This really is a continuum of care that is in crisis.

We are still not able, after so many years, to ensure that women of childbearing age get the services, get the support that they need.

It is just horrendous what is happening with disparities when it comes to maternal health in the United States of America.

I am really proud to be a cosponsor of Representative Kelly's MOMMA's Act.

Threats to withdraw aid from those countries do not help.

This is the administration that we are dealing with. This is the actions of this particular secretary. Unfortunately, this is a continuation of how this administration expresses misogyny, doesn't believe victims of sexual assault and…

It is really disgusting and it is frightening to think that he thinks it is appropriate to look into a camera and tell victims to come forward, when we have his actions and we have the actions of a president that when faced with his own…

Somehow Secretary Acosta managed 53 minutes of victim blaming, but he couldn't manage to say the two words we need to hear: I resign.

I join Chairman Price in strong opposition to this amendment. Two years ago, HUD removed guidance that was meant to ensure our transgender community members are able to access emergency housing or homeless shelters. House Democrats stood…

3 years ago, tragedy struck Orlando, Florida, at the Pulse nightclub. Over 100 people celebrating life with friends, partners, and family were gunned down on a dance floor at a gay club; 49 of them lost their lives. A place of refuge was…

As we commemorate D-Day and express our heartfelt gratitude to veterans across our great Nation, it is also an appropriate time to think of civilians and security threats at home. June is Gun Violence Awareness Month and a time to reflect…

Every day, millions of Americans use the internet to enrich their lives, engage with their communities, and do their jobs. While most online interactions are positive, the sad reality is that for far too many Americans having an online…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add, at the end of the bill, the following (and conform the table of contents accordingly): TITLE…

Mr. Ross is the Secretary of this Department and he is accountable for the decisions that were made.

We now start in a process that is our responsibility to start here today in this subcommittee and that is critical to our work.

Do you regret making this deal in secret?

The hideous truth has come out. You chose wealthy and well-connected people, child rapists, over the victims in this case.

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

This is horrifying and sick stuff.

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

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

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

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

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.

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