Thank you, and I yield back.

We're talking about racially insensitive comments, racist comments coming from the president of the United States as opposed to how do we keep government running past the 19.

Unfortunately, every time he says something like this, it does play well with his base, or at least a segment of his base who his America first and America only.

the president's comments are further proof that his 'Make America Great Again' agenda is make America white again agenda.

I thank my colleague from Pennsylvania, Congressman Dwight Evans, for allowing me this time to speak. Mr. Speaker, I heard Mr. Evans talk about Dr. King's roots and influence in Pennsylvania. I just want to note, and this would only be a…

I am concerned about the new and reemerging slave trade in Libya.

I want to thank Congresswoman Waters, the ranking member. Oftentimes in this body, we talk about leadership. Leadership is what Congresswoman Waters did after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; but, more importantly, 4 years ago, when the threat…

I was afraid that we would go back to a time where discrimination was rampant.

I applaud the President for his approach to the opioid epidemic which everyone in this room is concerned about.

For a lot of people who objectively look from the back, like I do and many people where I live, the question is whether we're going towards inclusion and diversity or whether we're going back.

I want to thank the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett) for leading this Special Order and for the outstanding work that she has done as her island, the U.S. Virgin Islands, recovers from two devastating hurricanes. Being…

I believe the Federal Government and our cybersecurity leaders can create more alliances with community groups, universities, and career and technical schools to better develop our talent pipeline.

Defending our networks from cyber attacks requires strong leadership, sustained funding from Congress, and action.

We cannot pretend to be serious about right-sizing the cyber work force while at the same time entertaining the administration's request for massive cuts to programs like the National Science Foundation's Scholarship for Service.

The cyber capabilities of our work force help support economic strength and sustain our technological advantage.

I cannot fathom what kind of message is being sent to DACA recipients working to earn tech degrees in fields like cybersecurity, nor can I understand the logic behind needlessly sending this home-grown talent abroad.

I would assume it is the private sector.

We cannot rely on 4-year academic institutions and traditional educational frameworks to produce a stream of professionals commensurate with the number of connected devices we now use.

Let me thank the ranking member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, Bobby Scott, for his hard work, and the rest of the CBC in putting this budget together. Mr. Chairman, I think that what I am having a hard time doing is…

I cannot sit silently as the President insults the hurricane survivors of Puerto Rico and the San Juan mayor who is trying to help them.

At some point, we are gonna have to come together and enact sensible gun legislation.

Do we have a Department-wide strategy with how we deal with cybersecurity and our needs and challenges that we are going to continue to face in the near future?

I am pleased that we are kicking off Cybersecurity Awareness Month by talking to the Department of Homeland Security about its cybersecurity mission and how Congress can help ensure DHS is well-positioned to protect critical infrastructure…

At some point, the Majority is going to have to stand up to the gun lobby and enact responsible gun control legislation.

I urge the President to take a break from Twitter, roll up his sleeves and get to work.
