Besides the District of Columbia, we have been to South Carolina. We have been to a couple of places in Los Angeles as well as Oakland to deal with the issue of AIDS. Also, of course, in my town of Chicago, we have had healthcare seminars…

Actually, of the top 10 diseases African Americans die from, African Americans die more from 8 out of the top 10. So this new bill is not going to send us in a better direction, and we don't want to keep those statistics. We want to do…

I hope this is the first of many hearings on Russia.

It seems that the closer we get to tying the President to Russia, the more erratic, illogical, and defensive he becomes.

I think some may see troubling parallels between the Kremlin's media distrust and what we are seeing from the current Trump administration.

It is my hope also, as we have heard, that this committee will take the initiative and mark up the SECURE Our Democracy Act and Protect Our Democracy Act.

Last week I hosted a dozen of constituent events in my district. At every turn, families asked the same question: When will Congress investigate the President's involvement with Russia? I have received many calls and e-mails about Russia…

Lifting the embargo would open up a new market for American companies and the potential to add $366 million annually in U.S. exports.

In the wake of troubling events in the Trump White House, I have one simple question: Where is the hearing? In less than a month, we have watched the credibility and security of our democracy endangered by a descent into scandal, distrust…

I do believe that to ensure the Postal Service's long-time viability that we in Congress have to do everything we can to provide the agency more authority and flexibility to find ways to cut costs and increase revenue.

Last month, as I mentioned, Chicago suffered just as many gun shootings as the year before, and 2016 was a record-setting month itself. I have come to the floor countless times to draw attention to this epidemic. Last week, President Trump…

Our international alliances are vital to U.S. security. Allies like Australia have never failed to answer the U.S.'s call for help. For decades, Australia and the U.S. have cooperated on everything from military and intelligence to…

But it is clear that politics have prevented this committee from being willing or able to do the necessary objective and nonpartisan oversight on the Russian attack.

In the face of this report from our top intelligence agencies, we have done zero oversight into this issue.

We are holding a hearing about hacking by a sophisticated actor, likely a State actor for a hack that occurred more than a year ago.

I thank Congressman Veasey and Congresswoman Plaskett for holding tonight's CBC Special Order hour. With so much going on in our Nation right now, it is important that all Americans take seriously our responsibility to be guardians of our…

``No State shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any…

I have spoken on this floor many times about gun violence. This summer, many of us took to the House floor and shut this Chamber down for 26 hours, demanding that Congress do something to stop gun deaths. We almost lost a colleague, Gabby…

I thank Congresswoman Beatty and Congressman Jeffries because they have held it down for a long time now and have made us proud to be members of the Congressional Black Caucus because of how they present themselves in the Special Order…

Our Nation owes our veterans a debt of gratitude for putting their lives on the line, but too often, all we do is pay lip service to our military heroes. This past weekend, I hosted a veterans housing symposium, where I connected veterans…

On July 14, I stood in this very spot to express my disappointment that my Republican colleagues and leadership showed both cowardice and callousness by failing to call up a single commonsense gun violence prevention measure before leaving…

I think that we need to move forward with an arms embargo now and stop as much bloodshed and killing as we can.

I just don't believe that any of this stuff is going to work anymore. I don't think that the security force is going to work.

Just do it. Just use the United States as the leader of the free world and do it and other people will follow.

I'd like to thank Chairman Hurd and Chairman DeSantis for calling this hearing so that the committee and the American people can get a better understanding of when a cyber attack should be considered an act of war and how the United States…
