I hope you will reconsider what you are doing here with these cuts to Medicaid, that you are taking the most effective way we have that millions of Americans rely on to get treatment.

In your words, the guidance was, quote, 'well meaning' to address the fact that black boys are three times more likely to be suspended and black girls are six times as likely to be suspended.

You believe, the Commission believes, headed by you, that the guidance resulted in teachers and schools not really carrying out discipline because they were afraid of Federal action.

You would look and have to discipline white students at the same rates you were disciplining black students, however unfairly.

Madam Secretary, last year you came before us in answer to my question about a proposed budget cut to the Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, under ESSA.

But it just puts such a glaring light on the need for mental health services.

I appreciate the situation you are in and I am sorry that each time you come before us you are facing significant budget cuts.

I am very interested in postpartum depression, as looking at mental health as part of maternal health.

I am sure you have come prepared to justify this cut to us, but it does not go unnoticed.

This is horrifying and sick stuff.

There is no such thing as child prostitution under Federal law, only child sex trafficking.
