I just want to say thank you for that. But also, I am thrilled to be working on a bipartisan bill with Congressman Guthrie from Kentucky in this space.

Maryland, Mrs. Secretary Robinson, is one of 27 States that run their own State apprenticeship programming.

Thank you, Chairwoman Davis and Ranking Member Smucker, for holding this important hearing.

The Trump Administration has failed to provide a coherent rationale for the strike that killed him.

The careful plotting and planning he put into sowing death, destruction and chaos is absolutely reprehensible.

Soleimani was responsible for the attacks that killed hundreds of Americans and thousands of Iraqis, Syrians, and others.

I have significant concerns about the administration's inability to answer these questions and communicate a coherent strategy.

This summer, I learned firsthand the shortcomings of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, or the WARN Act, with the closing of Luke.

This is why I joined Congressman Tim Ryan in introducing legislation that would strengthen the WARN Act to give workers and communities the notice they need.

We all agree all children deserve a safe and healthy childhood however, this Administration has continuously worked to implement policies that discourage or prevent children, families from accessing education, healthcare, and other…

So these policies are driving income inequality, driving health inequality, and certainly fueling our criminal justice system where we are spending $80 billion when we should be spending that on education.

I am concerned that the DOL isn't sufficiently carrying out its statutory requirements to safeguard the welfare of apprenticeships within the Registered Apprenticeship system.

Unfortunately, rather than doing that, the Trump administration has improperly shifted funding from Registered Apprenticeships to start an entirely new program.

Registered Apprenticeships are by far America's most successful workforce training program, delivering real results, both workers and employers.

If you could look into it and get back the week after Thanksgiving, that would be great.

Can you explain to us how you justify using Registered Apprenticeship funds when less than 1 percent of the website's posting are for true Registered Apprenticeship positions?

When I look for positions there is 2,526 postings on that site, but only 11 were for Registered Apprenticeships.

I think that is important and I am glad you brought up the website because I always look for ways my constituents can get a better job.

Today I rise to praise the House for unanimously passing the Dignity in Aging Act. This act includes two bipartisan bills that I led to respond to challenges facing a growing aging American population: social isolation and younger onset…

The fact that there was quote/unquote, 'no written commitment' to protect the Kurds, I do not think anybody should care.

I would call it a very bright green light that came from the President.

There was a green light by the Administration. I would call it a very bright green light.

We have a moral commitment. We had a moral commitment. We still do.

I mean, it is local riders but it is also tourists.

I simply can't understand why the administration would take in actions makes it harder for schools to be part of CEP.
