Rosa DeLauro

I want to note my strong opposition to the Administration's proposed changes to Title 10.

Gun violence is a public health emergency.

I want everyone to know that we plan to hold additional hearings on the Unaccompanied Children Program...

I believe separating children from their parents is government-sponsored child abuse, and HHS is complicit.

HHS needs to return the Unaccompanied Children Program to its core mission of taking care of vulnerable children.

I believe it is our responsibility, and a moral responsibility, for us to fund at the Federal level gun violence research.

He values continuing tax breaks for the rich while imposing devastating cuts to needy children, families on Medicaid and child nutrition assistance, and seniors on Medicare.

Jay Dickey evolved his thinking as a former Congressman, member of this subcommittee, and sponsor of the Dickey Amendment, to ardently believe that research can make a difference.

My colleague Rosa DeLauro's FAMILY Act, which I and many of my colleagues have cosponsored, would build on these successful State experiences to make earned paid leave a reality across the country.

We are not going to throw good money after bad for a continued--a failed policy that this administration has engaged in.

We have to stop what is going on now, and we have to fix it, and there are models all over the country.

I have said on many occasions, and I will repeat it, from day one when I got involved in this issue, that I believe what we have looked at over the last 2 years is Government-sponsored child abuse.

I would say that tolerating hunger and food insecurity in this country is too expensive.

For American families, this law is a huge and predictable failure.

Since the President signed this bill into law, we have seen a record-setting $1 trillion in stock buybacks.

Under the Republican tax law, nearly all the tax cuts are going to the top 1 percent and corporations.

This tax law was based on the flawed notion of trickle-down economics, which has totally been discredited.

Add to our laws another structure basic to democracy and affirm our determination that when women enter the labor force they will find equality in their pay envelope.

Men and women in the same job deserve the same pay.

Today, I feel like Fannie Lou Hamer Sick and tired of being sick and tired of this ongoing inequality.

If we are going to do anything, we need to increase the allocation of--for Labor, Education, Health and Human Services.

Education, quite frankly, has been short-changed over the past eight years.

Absent a deal to raise the caps, defense, yes, will be cut $71 billion, non-defense will be cut by $55 billion.

We need parity between the defense and non-defense discretionary spending.

Let's go to $15 an hour and take the responsibility.
