It seems to me that what we've seen is a scrubbing of any mentions of climate change.

I have been very troubled by what we've seen in regard to what the President said when he was running for office.

If we want to stop people coming from places where they can't farm any more to the United States, we better do something about this.

It is clear that we have to reauthorize the National Health Service Corps and the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Program for at least 5 years, if not longer.

This status quo is unacceptable for our growing aging population, for our children, and for all vulnerable communities in our country.

I just can't thank you enough, Miles and Carol, who have made their life's mission to prevent this tragedy that you have suffered so much.

I just want to go on record as saying the two things that you said, a text message or just going to the fob, I think is absolutely not sufficient.

Last year the SELF DRIVE Act, which Chair Schakowsky and Congressman Latta both introduced, passed out of this committee and the House unanimously.

The perfect must not be the enemy of the great.

I want to assure you that we will be working in a bipartisan way with the autonomous vehicles but also the safety protection bills.

Last year, finally, rear backup cameras became standard in new vehicles; an issue that I championed for a long time before it actually became the law and was enforced.

It is time for Congress to take decisive action to keep families safe, and we all have a track record--and we do have a track record of success.

I am eager to reintroduce hot cars--the HOT CARS Act with Congressman Ryan and also Congressman King of New York.

We have a duty, however, to do everything we can to ensure that parents don't lose a child when we can prevent that.

Before the Affordable Care Act came in and Medicaid expansion came in, people were actually dying.

I have been for Medicare for All since many of you have been born.

I mean, we have, before the Affordable Care Act, being a woman was a preexisting condition.

A lot of people. So people are waiting five weeks, five months, or whatever he said about Canada.

I am for improving it. I am for all the plans, because what we have now is not working.

We are the only industrialized country where actually our maternal mortality has gone up instead of down.

The idea of Medicare for All is really popular out there. It polls really well.

Social Security, oh my, that is definitely socialism, according to my Republican colleagues.

All this talk about socialism. That is exactly what we heard when Medicare was suggested.

What Americans want is a choice of doctor.

I think, at the very least, consumers deserve transparency. But I also want to agree with you, it has to be with teeth.
