Rashida Tlaib

I really would urge my colleagues, and this is sincere, come visit my district. I have given a number of tours, what I call the 'toxic tour.' Come breathe the air.

A third of a class will raise their hand and say they have asthma.

We must stop weighing whether or not we will act on climate change by how much money it will cost our Government and big corporations.

The problem is Republican refusal to believe in science and take climate change seriously.

You know, it just doesn't, you know, invoke a lot of confidence when many of us when we hear it is an intern could have done that.

We need to restore these protections. They are getting watered down by conservative courts and decisions.

President Trump struck a huge blow to fair-housing protection with this disparate impact final rule which failed to comply with the Supreme Court's Inclusive Communities decision.

None of this discrimination that we are talking about today is explicitly spelled out in some sort of company handbook, but it is all implicit and cloaked in, like, proxies and codewords and misguided assumptions.

Your Federal Reserve's own report says that you are failing in servicing, again, communities like mine, and we need to do more and be much more aggressive.

Many of these communities, Mr. Chairman, were already in survival mode before this pandemic, and now are really, truly suffering.

I don't know. My residents at home want to be able to pay their rent, their water bill, their utilities.

I continue to call for recurring monthly payments of $2,000.

So just to be clear, let's not gaslight the American people. You will all be fine with the tax.

One way to ensure that this enormous wealth generated on Wall Street actually reaches the real economy... is to enact and look at proposals like a financial transaction tax.

Some estimates indicate that as a result of the high frequency trading, pension and retirement accounts pay nearly $5 billion in taxes.

The stock market is simply a casino for the rich whose gambling hurts pension and retirement funds.

This primary impeachment that you see before the Senate right now to convict him is for the violence on January 6th.

This is extremely personal and extremely about -- you know, very much about us being able to keep our right to have a voice at all levels of government, and especially, again, pushing back against that violence that we saw on January 6th.

I`m incredibly proud of the leadership of representative Raskin and so many others that are really truly putting the love of country first.

It`s the same thing with the President. I don`t want to see this happen again. And we need to use every resource possible and convict this president, again, for the violence that he caused.

We can`t look away. You know, yes, he`s not president right now. But you know, Chris, this again sets a dangerous precedent if we don`t hold them accountable.

My residents don`t deserve anything less than holding this president accountable for the violence he caused on January 6th and the harm and pain he caused in trying to jeopardize our democracy in this country.

This is so hard because as many of my colleagues know, my closest colleagues now, my very first day of orientation, I got my first death threat. It was a serious one, they took me aside, the FBI had to go to the gentleman`s home. I didn`t…

Every single day that goes by without outright condemnation from every single one of her Republican colleagues, without consequences for her extremist views, is an outright endorsement of white supremacy.

I urge my colleagues to please, please take what happened on 6 seriously. It will lead to more death.
