During today's hearing, Republicans on this Committee are attempting to paint the American Federation of Teachers as a destructive specialist interest group out to harm students.

If your child were to die before the age of 18, the most likely reason is because they were shot to death.

This is one of the greatest threats to kids in schools.

Five hundred and forty-nine children and teens have already been lost to gun violence this year alone.

Some of us fight against mass incarceration, unjust prison conditions, and a lack of re-entry resources on behalf of our loved ones, friends, and constituents behind Bars.

For my home State of Florida, that's a reality and very real. You know, my constituents, my family, my friends now face deadly storms year after year, and their lives could depend on Congress having the vision to fund the National Science…

these storms don't care if you're Democrat or Republican, and so for me, this should not be a political issue but one about saving lives and thinking about our most vulnerable populations no matter where they're at.

Back to that proverb, 'Where there's no vision, the people perish,' you know, I think part of my job when I think about is how do we see the world through the eyes of the most vulnerable?

If Republicans gave a damn about America's children, they would pass legislation to end gun violence to keep students safe.

In your March letter to the Appropriations Committee, you said that a 22 percent cut in funding would lead to the loss of 4,600 grant awards and the lost knowledge of 66,000 people pursuing STEM.

If you care about students, if you care about schools, fight for a world where students are not dying in a pool of their own blood in the classrooms that they are supposed to be learning in.

I commend the Biden Administration for making historic improvements over the past two years to get agencies off of this list.

I am here today because I am ecstatic that we have a President who has chosen to lead with love and compassion when it comes to other humans in this country. I thank President Biden for having the heart and courage to do what his…

This morning I called a 12-year-old in my district who is worried about their future as a nonbinary kid in this country. They should be playing and learning, and not writing to their Congress Member, desperate to not lose their right to…

we need more funding for our IG offices to ensure that this money is being spent correctly and efficiently

We're a nation recovering from a pandemic, facing threats abroad, and managing an existential climate crisis.

Thank you so much, Mr. Martin. Yes, go NASA.

Such big problems require big solutions and solutions that can't just be left up to the States.

Cybersecurity also means America working toward technological independence.

One child is too many, and as someone who comes from an immigrant family, as someone who believes that our policy should be informed by love and compassion, this is something that I hope the Administration will work on to ensure it is not…

we have a party that wants to take this problem, that is a problem that needs to be fixed, using it for political points rather than actually wanting to fix the problem.

I have to just call out the hypocrisy right now.

One section of this bill is going to codify the Trump Administration mandate that ORR share information about sponsors' home with ICE so they can target those sponsors with arrest and threats of deportation.

The last part of NOAA's mission statement, to conserve our marine ecosystems, has never been more important.

I am here today because I, like the rest of our Nation, am outraged about what we have seen happen in Tennessee. Six innocent people died as a result of senseless gun violence in Nashville, a school shooting where we lost children that…
