There are two major ways that the ERA will impact the legal status of women and all marginalized genders: through litigation and legislation.

Constitutional amendments, Madam Chair, have always served as a signpost for where society needs to go, and the ERA is no different.

If white men in this country faced the discrimination and inequality that women across the country of all genders and races faced, that you would see aggressive advocacy on the other side of the aisle in support of the Equal Rights…

I hope the committee remains continued--and I trust that we will--continued to election integrity, not promoting the big lie.

These so-called audits aren't about unearthing facts. They are about ginning up justification for repressive voting rights laws.

An audit, when run well, verifies the results of an election and assures voters that their vote has been counted.

I really think FEMA, we need to step up and we need to look at these foundations and reports that are coming out.

Yes. And it feels like that, that window of opportunity is shrinking so quickly.

Families have been torn apart and are in crisis.

I'm obviously quite familiar with the experience of the impact of natural disasters and the aftermath.

Investing in climate resilience is definitely one of them.

I am concerned that anti-abortion extremists will use social media companies, like Twitter and Facebook, to coordinate the harassment and bounty hunting of women seeking abortion.

These grotesque Texas and Florida bills, in particular, pose some of the greatest threats to abortion access in U.S. history.

Forcing women to give birth from a pregnancy conceived from rape is forcing women to repeatedly be re-victimized by their rapist, and that is outrageous and unacceptable.

Dr. Skop, your testimony that suggests that most women have plenty of time within that six-week limitation is divorced from reality, from biology, and science, and you know it.

This last slide that would show that we have domestic terrorism investigations that have more than doubled since 2017, from 1,000 to 2,700 cases.

The decision by the Biden Administration to release the National Strategy document explicitly focused on fighting domestic extremism was an unprecedented decision made in response to what was clearly an alarming surge in domestic terror…

Florida is one of the most dangerous and least prepared places to be in America right now. And there’s really no one more to blame for that reality than Governor Ron DeSantis.

The Texas legislation that we are discussing today, my friends, would create criminal penalties for local election officials who send absentee ballot applications to all registered voters.

Will you commit to conducting an updated assessment of the potential scale and impacts of an attack on electrical distribution systems and report your findings back to Congress?

Even if a cyber attack on the grid's distribution system did not impact the bulk power system, such an attack could still have significant national consequences.

Distribution utilities are not subject to any Federal cybersecurity regulations.

The electricity in many large cities across the United States is provided by a single distribution utility.

I have heard some pundits admonish that we should just all move somewhere else, and that is a very impractical and privileged opinion.

I believe we desperately require a whole-of-government approach to confront inequality and injustice, as well as the most challenging environmental problems of our time.
