In closing I will just say this: I hope my colleagues join me. This is something we ought to be able to do together. We ought to solve this problem in a bipartisan fashion. I ask you to join me in voting for the motion to recommit to right…

I mean, I think that would be helpful.

Meeting the minimum standards is not good enough for our kids.

Our Strengthening Evidence Based Prevention Services Act... is a really important step.

The entirety of the system should be pointed at bringing kids back to a permanent, loving, stable home.

It is really important to me, personally.

I think it is clear antisemitism has no place in our communities, and absolutely has no place on college campuses or universities all across the nation.

I think in particular, it would be a mistake for us to reauthorize without using the opportunity to elevate these relationships, specifically--and this has been referenced--in the area of worker rights.

It makes a difference where the investment comes from and where the relationships are built, and if we defer to our adversaries, we have no ability, really, to have a meaningful impact on the continent.

Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act or any of the suggested cuts to some of our most critical health insurance infrastructure in the country would have catastrophic effects for not only the affordability of care, which is the number one…

I appreciate that very much, and, you know, obviously, we have got work to do dealing with some of these structural challenges.

Obviously, our goal is to increase access to care, increase the quality of care, increase outcomes, and at the same time manage costs.

We got that done in the last Congress.

We delivered on a commitment to do what we can to try to lower costs for Americans when it comes to their health care.

This legislation strengthens the Opportunity Zones with reporting requirements along with expanding incentives.

I'm proud to lead the Opportunity Zones Transparency, Extension and Improvement Act with my colleagues.

This is not on President Biden if it is President Trump who killed it.

President Biden would have signed that bill, the toughest border bill in history.

What happened was Mr. Trump decided he'd rather, literally, he'd rather campaign on the issue than solve the issue.

Let's pull that bill off the shelf. Let's all force a vote on it.

I have been proud to work with this Administration on implementing some, I think, monumental pieces of legislation: CHIPS and Science Act, Inflation Reduction Act.

This is not just about the fundamental question of human rights, but the economic interest of American workers.

One persistent problem that I have been focused on for the time that I have been here in Congress, both in the United States trade agreements and broader trade agenda, is the issue of forced labor.

These investments I have seen firsthand, the impact they can have on those older industrial legacy communities.
