We must expand Social Security benefits, not cut them, and I have a bill to do just that.

That is stealing. Americans pay into the program with each paycheck.

Trump and his unelected billionaire sidekick Elon Musk think they alone can decide if you get your Social Security check.

These auctioneers are not above the law.

I certainly think that it needs to be stopped.

Who are we as a country right now, when these are people who are coming here with every intention to do, to make this country better, to have a safer place.

I feel like is a tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans.

I am very concerned about income inequality in the United States, and Republicans have long claimed that cutting corporate taxes somehow is going to pay for itself.

I strongly objected to the idea of creating a fiscal commission, believing that the Members of Congress are fully capable of coming up with budget decisions.

I was otherwise detained and unable to vote today. Had I been present, I would have voted in the following manner: ``nay'' on rollcall No. 710, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 711, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 712, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 713, ``yea''…

More than 10,000 people die every year from drunk driving crashes. Drunk drivers are seven times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a sober person. You would think that the Republicans would want to do something about it…

I agree with my dear friend, John Yarmuth, that when we have a functioning Congress...

I admire the tone that has predominated in this meeting.

Thank for your attention to this important matter. We respectfully request that you provide a response within 30 days detailing actions the agency will take to strengthen the SGO.

So, right now, what we are seeing is that the Republicans are coming up, as you have heard, with a proposal of a major tax cut, it looks like it will also go to the wealthiest Americans.

And yet we see from the Republicans that they want to reverse the progress that we have seen and cut these programs, which I think is a serious mistake.

It is estimated that between the IRA and the CHIPS and Science Act that by 2030 we should see nearly half a million new jobs.

So thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, we have already seen 142,000 new jobs that have been created.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Colorado will be postponed. The Chair understands that amendment No. 2 will not be offered.

I don't know how the gentlewoman got to children in mines from an amendment that says that any kind of addition to manufacturing a gas stove, including lead, which the gentlewoman did not respond to, would be a danger. I oppose this…

I will say that there were a lot of things said that are really misinformation. No one is going to lose their gas stoves. This is not a plot to take that away. I certainly encourage everyone to vote against this so that we can protect our…

So we need more technologists. We need to hire more people who really know what they are doing and what they are looking for.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses, the people who really know what they are talking about.

We have the tools. That is the good news.

The biggest downfall, I think, is the use of this technology by scammers and fraudsters and extortionists.
