I want to congratulate you on maintaining our jurisdiction.

I really look forward to continuing to do this.

I have a number of colleagues who study these viruses, these very viruses that may cause the next pandemic, who are receiving threats on their lives because of this misinformation.

The current discussion on the origin of COVID-19 ushered in, and I quote, 'ill-informed condemnation of virology.'

I'm just concerned that, in the conversations that are around the potential risks of certain research, that it has created--that there's been these myths around virologists and their research.

Americans have been subsidizing the fossil fuel industry to the tune, even today, of billions of dollars.

One of the things that was in the bills that we passed would be an investment in a historic $15 billion for the removal of lead service lines.

This is an existential issue right now dealing with the climate, and I am so happy that we are going to be addressing that.

I think it is really going to make a difference. It is going to make a difference to communities all over this country.

Born alive has nothing to do with abortion. Providers are already required, by law, to provide appropriate medical care. Infanticide is murder. What we heard earlier is just not true. It is a lie that should not be repeated. As our…

I am against all forms of violence, including violence against any one of the majority of Americans who support abortion rights. The statistics are absolutely clear. Since 1977, there have been 11 murders, 42 bombings, 196 arsons, 491…

I just want to point out that this has nothing to do with stifling the rights of companies to communicate. It does prevent them from harassing workers and preventing them from doing what they need to do. I just want to point out that there…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I will share a conversation that I had with Anna Kate, who is a constituent of mine in my district. She called my office absolutely distraught; this was late in the day of the shooting. She…

The Department of Defense apparently found that if you just use-- that there is a way to produce the same thing for $300 instead of $10,000, it seems it might be worth checking out, whether some of these commercial things are worth it.

The Pentagon and the American taxpayers, I think, are really getting ripped off by many of these contracts.

We shouldn't be paying these exorbitant prices.

So we have to care for the caregivers, both the home caregivers, the family caregivers, and the people who work there too.

We need to do better.

I am the Chair of the Task Force on Aging and Families, and this has been a priority for me.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, Americans pay 10 times as much for insulin as do any other consumers in countries around the world. The exact same drug. You know, we actually have the names of people who have died…

The agency has really been starved of resources and has lost significant staff capacity over the years.

The rich have been getting richer and the poor have been getting poorer, not by accident but by policy.

The President believes in building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up.

Let us find other venues.
