I agree with my colleagues passionately in the need to take care of our mothers when they are pregnant, the newborns, and then their postpartum health. This bill is an important first step, and I urge my colleagues to support this…

I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1128 Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg…

I also thank Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Engel for their leadership. I think the American people understand this issue more now than ever, unfortunately. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of…

The gentleman is absolutely correct at how important a piece of legislation this is. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered…

But today's hearing is incredibly important as we find ourselves confronting multiple intersecting crises.

I think that is critical.

The human and economic toll of unmitigated climate change aren't a distant inevitably. They are here and wreaking havoc on our communities.

It is time to reboot our economy and create a cleaner, more inclusive future for all Americans.

The Clean Energy and Sustainable Accelerator also includes designated funding for one of my top priorities, which is accelerating the electrification of vehicles and fleets.

Through the Civil War, the Spanish flu, the Great Depression, and two world wars, the United States Postal Service has not stopped. No matter the conditions--snow, rain, heat, or darkness--the dedicated men and women of the Postal Service…

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

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.

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

We could mobilize new investments in safe and healthy communities, such as the creation of a national climate bank that Representative Dingell introduced.

The National Climate Bank should prioritize investments in economically disadvantaged areas, tribal communities and communities of color.

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.

I thank the wonderful chair of the Appropriations Committee for yielding. I rise in support of en bloc 2, which includes an important amendment to block the Trump administration's latest attack on the National Environmental Policy Act. For…

Benjamin Franklin once famously said that those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither. My home, Dearborn, Michigan, is home to the largest population of Arab Americans in this country. They are constantly targeted very…

I thank my wonderful chairman. I rise in strong support of the Great American Outdoors Act. This historic legislation makes good on our commitment to preserve our Nation's environmental heritage for future generations. This is an emotional…

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…

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

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 thank the gentleman from Oregon for yielding. I rise in strong support of this en bloc, which includes an important bipartisan natural infrastructure amendment that adds H.R. 3742, the Recovering America's Wildlife Act to H.R. 2. When we…

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.
