Today, we take a crucial step toward racial justice. We do it in the name of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Corey Jones, and all of those lives unjustly taken by law enforcement. We mourn and say their names on the House floor…
the Trump administration's lack of a coherent Federal response to this pandemic.
this is just unconscionable that we have left so many people without protection that they need, and so many lives have been lost as a result.
Healthcare workers and small businesses are struggling to stay alive. That is why Democrats fought to ensure hospitals and Main Street get this jolt of relief. We walled off billions in new Paycheck Protection Program funds for smaller…
As a proud Floridian, I rise to protect our workers, health professionals, small businesses, and veterans from this grave crisis we face. Senate Republicans drafted a corporate-friendly bill that failed to meaningfully support the millions…
But they are referencing people who have been advised to be tested to you and they have been turned down. So, is it you?
The public county officer called me and verified my symptoms and agreed with testing. But the national CDC would not initiate testing. They said they would not test me because if I were wearing the recommended protective equipment then I…
The state--respectfully, the State Department of Health specifically said in the epidemiological study that they did they had not--these employees had not traveled internationally.
Thousands of passengers floated around the ocean with people who had coronavirus likely on the ship they were on.

What is evident is that Mr. Trump's fake professed love of the military has been absent. It was all a scam.
why would your department steal $3.6 billion in military construction funding that was approved, asked for, and signed by the President into law
Now, Mr. Wolf, I know that the President doesn't care about our military enough to actually protect them and their families...
I think the overwhelming majority of the American people, Members of Congress, and military leadership... understand that protecting our troops... is a much more dire and more significant national security issue than putting up a lame wall.
how can you possibly justify requesting another $2 billion in congressionally appropriated funding for fiscal year 2021
What that tells me is that the Trump administration fears poor, persecuted families coming across the border more than they fear Russia, China, or any other foreign adversary.
When he leaves office in January, Trump will be nowhere close to building a wall that covers the southern border, so you have already failed.
Keeping our troops' children in run-down crowded schools... preventing a replacement for a moldy, rat-infested childcare center... the wall has already taken money from a wildfire flight simulator.
After nearly a century, the equal rights amendment is on the cusp of ratification. At America's founding, women were intentionally left out of the Constitution. As second-class citizens, we lacked the right to vote, hold most jobs, or even…
