If we are to build a better Texas and a better America, we have got to build a better future for women across the country.

It is essential that our legislation provide that local governments can step forward.

I take no back seat to that, nor do I have any reason to take any suggestion that my Democratic colleagues do not stand against discrimination in any form.

As Congressman Raskin said, 'they came, they beat, they attacked, they called names, and they made a mockery of democracy.'

I am disappointed that CRT has been politicized to attack people who simply want to ensure that our children have an opportunity to be engaged in diversity.

I hope that the more we get to understand each other, even starting in early education, that we are a better nation, we are unified, and that we become the beloved community.

This deliberately creates an atmosphere of fear and suspicion that stops women from seeking help.

Your Department has rightly stepped in to secure our next election and Congress owes you a voting rights restoration act.

Nobody has a right to threaten his or her fellow citizens with violence.

We cannot become a country where only some people in some States enjoy their constitutional rights.

Do you think this is the kind of condition, do you think this is the kind of reflection of the changing demographics in our States that require us to Act and Act swiftly on the Voting Rights Act?

We must Act to protect the vote, we must Act to expand the vote, and we must Act to make sure that our children have the benefit of the right to vote.

I think there is a change of the demographics in Texas when we have 84 percent of the people of color that makes up the population of 29 million people, and only 16 percent of the people who has been controlling feel rather threatened at…

Let me quickly raise the point of the big lie and the continuous representation of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle of fraud in the 2020 election where 150 million people voted.

To the extent that our Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Joyce Beatty, was arrested, some of us will intend to do such in the coming weeks, because John Lewis did believe in nonviolent civil disobedience, and we must act.

This law is meant to protect against race discrimination.

Donald Trump's determination to repeat the abuses of President Nixon was carried out in his contempt for the invaluable service to democracy performed by a free and independent press.

his conduct reflects and reveals a person whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant and shows he is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

I implore you to embody our nation's sacred promise of justice for all.

If you care about racial justice and racial healing, I am asking you to do two simple things: Support reparations for the survivors and descendants of the Tulsa Race Massacre and bring reparations bill H.R. 40 to an immediate vote, and…

I know most of you believe in justice. All we are asking for in Tulsa, and Black communities across the United States, is for repair, respect, and restitution.

The nation's government cannot sit on the sidelines as Mother Randle, Mother Fletcher, Uncle Red spend their twilight years fighting for justice 100 years after the massacre.

With this Democratic majority, though, we now have the power to level the playing field by striking down racist laws.

I support $38 million for the Pollinator Focuses Research. The significant decline in pollinated populations, most notably that of commercial honey bees, is a national concern.

I support $100 million for the TEFAP storage and distribution, which will help food banks and emergency feeding agencies.
