Every day, more people come to the realization that climate change poses an existential threat to our way of life.

The U.S. is the wealthiest country in the world, but we rank only 13th on the quality of our infrastructure.

Investing in our infrastructure now will pay dividends down the road.

Investing in our infrastructure, reimagining and building in resilience by design will pay dividends down the road.

I encourage the committee to significantly invest in accessible and affordable public transportation.

We must also continue robust support for public transport.

The need for significant federal investment in infrastructure is undeniable.

I want to thank our witnesses for staying through the entire hearing. It is a critically important issue.

It seems to be that we should repeal the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs, reform the 2001 AUMF, and reform the War Powers Resolution.

Our goal with PPP has always been helping our businesses, in particular our small businesses, get to the other side of this pandemic.

For many businesses in our district, PPP funds have literally made the difference between being able to hang on and weather the struggles of the past year or having to close their doors oftentimes for good.

I am very grateful that this legislation includes another $7.25 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program and expands the businesses eligible for critical funding.

If we just work together, if we wear our mask, if we wash our hands, if we keep our distance, if we get the vaccines out in a structured way, and we work as one nation, not Republicans, or Democrats, city or rural, we have to work as one…

A face mask is a simple device to try to reduce the spread of this virus that is causing death and devastation across our country.

I think it's just sheer contempt... This is pure selfishness and it's not just disrespectful, it's disgraceful.

I think it's just sheer contempt. As I said in my statement, I think they look at their colleagues... and say, I don't care if you get sick, I only care about myself. This is pure selfishness and it's not just disrespectful, it's…

Using American Jews, who have long faced bigotry and very real threats of violence, is something altogether different.

I thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly), my friend, for yielding me the time. I rise today in support of the COVID PREPARE Act, H.R. 7496. As I stand here, our Nation stands at more than 7 million Americans confirmed infected…

It is never good to divide us. But that is part of the politics and part of the process here.

I thank my friend, the gentlewoman from Texas, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise in support of my bill, H.R. 5602, the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2020. White supremacists and other far-right extremists are the most…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for organizing this Special Order this evening. This morning the Capitol bid farewell for the last time to our colleague and friend, the inimitable American hero, our beloved John Lewis. In the days…

I count among my life's greatest blessings the distinction of being able to call John Lewis my colleague and my friend. Martin Luther King said the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. John Robert Lewis spent his entire life…

Our Nation is in crisis. Yesterday, the United States added more than 1,000 names to the already unbearably long list of 140,000 people killed by COVID-19. There have been nearly 4 million confirmed cases in the United States, and the CDC…
