Congress must have the authority to regulate congressional elections, and that includes regulating to protect the fundamental right to vote.

It was a terrible attack not just on the Capitol, but on democracy itself. It was an attempt to overthrow the counting of Electoral College votes.

We need far more intensive investigation into how that happened.

We can never forget that inside that violent insurrection, that was fueled by white supremacists who were descending on Washington was a coup.

They could not take yes for an answer, because there are just far too many things they don’t want America in the world and history to know.

we want to figure out exactly how that happened, make sure that it never happens again, and make sure that we`re not compromised by Donald Trump in his attempts to inject this kind of racist extremism directly into the government to try to…

They wanted that because in a contingent election, we don’t vote one member, one vote. We vote one state one vote and the GOP had 27 states in the bag at that point.

I thank Chair Maloney for her wonderful leadership of the Oversight Committee. I rise in support of H.R. 2662, the Inspector General Independence and Empowerment Act. The inspectors general are a remarkable innovation in American…

I do support a shield bill. I think it's a more complex discussion which we should be reflecting on also.

I thank the chairwoman for her great leadership on this. Madam Speaker, it is one thing to remember the Nation's Confederate traitors. It is another thing to glorify them. It is time to stop glorifying white supremacy in black robes and…

Justice Marshall argued the White primary line of cases: Smith v. Allwright and Terry v. Adams. He argued Brown v. Board of Education. He became the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. As for all the other Federal officeholders…

I wish they would tell that to Donald Trump. America would be a lot better off if he accepted that.

It seems pretty clear to me that what is going on in Georgia is all about the fact that Georgia just elected its first African-American Senator in history.

Do we really want to create a financial incentive for them to go to work and spread whatever it is they have?

Paid family medical leave is a fixture in advanced countries around the world, and I think a lot of them look at America with some shock and scandal that the wealthiest country on earth does not provide paid family medical leave.

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for her leadership. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to serve as the lead Democratic cosponsor of the bill introduced by my friend from Ohio (Mr. Chabot), the Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter…

none of it excuses the lethal recklessness of Donald Trump in his complete mismanagement of the coronavirus in our country.

In an emergency, every minute matters. Vice President Pence escaped right-wing insurrectionists chanting 'Hang Mike Pence. Hang Mike Pence' by one minute on January 6.

This assault on our Capitol was an injury to millions of Americans, and we can never let it happen again.

I see Donald Trump telling his followers that he is about to be reinstated as President of the United States in August.

I have called the Sackler family the most evil family in America.

There is a new culture of impunity and immunity in America, and we just heard some of it from one of our colleagues.

And so we need to pass this legislation to close this made-up loophole, which is allowing them to get away with pocketing billions of dollars while the people of America suffer.

The Sacklers can't have it both ways.

I am outraged that the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma have profited off of the suffering of so many families and communities.
