We need regulatory agencies because they are an invaluable source of knowledge and information gained from experts.

Working families that have done everything right, and they have contributed to their pensions for years, they deserve the peace of mind that what they have worked so hard for is safe.

According to them, without Federal assistance, there would have been 1.3 million Americans who would have seen their retirement benefits cut by as much as 98 percent within the next few years.

The knowledge possessed by regulatory agencies provides us with a cleaner environment, safe food, and a growing economy.

If this was just about union members, as some have suggested, who let me be clear, also deserve our support, and should not be wrongly vilified the way that they have been before this Committee time and time again, then why did the United…

I am glad to be here today to discuss one of congressional Democrats' and President Biden's greatest achievements, saving the pensions, and the hardworking earned retirements of over a million working families in this country.

Our agencies were structured like this for a reason.

I think we can all agree that no student in this country should be in the situation where they attend class, or practice while not knowing where their next nutritious meal is going to come from.

Student-athletes must be treated with dignity and respect, and I think that is what we are here to all talk about today.

the American people deserve, as we've always been saying all along here, that we deserve a leader who will not put themselves above the law, but will work with law enforcement and hold themselves accountable.

This is textbook antisemitism, and it simply cannot be allowed to continue unchallenged, or at our universities.

Instead of dismantling these programs, we should commit ourselves to improving them...

The fact of the matter is that black Americans and students of color have historically been denied access to universities...

The chance of dying at the hands of an abuser doubles when a gun is in the house.

I am committed to, like many of my colleagues, trying to make sure that we are passing policy that protects and supports all human life.

Empowering women includes, also, protecting women. Protecting women means providing them the necessary tools to make them safe.

I do want to say that abusers should not have access to firearms, plain and simple.

I encourage the Oversight Committee to consider the Federal Prison Oversight Act, which, I might add, has no effect on direct spending or revenues.

The Federal Prison Oversight is a bipartisan and bicameral bill with just one goal in mind: increasing transparency and accountability across our Federal prison system.

I urge the Committee to seriously consider implementing some guidelines for situations like Poplarville.

Active expressions of antisemitism have no place in our society, and definitely not on any college campus or institution here in the United States.

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

It is up to all of us to learn more and stand in solidarity against hate in our daily lives.

Unity in the face of intimidation is how we are effectively going to resist hate in all of its forms.

We must show that we will not be intimidated, that we will not falter when our neighbors need us the most.
