I oppose this bill for many reasons, but I really want to get to the heart of the problem for me. On day one, President Trump started his project to deport thousands of our neighbors, even legal immigrants, asylum seekers, and people who…
Last year, I was so proud to be one of the people to help lead an effort to create the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Since its establishment in 2023, this office has helped reduce gun violence by 20 percent and…
Never did I think that my first debate of this new Congress would be debating a Republican bill that empowers pedophiles and predators. Republicans say it is about protecting women, but that is a damned lie. This bill puts all girls, all…
The USPS is supposed to be delivering for America, and I want to make sure we are thinking about people like Richmond Heights and Carver Shores.
Throughout my life, I dealt with a lot of identity issues. I was adopted at birth. My mom came here from Cuba in the late 1960s. My dad was born in Kansas but is a musician deeply rooted in Black and Latino music. My biological mother is…
this harm, which goes back far longer than a decade, is being made worse, especially in my state, by our Governor, Ron DeSantis
I just think it is interesting to me that some of my colleagues want to assert that you are part of some grand conspiracy to undercount Republicans
I think its a very effective argument, but the thing we have to remember here is that's not the only piece of the puzzle here, right? That's not the only argument she's making. She's saying, yes, he is dangerous for Black men and all…
We are nearing 4 years since we lost a jazz great. I rise today to honor the life of one of our jazz legends and icons, Ira Sullivan. Ira was many things: a jazz great, an educator, a mentor, a father, a husband, and a friend of mine. I…
Today my heart is heavy. I am brought back to this moment in history where, on June 12, 2016, 49 angels were murdered in cold blood on the dance floor and on the floor of Pulse nightclub in my city, in my district, and in my home of…
Had I been present, I would have voted NO on Roll Call No. 227. Stated against:
We have Members of Congress and this Committee using Russian propaganda meant to undermine our democracy to undermine our President.
The claims made against the President of the United States have been so completely proven to be lies that even House Republicans now are admitting that it is time to close this case.
I stand today to honor the rich history and unwavering resilience of Black small business owners during National Entrepreneurship Week. Mr. Speaker, 17 percent of Black-owned firms are family run, providing jobs for over 160,000 Americans…
Since Republican politicians have no plan to address the real issues of this country--low wages, high prices, et cetera--their leaders at the highest levels have dipped into the fascist playbook to blame communities and to blame minorities…
Yesterday, I introduced the EPIPEN Act to cap the cost of any two-pack epinephrine auto-injector to $60 for folks with private health insurance. A few years ago, I had a life-threatening allergic reaction and had to use an expired EpiPen…
A second thing that this Committee should be hosting hearings on to figure out how we can better our national security and military readiness and preparedness.
Service members are not leaving the military because of DEI training or because a military base was renamed.
I would love to host a hearing about that instead, to see how we can handle those struggles.
This war on wokeism is not new to me, and it is a shame that Republicans on this Committee have not caught on to my Governor DeSantis' failing Presidential campaign.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion strengthens our national military. It does not work against it.
I grew up not understanding why people throughout the country didn't hold Congress in high regard, but I can just imagine the people turning on C-SPAN, turning on the news, hearing the arguments that we are hearing from the other side of…
