Rashida Tlaib

It is no secret that President Trump has an animus toward my faith by saying things like Islam hates us and by instituting his Muslim ban, and it is whipping up a mob mentality.

6 years ago yesterday, Westland firefighter Brian Woehlke made the ultimate sacrifice when he died courageously battling a blaze at a local strip mall. Brian, who was born in Detroit, certainly was courageous, and he lost his life after…

Addiction is a chronic medical condition.

We know that addiction is a chronic disease, like diabetes. If only one in five diabetes clinics offered treatment with insulin, would that be acceptable?

We would lose lives because of that.

For my colleagues, it always will take resources, no matter how much we try to fix border issues.

But we already know medication-assisted treatment is one of those elements that needs to be fully funded and the resources available to the families that need this.

I could not agree more, and what I heard this morning, it really was a testament that they do not want any more talk.

Why are companies allowed to get around regulations that address predatory lending, the Truth in Lending Act, and offer these products with outstanding property taxes and liens to consumers without letting the potential homeowners know?

Every contract should be recorded immediately. And then we also believe that the termination of the contract needs to be enforced through judicial foreclosure.

I'm also very proud to cosponsor H.R. 2333, the Support for Suicide Prevention Coordinators Act, introduced by Representative Anthony Brindisi of New York.

I'm proud to cosponsor H.R. 2340, the Fight Veteran Suicide Act introduced by Representative Max Rose of New York.

We continue to stand with you. You have fought and sacrificed for your country. And now it is our job in Congress to fight for you.

This seems to be a predatory process, a redlining process that hurts predominantly blacks.

Between the 1930s and the 1960s, contracts were used to redline and prevent minorities from being homeowners.

In 2015, the Detroit News found that more land contracts than traditional mortgages have been filed with the Wayne County registrar in my district.

Many buyers, many of our residents don't realize that and there are repairs that are needed, hidden fees and interest and so forth, again, not fully disclosed to the homeowner.

I want to urge my colleagues, as I am working with Chairwoman Waters and her team on the Land Contract Homebuyers Protection Act, that I am hoping to provide eviction protections for buyers.

Access is so key. In the 13th Congressional District, many homes are under $50,000 where it is nearly impossible to get a traditional mortgage company or folks to finance.

The insurance industry has never admitted that communities of color actually pay more for their car insurance

So Mr. Lynch, why does marital status have anything to do with somebody's driving history or driving record?

The unfortunate effect of this is that the people who need the cheapest auto insurance the most, are the ones who get charged more.

We call that redlining. It is a discriminatory practice to base it not solely on people's driving history.

So Mr. Lynch, there are two drivers, true fact, who can talk to each other from across the street in their driveways, they are the same age, they have the same driving history, the same car, the same credit score, what I can't figure out…

But Mr. Rivera, they are saying if somebody has a low credit score, the likelihood of them committing a fraudulent claim is higher, so they are saying because they are poor, because they have a low credit score, the likelihood of them…
