You cannot have an economy that works for working families without a strong child care system, and right now, our child care system is just plain broken.

The Public Record
The recent proposal that revived Trump's border wall, closed our doors on asylum seekers, and rewrote immigration laws is not going to go anywhere.
the system is broken, and critically we are terribly underfunded and under-resourced, and this supplemental gets to that latter point.
If we do not act soon, the child care crisis is going to keep getting worse, and it will hurt our economy in the process.
to hold Ukraine hostage to unlocking that very difficult knot is dangerous for us and the world.
I think it is important that we be absolutely clear the nature of this brutal terrorist attack.
I think the reason why many of us are so worried about splitting Ukraine aid and Israel aid is because there is an urgency.
There is a moral imperative to reduce civilian casualties, but there is also a strategic imperative.
We have to bear the burden of doing everything we possibly can to ensure that civilians are not harmed and to care for those who need our help.
The supplemental also requests $44.4 billion to help Ukraine continue to defend itself against Russia's ongoing aggression.
