Rashida Tlaib

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.

We cannot ignore the pain our country has caused these children.

Punishing the innocent to scare the innocent is so un-American. The cruelty of this program was not an unintended mistake. It was the whole purpose.

Including 11 babies who were taken away from the only family they have ever known. In Detroit, we call that inexcusable cruelty.

I can't imagine describing the taxpayer-funded campaign designed to terrorize migrant families as going well.

The measure of our nation's greatness should not be the gains of Wall Street. It should be in how our most vulnerable are taken care of.

They had no issue with granting corporations and the wealthiest of Americans hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of tax cuts, yet they speak out now when we need to help everyday Americans.

I also want to push back against the deficit hawks and Republicans who worry more about the budget than getting Americans money.

The vaccine can't fix the problem of our savings accounts, right?

That is half a million lives lost because of the incompetence of this past Administration.

The biggest job killer right now in our country and around the world is COVID.

I have been calling for a $2,000 recurring monthly direct payment since the start of the pandemic.

In Michigan's 13th, we proudly speak truth to power, even in the face of a racist in chief. Those who incited an attack on the people's House do not get to talk about healing and unity. They have torn this country apart. They have stoked…

I think you need to pay up, and you need to really be held accountable for the fact that you all turned a blind eye.

Your words don't match the actions.

I fully believe you would not be settling these cases out of court unless you were in the wrongdoing.

I mean, why wouldn't they? It's their land.

I mean, the only good reason I can think of is FERC doesn't really want to make a good-faith effort to make the process smoother.

It seems to me that if FERC wanted to protect landowners, it could, by default, make all the affected landowners parties to the case by default.

This is an extraordinary burden, y'all, like, on landowners, on people, regular folks.

I really urge our committee to play a very, very key leadership role, because I do think what happened in Detroit was intentional on the part of this administration.

The Bureau did not follow proper protocols or provide them with necessary supports to count every person

The process needed to count by 100,000 nonresponding households

I mean, you know, this means a community like mine are going to get undercounted, because, obviously, they didn't deploy the same standards in Detroit that they did in the nearby Macomb County area that what--you know, again, is not, you…
