I am joined by over 80 of my Democratic colleagues to say the quiet part out loud: MAGA Republicans want us to default. They want to run out the clock. They want to lead our government by chaos. By sending us home, by refusing to do their…
I don't know how my colleagues across the aisle who voted for the default on America act are going to look our veterans in the eye this Memorial Day. You have presented our country with an impossible choice: devastating cuts or devastating…
1 year ago today, the American people were reeling from a white supremacist terror attack in Buffalo, New York. Families were grieving 10 Black Americans who had been targeted by an ethno-nationalist and murdered for the color of their…
Today, I rise with a heavy heart, a heart of grief. I grieve for a Nation where 111 Americans are shot and killed every single day. I grieve for a generation of kids growing up surrounded by violence. I think of William Cho, 6 years old…
Let's think about this. We need to be working on the issues that matter to families and kids. To make these children responsible for all of that and to incite fear, discrimination, and hatred, you should hang your heads in shame.
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am from Boston. If you want to talk about sports, I am all in. If you want to talk about equality for women and girls, if you want to talk about Title IX and ensuring fairness in sports, sign me up. As…
I thank the ranking member for yielding me time. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the majority's polluters over people act, a massive handout to some of the world's most profitable and most powerful corporations. It is a Big Oil…
Ahead of Trans Day of Visibility, I rise in honor of a community that is being forced to fight for its very existence. I rise in honor of trans voices that deserve to be heard, not silenced and not criminalized. I rise in honor of trans…
The success of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry requires cooperation from all levels of government.
We need to promote aviation. We need good people in it that are inspired to be there.
We need to focus on GA, we need to foster GA, and we need to allow it to flourish to provide a conduit to our pilot shortage.
We are standing at a really exciting moment, this culmination of so many technologies that are going to fundamentally transform aviation.
I am the proud mom of three. Altogether, I have 36 cumulative school years under my belt, and I served on a school board for 6 of those fighting for parents and for kids. I speak from experience when I call on this Chamber to oppose the…
I thank the gentleman from Virginia for yielding, and I include in the Record a letter from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Washington, DC, March 23, 2023. Support…
When President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, he told those gathered at the White House: ``I am signing this reform bill into law on behalf of my mother, who argued with insurance companies even as she battled cancer in her final…
The numbers are there, $8 trillion in deficit under the Trump administration; a direct correlation to a tax policy that only benefits the very wealthy. I thank the gentleman for joining me today and look forward to many more conversations…
Let's go over the basic facts here just briefly once again. What the House GOP did fight for in 2017 was a $2 trillion in tax giveaways for our largest corporations and for the wealthy because that is who they work for; the rich, the very…
I thank the majority leader, but I have to disagree. I think the majority is well aware that there is a big difference between our responsibilities around the debt ceiling and spending discussions. What we have seen being brought together…
I have to say, I am disappointed. It seemed like a simple question: Would you support the cap on insulin at $35 a month when one in four Americans with diabetes didn't take their medication because they simply couldn't afford it? If the…
I am hearing the exact same rhetoric, the exact same political posturing that I have heard for the last month. It doesn't give the American people any reason to think the GOP's priorities are going to focus on them. Let's just look at what…
I thank the gentleman, and it is my privilege to join my first colloquy to stand here on behalf of the Democratic Caucus. It is a pleasure to be with him, and I thank him for the small promotion, however brief. I really do appreciate the…
As they stack some of our most critical committees with election deniers? It is too late to inject integrity into this sham process, but we, as Members, can inject our own by voting ``no'' on this resolution.
When Roe v. Wade was overturned, the impact on Americans was swift and devastating. Women were denied healthcare. Doctors were threatened with criminal charges. Hospitals were forced to put their own liability over patients' lives. As the…
One of the most alarming things we saw in November was a rise of dark money, money coming in from individuals exceeding over a billion dollars, and money and campaigns that we don't know who it came from. So let's make it a transparent…
It is the Democrats who make sure that we are pushing laws to get dark money out of our politics so that people can see who's funding our campaigns.
Politicians like Katherine Clark
