I do honestly have to say that I think the biggest boost that we saw in the confidence in our unions has come through recently coming through COVID.

There is no reason why our employers and unions cannot work together to create opportunities that work better for all of our businesses and for the American workers.

This misguided targeting of labor unions over the past few decades continues to have a very detrimental impact on our workforce system.

We are only making our workforce problems worse by attacking and trying to weaken these organizations who have filled in the gap continuously.

We have a right to speak our minds. We have a right to share our views and be ourselves.

As a woman, a woman of color who's lost her son to murder, I ask God every single day, are we losing our humanity?

Isn't it true that we don't need yet another study but, rather, an urgent action to replace solitary with proven alternative forms of separation?

Last Congress, Ranking Member Jackson Lee... convened two hearings on the oversight of BOP with a focus on the need to implement the First Step Act.

I have introduced the Federal Prison Oversight Act, which I'm sure you are aware of, to increase accountability and transparency across our prison system.

We as Members of Congress have a duty to the inmates that are housed in our BOP's facilities, the communities that they will eventually return to, and the nearly 40,000 employees in 122 BOP institutions across the country.

It's so important we really take action to increase the value of higher education, even further and to ensure that taxpayers are getting the quality return on their investment.

90 percent of fentanyl from Mexico seized in the United States was discovered at legal entry points or interior vehicle checkpoints.

It is mostly Americans crossing the border with fentanyl.

the mission of DHS is somewhat ubiquitous; be it at airports or disaster sites.

Isn't the lesson learned here that antitrust agencies should trust vigorous competition and antitrust enforcement to deliver innovation and better services?

My bill, the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, which was passed by the House last Congress, would provide Americans in all States access to these truly lifesaving measures.

Extreme risk protection orders play an important role in law enforcement's response to preventing mass shootings from happening.

There are over 122,000 adults in my district alone, Georgia 7th, that qualify for some form of student debt forgiveness under the President's plan.

A college degree or credential is still the surest path to economic security, but it is clear that relying so heavily just on a higher education system that remains pay to play is not what is best for our students, or for our country.

While I firmly believe that every student should be able to go to college if they want to, the fact of the matter is that some families are just not able to afford to send their children to college because of the cost, a direct result of…

Thank you, Special Counsel Durham, for your time today.

I am so excited to finally see a budget that truly puts working families, and their healthcare needs first.

It is so important that we provide this agency with the funding that they need to handle this increase.
