We had to take a vote on an amendment that would strip the protections for LGBTQ students, and it is further ironic that that is the priority of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, when we have yet again witnessed another tragic and horrible shooting, and yes, we pray for, we honor, we mourn with those families, of the 19 students.

I very much appreciate the opportunities I have had to discuss my passion around helping the 200,000 COVID-19 orphans in the United States of America.

It is a profound and deep irony that this committee...had to take a vote last week in a committee markup on Congressman Johanna Hayes' bill to invest in mental health resources for college students.

I know that in the Cabinet of President Biden you are trying to do everything you can, and we will continue to support you in that effort.

it is very clear who is standing for all students, who is making sure that we are pushing for equal funding for IDEA

I am so grateful to you for having this hearing, examining the policies and priorities of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

let me say that again for the people in the back, $6 billion contract to build the next generation vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service to a totally new nonunion plant instead of having UAW members in Wisconsin carry out this lucrative contract.

I'm proud to be an original co-sponsor the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act, a responsible solution to deter wage theft and help workers seek justice.

I'm surprised that all of five minutes of questioning wouldn't be used by any Member of Congress the egregious topic at hand known as wage theft.

If you're not on board with this, you're part of the problem.

I really want to salute Mr. Esparza for being here and for your testimony and for your effort.
