Republicans' refusal to put the American people first and faithfully negotiate leaves every parent and mom-and-pop shop less secure. Let's get serious about governing. I say to my Republican colleagues: It is time to show up for work and…
I proudly rise to support the largest investment in America's working families, a human safety net, and the protection of the planet since FDR's New Deal. To families facing high healthcare or childcare costs or struggling to find…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise to urge the censure and the removal from committees of Mr. Gosar for portraying the murder of a fellow colleague and promoting violence against immigrants. We know that promoting…
With suicide rates among Active military and veteran communities at crisis levels, we'll continue to be devoted to funding programs and services that can intervene and save lives.
One of our top priorities as chair has been strengthening mental healthcare for our country's veterans and their families.
Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure threaten essential services that Americans count on every day.
Cyber-attacks on our critical infrastructure pose a serious risk to--and I quote--'the American way of life.'

The Chamber is continuing and expanding its efforts to defeat the reconciliation bill and opposes efforts to link the infrastructure bill to the reconciliation bill.
Mr. Woods, you can say what you want about climate change, but words matter. Actions matter more.
Except you are opposing the reduction policies on methane emissions in the Build Back Better Act.
There are two major ways that the ERA will impact the legal status of women and all marginalized genders: through litigation and legislation.
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…
It is clear that without the added protections of the ERA, we can't be certain that transphobic laws like this will be repealed by our court system.
Constitutional amendments, Madam Chair, have always served as a signpost for where society needs to go, and the ERA is no different.
And certainly increasing. Thank you. And I want to drill down and explore how the ERA could affect a specific legal claim in my home state of Florida.
