There is a bill that bans any classroom discussion on gender identity, sexual orientation, in grades K through 3.

What we are seeing is not just proliferation of guns. We are seeing a proliferation of hate.

The reality of the situation is we need immigration reform in the United States of America.

I think at this particular moment, I wish it was a Federal program so we could actually do some real improvement there.

If we ban abortions across this country, which it looks like we are about to in 26 States, there is not going to be an equitable economy for women if they are not allowed to make their own decisions about their bodies, their lives, and…

I have made a request--actually, myself and a number of members--because this is an appropriations committee, a number of requests to the committee to take a look at some of the falling shortfalls.

The $50,000,000,000 figure is the tip of the iceberg, folks, right? It is the tip of the iceberg because it doesn't even include what Medicaid, for example, is going to spend if someone goes into a nursing home or into assisted living…

I have probably there is 350,000 seniors who just live in my county that I represent, and one of them is very special to me. It is my 96-year-old mother.

I think we will be missing a lot.

The Hyde Amendment is not wise. I think it is unjust and cruel, and I believe it takes away the freedom from people to make the most personal decisions that they can have, and it hurts the people who have the least amount of resources.

Can the Federal Government do anything to intervene against this craziness, this horrible effort by the State of Florida to basically block teachers from telling the truth.

I do not understand how--I mean, it seems to me that, under Florida law now, children are not going to be able to be taught about slavery.

I want to talk to you about the WOKE bill.

The Governor of Florida has decided to be the leader in the cultural war of extremism in our country.

So this year marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX. Wow, that is unbelievable.

Can you give us a progress report on that?

It would have been nice if there had been some intervention because it may have saved so many lives.

I don't want rant and rave all day about my horrifying and embarrassing law in Florida, the 'Don't Say Gay.'

But the fact of the matter is I just looked this up. The average child spends between 3 to 6 hours a day in school, depending upon the age.

We are in a race with Texas for the craziest governor in legislature, in my opinion.

Your answer to me on enforcing the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive coverage, it really wasn't the best answer.

I thank Representative Speier. I will tell you what, it is really hard to follow those remarks. I think all of us--all Americans--really all people around the world who have been following the brutality of Putin's war, our hearts are…

This Representative is going to go down in history as one of the most articulate fighters for justice we have ever seen. I give her a special congratulations for all the work she did on the Violence Against Women Act that was celebrated…

He’s spent more time playing a crazy game of chicken with other right-wing governors vying to be president, rather than keeping Floridians alive.

Sadly, as we are speaking here today, there is a mass shooting happening right now in California, in San Jose.
