66 years ago this week, Emmett Till was brutally lynched by two white supremacists. When his body was returned to his mother, Mamie Till, in Chicago, she held an open casket funeral because, in her words: ``I wanted the world to see what…

First, I want to thank staff on both sides for putting this together. On the majority side: Laura, Marybeth, Elliot, Aalok, Parker, and Matt. On the minority side, John Martens; and from my own staff, Charlie and Max. I do want to thank…

It is time to discuss the steps we must take to end child labor in the cocoa and chocolate industry. This issue was brought to my attention by the students at Bell Elementary School in Chicago. Through the guidance of their teacher, Mr…

You don't begin by denying that it happened, as many have on their side of the aisle; you actually support a defense supplemental, a security supplemental, and you support a commission.

I believe it is absolutely vital that THUD and T&I work together to ensure that America's infrastructure is a driver of economic growth.

Studies have shown that for every dollar spent on pre-disaster mitigation, the Federal government saves seven dollars or more in future damages.

I get it now. This is all about protecting women. This intolerance is the Republicans' effort to show us how much they want to protect the rights of women. They want us to believe that protecting LGBTQ Americans somehow hurts women and…

I am thrilled that President Biden has chosen Ms. Young for this role. He could not have made a better choice.
