafayette Square.
I have been shocked by the unrestrained use of force by the Federal law enforcement agencies.
Thank you for providing the opportunity to submit written testimony to advocate for priorities in the upcoming Water Resources Development bill.
I appreciate Chair Grijalva's efforts to make a real impact and ratchet down emissions associated with programs under this Committee's jurisdiction.
Public lands and waters contribute about a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions from our country, and we have an urgent need to reduce these emissions in order to protect public health and safety.
My district in coastal Southern California is already feeling the impacts of climate change, and I think it is critical that Congress explore every option for addressing this crisis.
This was actually a very, very informative hearing for everybody on the committee on both sides of the aisle.
I think it would behoove all of you that, when you're designing your processes, your policies and pricing and procedures, that put yourself in the customers' shoes.
It's time we finally bring transparency to this marketplace so that we can protect consumers.
In order to help correct some of the problems that still persist in the industry, last year, I joined Representative Pascrell in sponsoring the 'BOSS Act.'
Today's hearing will examine the lack of transparency in the live event ticketing industry-an industry that is rife with practices that are harmful to consumers.
Today the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations is holding a hearing entitled, 'In The Dark: Lack of Transparency in the Live Event Ticketing Industry.'
I think you could probably get bipartisan consensus that we would give you the money.
