Collective bargaining is good for workers. It raises wages, increases benefits, and makes workplaces safer.

We cannot be rolling back these well-fought, important pay increases as part of this larger debate.

I believe in putting people over politics.

I am about putting people over politics. And I think that CISA's value and impact for our local communities is unmatched, and would certainly not support this type of devastating cut.

My Resilience Act would target CISA's resources through outreach and pilot programs to rural and suburban communities that don't have the resources to defend against every cyber and physical threat.

We have asked for radical transparency so that we understand that consumers--so the burden isn't placed on them.

We have normalized a world where technology comes to us inherently unsafe.

We have to change the incentives. Right now, the incentives are all about speed to market and competing on features and cost reduction.

I have serious concerns, particularly given some of the capabilities that China has, like TikTok, to be able to use their data, the data that they have collected from us, capabilities, to be able to influence the American public.

Over the past several elections, we have seen foreign adversaries, like Russia and Iran, deploy more sophisticated and brazen campaigns in attempts to influence and interfere with our elections.

First, I want to talk about election security, which is a critical pillar of our national security.

No one should have fear of mass shooting at work. Hard stop. No one should fear a loaded gun being on a plane with them either.

We absolutely have to get there. Take the burden off small businesses, take the burden off consumers, and push it on those most capable of bearing it.

If breastfeeding equipment is already an eligible expense, under CNA, FEMA needs to proactively communicate that to families.

I introduced the Demand Act to make breast pumps and other lactation supplies explicitly eligible for FEMA's financial assistance.

This is another of the dozens of mass shootings that happen in this country ever year because weapons of war are unconscionably easy to access.

I don't see how in the face of this action having been taken and then exploited and really just so in a horrifying way for us to not heed the recommendation of an inspector general's, you know, direct report describing the need for a…

The Trump administration's family separation policy was a moral stain on our country's immigration history.

It is just unacceptable to say, oop, this is just how it is.

I witnessed this firsthand when I visited the border in 2019, and I saw medical records being kept with pen and paper, if at all.

I want to ask you about electronic health records. As a nurse, I have seen firsthand how important good record keeping is for good patient care.

Mr. Secretary, you previously stated that domestic violent extremism is the number one terrorist threat facing our country.

It is a symptom of long-term policy failures to prioritize the nutrition needs of infants.

We need an all hands on deck response until every family has access to the same formula they need.
