It is so important to my home State, where we are home to 25 percent of the lead water lines in the entire Nation.

I want to again express my appreciation for Chairman Carper, for his commitment to work with me as we move through the floor to integrate and refine provisions, to strengthen programs that help support full lead service line replacement in…

I have to say, thank you first and foremost, Mr. Chairman, to you, and also to Senator Cardin for allowing me to lead this bill.

Public officials must step up and say this is not acceptable, because when you have Members of Congress who say that this is acceptable, then you are just allowing the hate speech to continue.

Words matter, and I am deeply disappointed in these officials for what they're doing.

I do see it as a hate crime, and this is part of the issue is that hate crimes against Asian-Americans are severely underrepresented.

I'm so glad that President Biden did what he could to try to reset the tone and to acknowledge that.

What are you going to do, Mr. President, and all elected officials to protect the Asian-American community?

Not only should this racist be fired, we need an independent investigation to find out if his racism influences his performance on the job to protect and serve all of Cherokee County. Action must be taken. The only way we root out racism…

We absolutely need to look at any type of white supremacists that are still members of the military, and how they’re being targeted for recruitment by white supremacist groups, and we need to weed this out.

Well, I`m flabbergasted that there would be those no votes. But unfortunately, in this day and age, I`m not surprised. It`s sickening.

Blaming the AAPI community for a public health crisis is racist and wrong.

I hope that all Americans will speak up against such hatred towards their neighbors.

There is nothing, nothing we can say today that will piece back together the shattered lives of the victims' loved ones.

Families have had rocks thrown at them. Nurses have been spit on.

I urge the Small Business Administration to simplify this process, because so many of my businesses are finding the process extremely onerous.

As President Biden said last week, we are emerging from a dark winter to a hopeful spring and summer, but we have to keep our foot on the gas and take nothing for granted.

Thank you, Georgia. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hickenlooper). The majority leader. ____________________

My constituents in Illinois were betrayed, but remain optimistic that the Biden administration will be a staunch champion of our farmers and of American biofuels.

I will be introducing the comprehensive Environmental Justice for All Act.

President Biden has not been shy that agriculture will have a seat at the table as we tackle climate.

We're still seeing the scars of insurrectionists, and yet my Republican colleagues seem to have glossed over that. We just lost another Capitol Police officer who committed suicide just recently. Now we've lost three lives, in terms of the…

And it is absolutely shameful that Kevin McCarthy did this. But unfortunately, he's not the only one, you know, in in both the Senate and the House, you have all of these Republicans are choosing to stand with Trump, as opposed to choosing…

He is putting his own personal ambitions above the wellbeing of our nation.

It boggles the mind. I mean, these are the same people who were hiding, and who were, you know, in the same safe rooms that we were in that I was in, while the Capitol was under attack.
