The American Rescue Plan expanded the earned income tax credit and child tax credit so that more workers and families could benefit from them.

This notion of taxation without representation has always stuck with me. And I've always been amazed that people in the District of Columbia were paying taxes, but could not be represented.

I have to admit that I've heard some of the most intellectually dishonest absurdity that I've ever been privileged to hear in terms of some of the rationale that I've heard as to why there should not be statehood for the District of…

I commend her for that.

Yet the Trump administration has repeatedly undermined collective bargaining rights, weakening them unilaterally through executive action.

I think the zero tolerance policy is really one of the most horrific ideas that anyone could come up with.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman Serrano, Ranking Member Aderholt, Mr. Cartwright, and other members of the CJS Appropriations Committee for hosting this opportunity for Members to advocate for critical programs.

I am hopeful we can maintain the fiscal year 2021 funding level of $90 million for the Second Chance Act.

As Congress contemplates the role of climate change, I am hopeful that we ensure the Great Lakes are at the center of the conversation.

The stable governing bodies in developing nations all will have a stable and great access to a food and fiber supply.

Look, we expect results. No family should go through the tragedy that these families have gone through.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Guy, welcome, great to see you here in DC. I always enjoy working with you in Illinois.

I am excited to see the bipartisanship that we are going to be able to exhibit tonight.

I look forward to working with you, advocating for this project to move forward with our appropriate appropriations subcommittees and committee.

I do believe that we will have nothing but a bipartisan vote and bipartisan support to move this important legislation forward.

I will vote today to move this bill to the Floor, given that so many of my colleagues support it.

Women have made significant contributions to the American experience, and I agree with the commission that those contributions deserve to be recognized in a dedicated national museum.

I recognize the important work of the Commission and value its report. However, their work should inform us but not replace Congress's role to study the issue independently.

The underlying bill does not address the problem I just mentioned.

I think the amendment, which would simply remove this, would be a mistake and would make this piece of legislation a far poorer piece of legislation, and I would ask that the Members vote against it.

This amendment would simply include 'labor organizations' after each occurrence of 'corporation.'

This amendment strikes Subtitle B of Title I. This section would not accomplish its desired goal of eliminating foreign meddling in our elections.

The only thing that will get us through this crisis in gun violence and violence in general is we must--there must be a faith-based solution.

Gun violence is a crisis, but so is poverty a health crisis. So is economic oppression.

We must find a way to eliminate access to these automatic and semi-automatic weapons that shouldn't be in the hands of anyone except military and perhaps in some instances law enforcement.
