Rashida Tlaib

Fight for them like you live there, because they have nobody else but us.

I grew up in a neighborhood, honestly, I would come into my house as a little child, smelling like rotten eggs.

I am going to be very much always about holding them accountable.

I want them to feel like their lives are important under an administration that says they care about clean air and water, right?

Beniteau Street on the east side of Detroit is a predominantly Black, very working class, low income, poor community.

The way the international financial institutions are governed is inconsistent with the democratic ideals we seek at home.

I do not know how you address systemic, you know, inequity, different various policies and systems without actually, like, fully understanding the full scope.

It is unbelievable to me that they just want to erase it or try to reinterpret it in 2024 and how that is actually the opposite.

The list that right now is being used discriminates against American Muslims en masse, with little to no legal recourse for countless wrongfully included Americans.

I mean, it is a great title. It is great words being used.

Because that is what our frontline community-based organizations that have been doing environmental justice work has been told.

We had started a 'We Have a Right to Breathe' campaign in my district.

It is important for my colleagues to know both Trump and the Obama Administrations have done this before.

It should not be controversial that the public interest determination should consider the most up-to-date science and best practices.

It has never been clearer that we must rapidly phaseout fossil fuel production and transition to clean renewable energy.

I mean, even when we submit these into the record, it is something incredibly, like, daunting and scary to think that a President of the United States can fire an EPA Federal employee that is out there literally trying to provide clean air…

We cannot allow, no matter who is the President of United States, to use that office for political motivation to attack many of the Federal employees that act in a very nonpartisan way.

No matter who is in the White House, which should never ever, ever, no matter anybody in this room, should never ever be allowed to just fire any Federal employee.

We cannot allow, no matter who is the President of United States, to use that office for political motivation to attack many of the Federal employees.

I think it is incredibly dangerous. And last, just because it really made me angry, and I think it makes my constituents angry.

People like our disgraced, twice impeached President, who represents the worst of the unchecked American capitalism, who as we speak, is sitting in a courtroom as the first-ever American President to face criminal prosecution.

I really want to talk about what makes the lives of our residents difficult every single day, like greedy corporations raising prices to pay their executives and shareholders; polluters that literally treat communities in my district, like…

We need more resources.

What do you think we should do because vaping comes up so much for all of us, no matter for a Republican, Democrat?

I really think we should really prioritize... we need to do more around food safety.
