We want to hear how Olympic sponsors can help us deny the Chinese government its propaganda coup.

What is particularly galling to me about the IOC's response is its cold indifference to genocide.

It is important that we dispel this narrative, this false narrative out there that somehow people who are on this benefit do not want to work.

I am so pleased that Mr. Bacon has expressed an interest in addressing this problem, and hope to work together to craft a solution for our constituents.

SNAP is not some generous benefit. The average benefit is about $1.40 per person per meal.

If some workers are demanding jobs that treat them with dignity and respect, jobs that actually allow them to get off of government benefits for good, all I can say is, it is about damn time.

So, I am hopeful that such a conference will be able to help Congress get out of this mind-set where struggling people and their struggles are disparaged and diminished.

I have not had a single person who has told me that they would rather rely on SNAP and other government assistance programs instead of a good-paying job.

We know that rural hospitals and health systems face enormous challenges.

Meaningful investment in rural America and rural infrastructure is critical to our nation's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

These large expenses can be a huge burden, given our lack of access to capital.

I believe that hospitals are one of the basic physical and organizational facilities needed for communities to thrive, no matter the size, location, or demographics.

Over the past year, rural hospitals answered the call to service during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a Member of Congress, I am ashamed that so many people in this country don't know where their next meal is going to come from.

far too often the commentary that comes out of Washington, D.C. does more to stigmatize people than help people get back on their feet.

This is not a charity. This is our moral obligation. We all ought to be committed to making sure that nobody in this county is food-insecure or goes hungry.

Hunger is not inevitable--it's a policy choice.

SNAP is perhaps the most important anti-hunger program that we have, and charity can't do it alone.

I appreciate both of you for your courage and for coming and sharing your stories, and I look forward to continuing to work with you and others on this panel.

It should have been a unanimous vote.

It’s insulting to the American people who expect us, you know, to respect our democratic institutions and to respect elections.

We need to proceed anyway.

The American people deserve the truth.

Clearly, Kevin McCarthy is afraid to death of Donald Trump, and that’s pathetic.

He’s either a worse negotiator than Donald Trump, getting everything he wants and then walking away, or he’s a coward.
