But although it's helped many people avoid losing their homes, the diligent work of the Special Inspector General for TARP has provoked a lot of bipartisan anxiety about how State agencies are administering the program.

In government everybody kicks in their $10 or whatever, right? That's how we do it.

Where President Trump has shown no leadership, Congress must step into the void.

This is the most deadly national health crisis we have seen in three decades.

This is our watch. This is our watch. And it is our duty to protect our neighbors.

Last month, I introduced the CARE Act with Senator Elizabeth Warren to start treating the opioid crisis like the public health crisis it is.

Well, hello, there's a big difference now. It's everywhere. And so we have to address this in a bipartisan way.

As we recognize our hardworking law enforcement officers across America this week and honor those, like Lieutenant Albarati, who have given their lives to keep the rest of us safe, I am very proud to reiterate my support for the…

We need to reject this latest proposal in a string of terrible proposals, this sabotage of the United States civil service.

What makes the Trump administration's proposal so disappointing is that it comes after the President and the Republicans in Congress enacted $1.5 trillion in tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations.

In my district, I have urban, suburban, and rural. I have urban places like Rockville, Maryland; I have suburban places like Bethesda and Silver Spring; I have rural places in Frederick County like Middletown and Carroll County. I have…

Three-quarters of SNAP benefits go to families: households with children in them. That should be what people think of when they think of the SNAP program. We heard a lot today in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing that…

Let me ask Mrs. Coleman one final question before she goes. She made a point before which I thought was profound, which is that millions and millions of people on the SNAP program are working, but they are not making enough money to…

I am delighted to be leading this Special Order hour on the SNAP program and the current threats against it in the farm bill. SNAP, of course, is America's most important antihunger program, serving more than 42 million Americans and…

I thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) for her leadership, for her vision, and for her writing. It is incisive and useful for us all. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams).

I thank Ms. Barragan very much for her leadership in defending the SNAP program. She talked about California. I just want to add to her point, a point about my home State in Maryland, where the SNAP program reaches 684,000 residents of my…

I thank Ms. Jackson Lee for her really profound and important remarks tonight. Mr. Speaker, I would close out our session here by just making an observation about the importance of this SNAP question. It is important legislatively because…

I want to follow up on something Ms. DeLauro said, which I think is very important. She pointed out that it was Senator Robert Dole, a Republican from Kansas; and Senator George McGovern, a Democrat from South Dakota, who came together and…

This used to be bipartisan. It used to be a bipartisan commitment, and now, suddenly, it fell apart with no participation from Democrats. It comes flying out with the idea of targeting the SNAP program. What is going on here? Mr. Speaker…

I thank Ms. Adams so much for her insightful remarks. Before Ms. Adams leaves, I would like to ask her a question. Working in Washington and coming here several days a week, as Members of Congress do, we are often treated to the spectacle…

We are not going to be able to eliminate laziness, but maybe we can take care of hunger in America so that kids don't go to sleep without food. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Ms. Adams for her leadership and her strong voice on these issues…

I would say to Ms. DeLauro that that came out of the Agriculture Committee, as I understand it, on a party line vote. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, he got that right.

They are both from farm States. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, that is right. And they said there is a serious problem of hunger in the United States. They came back to Washington, and Democratic Members and Republican Members came together to…

Ms. DeLauro made some really striking points, and I wanted to explore them a little bit more. The tax bill, as we know, created a windfall bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars for the wealthiest corporations and the wealthiest people…

I thank Ms. DeLauro, and I would ask if she would be willing to stick around just for a little colloquy. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I will.
