The Social Security Expansion Act will protect the national treasure that is Social Security by extending the trust fund's solvency for 75 years.

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

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

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

I certainly think that it needs to be stopped.

These auctioneers are not above the law.

I thank Congressman Ivey for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, this is so important, yet we should be ashamed of the way the Trump administration has been absolutely attacking our Federal workers, the people who go to work every single day to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding to me for the privilege of saying a few words about Bill Pascrell. I love Bill Pascrell. I say that in the present tense because every time I think of him he makes me smile, not because he was a funny…

Let me thank my colleague, Congresswoman Hayes, for bringing us together today to talk about something so important. We do live in the richest country in the world at the richest moment in history, and the very idea that we would tolerate…

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 am thankful for the opportunity to talk about this because Americans are very worried about how their data is being used. They want to know who is collecting it, where it is going, and how it is being used. For far too long, people's…

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 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 feel like is a tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans.

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''…

It is known that the transportation sector is responsible for the single largest greenhouse gas emissions. I choose not to contribute to that. I am the proud owner of a Chevy Volt, which is a very affordable, all electric vehicle--not one…

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.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 333 and ``nay'' on rollcall No. 334. ____________________

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.

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.

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.

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