Debbie Wasserman Schultz

It is a senseless attack. It is absolutely heartbreaking, but it isn't anything new.

This is not about enhancing parental authorities. It is a direct attack on the LGBTQ+ community that will adversely affect the health and well-being of thousands of Florida students.

It is not enough to just describe Ron DeSantis as a culture warrior. We should call him what he is, a tyrant who is using his position and power to install repressive and hateful policies in Florida.

Governor DeSantis is bringing a brand of authoritarianism to Florida that Putin, Maduro, or Castro would applaud.

Thank you so much, Congresswoman Sherrill. And in particular, thank you for your service to our country.

You already have really restrictive policies, and in states where access to abortion care might be completely eliminated, obviously it would be really difficult and impact retention because the percentage of female troops that end up…

If the opinion goes unchanged in its final form, there will be massive ramifications for women, including those in the armed services.

If you have individuals--too many individuals that don't understand that sexual assault is unacceptable, and that they don't have the right to do whatever they want with another--with a woman. Then you've got a culture problem.

And military families are not exempt from the challenges that face other American families, and I am eager to hear from you about how we can address the infant formula shortage issue for service members and their families.

But it is not working. You might be bringing all--if you are bringing all your expertise, then you have the wrong expertise.

There shouldn't be predators that are lurking to assault a fellow, you know, soldier in the Army.

I was really gratified to see that the Air Force recently informed its servicemembers that it will support their families with medical and legal help if they are affected by dozens of new bigoted State laws restricting LGBTQ rights.

As the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz and myself you know that we are committed to do all that we can to help improve the quality of life for our service members and their families.

But every single year the president's request seeks to increase overall defense spending, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, but I would say for some reason, but I really kind of know what you are likely to respond, military…

Your care and attention to our Marines and our families is not lost on me.

I am grateful to the Congress for their continued strong support to ensure sailors are equipped to defend the nation.

A 39-percent cut is the action.

I mean, there are words and actions, and I am a show-me person, not a tell-me person.

The Department of the Army is facing the most dramatic cuts of all the services.

I find it unacceptable that the annual budget request is yet again looking to reduce spending compared to last year's enacted funding levels.

I have spoken with the Secretary and was really pleased to see the focus on oncology, cancer treatment, and research, including $81 million within the research program.

We have probably the most unified subcommittee where we work really closely together.

I do not know anyone who has been a more vocal and passionate advocate for Fort Bliss.

Because your answers are really just not acceptable.

Then you're recruiting the wrong people, and not screening--if you're saying that by individual you mean that you've got people who don't understand that are marines, that they can't just do whatever they want to a woman.
