50 years after the passage of title IX, females are being annually shortchanged by a billion dollars in athletic scholarships.

It is clear that years of reluctance to embrace the inevitable shift on NIL means athletes are now operating in a patchwork of State laws governing their rights.

I am a proponent of giving athletes the power to organize and collectively bargain for fair and better treatment.

I wouldn't be where I am today without that scholarship.

Any Federal action we take to deliver for the people who have always been what matters most in college sports--and that is the athletes--that means guaranteeing them the maximum freedom possible to be compensated for the use of their name…

Would you commit to working with members of this committee to craft a legislative fix that prioritizes college athletes?

the national standard should be as pro-athlete as possible?

if deals started to take the shape of resembling pay-for-play, which has been discussed today, it just highlights what we have known for years, and that is that there is a market for paying college athletes.

My generation and every generation of women after us has grown up with the freedom and the security under Roe v. Wade. Today those protections are under attack from lawmakers and activists, many of whom have never had to make the tough…

I was in a meeting. Had I been present, I would have noted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 286. Members Recorded Pursuant to House Resolution 8, 117th Congress Babin (Nehls) Boyle, Brendan F. (Jeffries) Carter (TX) (Calvert) DeFazio (Brown)…

I think it is incumbent on us to make sure we are directly reaching out to those communities.

It is absolutely burdensome to the Commission to do it. I think it is worth it for us to try.

I think that all of us here would agree that the FTC is underresourced.

A more flexible and dynamic FTC actually benefits honest businesses.

I think this type of focus, and bringing this lens to our work, is going to be imperative.

I think we need to think hard about how we can improve on this front.

The agency is severely underresourced. There--we have less staff than we did back in 1980.

Children do well and they thrive when they feel safe, when they are with a loving, caring adult who they recognize and understand cares about them.

This hearing is an opportunity to reflect on the errors of our recent past in order to forge a wiser and more humane path forward, one that better resembles our country's values.

And so, as you noted, we had to quickly stand up ORR facilities, maybe not the ideal, but places where all of those child-centered activities could happen.

The prior administration's family separation policy was obviously abhorrent and indefensible at the time, and I regret that it will forever be a stain on our Nation.

I'm grateful that those days are finally behind us and the Biden administration is taking the steps necessary to ensure that unaccompanied minors are treated with compassion, care, and dignity.

Like so many of my colleagues, I am so pleased that earlier this month FDA expanded the authorization of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents 12 to 15 years old.

Building a more resilient grid, incentivizing electric vehicles, expanding offshore wind, these are critical and immediate steps toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

I am wondering if you can take a moment to speak to the importance of supporting fusion energy R&D projects.
