This bill would require them to cut health programs by at least 22 percent, possibly closer to 30 percent or more.

Thank you to Mr. Hoyer.

The maternal mortality rate in this Nation, especially among black and brown women, is unacceptable and, frankly, appalling.

It is not speculation. There appears to be a pattern of looking at serious cuts overall.

What we can tell you is that it would lead to some 100,000 slots for childcare being eliminated from our funding opportunity.

Childcare, I will tell you parents are not going back to work, what that does to the economy.

I couldn't be more pleased with the 2024 budget request for HHS.

The cuts are unrealistic, unsustainable, and unacceptable. They threaten so much of the progress we have made in recent years.

The numbers are the President is requesting $600,000,000,000 for childcare. That is a lot of money.

I am worried about House Republicans' reported proposal to cap the domestic spending for the 2024 budget at the 2022 level.

For the past year, Russia has waged an egregious, unprovoked war against the Ukrainian people, and during this time we have become witness to one of the worst humanitarian crises the world has seen in generations.

As the President and Vice President have stated, Russia is committing crimes against humanity.

Despite this unimaginable anguish and destruction, the resolve of the Ukrainian people is strong.

The Biden Administration has proposed to fund the NIH at $51 billion in 2022, which is a good start, but not nearly enough.

This is precisely the right time to be bold and go bigger.

We must dramatically increase the NIH's budget, so that a lack of funding is not the reason why patients go untreated and diseases remain a threat to public health.

It is shocking -- it is shocking maybe not surprising but shocking that anyone could vote against this legislation and the number of people, the Republicans who voted in the House last night against the bill that I introduced as equally as…

I think the Defense Production Act can have, you know, a serious effect on the production of this product.

We have to find out what happened and those who are engaged and involved in this need to be held accountable.

What is clear here is that we are looking at, we have people are talking about the supply issue. This is supply and it’s about safety. And they don’t have -- they’re not exclusive. We don’t have to select one or the other.

Why didn’t they take action? The information was there. They had -- they were had their own suspicions, as been verified this evening in this account from Bloomberg, that they had their suspicions in September.

We have really lifted over 3 million youngsters out of poverty.

I would like to work with you all on this. Because this is just one example.

the monthly basis has been a godsend to people. No one pays their bills on a yearly basis.

I have never seen a federal program that has resulted in so much success in such a short period of time.
