Regional, racial, and gender equity issues are important for trade policy decisions.

I’ve been fighting against the filibuster for years now. It is -- it gives Mitch McConnell a veto, and I am opposed.

We now have every single Democrat is on board with a voting rights bill, an anticorruption bill. And that’s -- that’s powerfully important.

We have got to protect the vote in America.

It’s not only about access to the polls. It’s about things like banning gerrymandering and getting that under control. It’s about exposing dark money and trying to squeeze it out of elections. It’s about anticorruption and conflicts of…

The threat to our democracy, on voting, is enormous. This one is existential. We have to fight back against Republicans cutting out people from being able to vote and cutting out the effectiveness of their vote.

There will be one infrastructure deal, and it will be a big infrastructure deal. A part of this is how we`re going to pay for it. And that means making sure that billionaires and giant corporations are paying a fair share, and that we`re…

We have to have the whole thing, not just -- not just cleave off a little piece of it.

I am fighting for a $700 billion investment in childcare.

When you pay me $1, what are you rewarding me for?

Childcare is a public service. Childcare should be prioritized.

We do not make parents prove that they are working or that their income is low enough to be able to send their child to first grade.

I think the evidence is clear here that you are citing that high-quality care helps all of our children learn and grow.

Just yesterday, I sent a letter to Congressional leadership with the support of over 100 of my colleagues, calling for a $700 billion investment in childcare.

We cannot let women who have lost so many jobs in this economy... People are counting on Congress to deliver on childcare.

We have to make sure that when we rebuild infrastructure in this country that we create good middle-class jobs and that childcare providers are not left behind.

We need to make it available for all of our babies, regardless of how much money their parents earn or what kind of job they have.

We cannot let that happen. The infrastructure train is leaving the station and we cannot leave childcare behind.

This is our moment to act.

This is what it means to say that childcare is infrastructure.

The United States did not and we saw a flattening of women's labor force participation.

Lack of affordable high-quality childcare affects every aspect of our economy.

We can do the work that demonstrates that childcare is infrastructure in this country.

Now is not the time to abandon what President Biden has proposed. Now is the time to expand it.

The pandemic has exposed the challenges that have faced working families and childcare providers for decades.
