Debbie Dingell

I want to focus on the strong need for Federal leadership and the establishment of a national drinking water standard for PFAS.

Is EPA at all close to establishing a national safe drinking water standard for PFOA or PFAS within the statutory deadlines?

So not only are States being forced to do this, but cities and local drinking water utilities are also having to act, in the absence of Federal standards.

Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, and this has become even clearer in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

So that is why we need the Leave No Americans Behind law that Jim and I have introduced.

A more cynical person might say that, while President Trump has thankfully failed to build his wall along our border with Mexico, his horrendous response to the coronavirus has erected a different kind of wall, one that prevents Americans…

That is why Congressman Jim McGovern and I have introduced the Leave No Americans Behind Act, which would end the State Department's practice of charging these fees.

I listened to Patrick, and it is wonderful to see him at the beginning of this talking about... eliminating the stigma.

We need to be talking about this. And our mental health system is broken.

I think the fact that the committee has chosen to highlight this issue is really important.

There is an inconsistency here that just makes--there is no--you have no metrics by which to judge how they are making decisions.

Facebook has taken down the use of the word unionization, which has been very disturbing with the UAW.

I am worried about how disinformation spreads like wildfire and I am trying to figure out how do we address it.

I hear what Dr. Fauci is saying and I know the importance, but what steps will FDA take to ensure effectiveness in evaluating data from the clinical trial and will you commit to receiving that full effectiveness data from Phase III before…

If we don't act, we are going to be facing scary, significant, and I don't know what the impact will be on these budget shortfalls.

I fought to increase dedicated funding for HCBS and we put it in the HEROES Act in the House.

We really need to have this discussion about racial and ethnic disparities in our healthcare system.

We have got to do better.

Water is a basic human right, which is the bill that I introduced with my colleague, was included in the most recent bill passed by the House, the HEROES bill.

I want to recognize Mrs. Dingell for her leadership on these vital measures.

She took personal responsibility for the potential death of everybody in our State.

Governor Whitmer has taken swift actions to flatten the curve and blunt the spread of COVID-19.

Challenging times demand decisive and compassionate leaders.

This sort of action, unarmed protesters being forcibly attacked by armed police without provocation, both violates our fundamental principles

I think Americans have the right to peacefully assemble and protest. It is a fundamental right of our democracy.
