Last year, thousands of children were forcibly separated from their parents by the Trump administration.

I really think that, as well as the safety issue, we are addressing an environmental justice issue here today.

Extending Medicaid coverage for maternal health services across continuum of care is a critical next step.

I am pleased that we are building on this effort to address outstanding racial and ethnic disparities.

Keeping our mothers and babies safe and healthy is vital.

That is great, but that still doesn't fill the vacancies throughout the Agency, not just at the headquarters level.

I think every place in Colorado is wonderful.

Would you agree with the governor and me and others that Colorado has one of the strictest methane rules of any place in the country? Is that right?

So therefore, in Colorado for example, the oil and gas industry, they comply with the Colorado rules around fracking and emissions; is that right?

Thank you so much, Madam Chair.

We have really struggled with the Trump Administration's rollback of energy efficiency standards, rollback of fuel economy standards for the cars that we drive.

I reintroduced the 'FRAC' Act, which eliminates the Halliburton loophole that was enacted in the 1990s.

Congressman Neguse and I have a set of companion bills... that, if passed together, these bills would protect about a million acres of Colorado wilderness.

I am working on legislation to pass the Methane Waste Prevention Act that reinstates this important rule at the national level.

I think that you have a very good bill.

We have to do much better.

No girl should have to choose between their dignity or their education, no one should have to lose their dignity just because they are incarcerated.

I am committed to ensuring more transparency in the foods that we eat and the foods that my boys eat.

It removes the meaning from my study.

They wanted you to take it out because it would confuse people.

That was the scientific result?

I find this conversation extremely interesting.

I think the scientific expertise that you and your colleagues have provided our Federal agencies is really important because our policies should be based on science.

That was the scientific result? That was the science. That is fact.

Fact gathering is hard.
