I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 2382, the USPS Fairness Act. The United States Postal Service is an essential part of American life. It was established more than 231 years ago…

I was just shocked that you did not know about the reports about the content of your vaping products.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to me. I rise to agree with my colleagues that we are facing a crisis. The number of overdoses and deaths related to fentanyl has skyrocketed over the last few years; however, the emergency scheduling…

I certainly hope that the company will take this seriously, even as it looks at imports that it ought to look at the question of exports and the concerns that other countries have with products that are made by Johnson & Johnson.

And I would--you could also talk to the farmers. We were over a month late getting into the field in Illinois. The economic impacts are so obvious.

I also want to thank Nancy Perry from the ASPCA for being here to testify in favor of this legislation.

I think it is really important that we take action and that the FDA finally enter the picture to protect our food supply and that of what we are exporting.

I am really shocked that--for you say though that it may not show up in the next decade because it is showing up right now.

what this legislation does, what the SAFE Act would do would explicitly ban consumption of horse meat in the United States and the import and export of horses and equine parts.

Given our current economic conditions of persistently low interest rates and low inflation rates, would you agree that it is sound fiscal policy for the government to invest in a clean economy now?

We are concerned about counterfeit drugs coming into, and medical devices coming into the United States, but I think it is worth pointing out that other countries are afraid of importing a Johnson & Johnson product that may contain--that…

So I want to talk not just about nursing homes or whatever for horses, but I want to talk about the dangers of allowing prohibited ingredients to be in the horse meat that is still not prohibited for eating in the United States of America.

Climate change, I see, is the greatest challenge facing humanity today.

Last year, 38 horses died at Santa Anita, at Santa Anita Park alone.

Frankly, one death is too many, but the inexcusable fact is that we can do more to prevent these deaths.

There is an urgent and desperate need for this legislation.

I thank Chairman Scott for yielding to me, and I rise in strong support of H.R. 1230, the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act. This month, House Democrats are taking historic action to fight for our older Americans across…

I thank Congresswoman Tlaib for leading this conversation today. I am seeing some of my colleagues on the floor today who remember the story that I want to tell. This was the fall of 2002, and there was a vigorous debate going on whether…

Thousands of experts are warning that climate change could make large parts of the earth uninhabitable.

So we would have to get marijuana off the Controlled Substances Act--out of it in order to do the research that we absolutely need to do on what is being sold right now, and millions and millions of dollars being spent on it, and many…

I did want to say about that piece of legislation, H.R. 3797, that I do have a concern that DOJ would have the ability to deny medical marijuana licenses based on even minor past drug convictions, and I hope that we can also remedy that.

I am a proud original cosponsor of Representative Jeffries' Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act and a cosponsor of Representative Nadler's MORE Act.

Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity today.

However, research at Northwestern University, which is in my district and is a leading research institution, have no way of accessing the cannabis that is sold in these dispensaries.

It would be a terrible mistake to go with just this overall data and not look at the particular communities.
