Minnesotans value democracy and they’ve proved it once again by showing up to vote in record numbers.

This has been done the last several election cycles under multiple presidents, including President Biden. And Minnesotans may well have voted at a polling place with a federal observer there and not even noticed.

I certainly understand why reports of agents of the federal government at the polls would alarm people, especially here in Minnesota, given what we’ve all gone through over the last several months. So, I want to say we are not taking…

“unfortunate distraction.”

That help has all but vanished.

It’s a good thing to ask tough questions of your government.

There’s been a real rupture in the relationship between the federal government and the states over voter security.

What you don't want out of the system is innocent people to be fingered as illegal voters.

I don't think most people, most Americans, think that if they give to an elections administrator for voter registration purposes, sensitive data like a full or partial Social Security number, that it's going to end up in some sort of giant…

You have to use your imagination to consider and plan for the most extreme scenario.

One thing that would help is if someone at the federal government would come out and categorically say, 'No, no, no, stop the presses, stop everything. You'll never have to worry about that. That's not something we would ever consider…

Today I rise to address the House to celebrate my constituent, W. Kamau Bell, who won ``Celebrity Jeopardy!'' It is a pretty cool thing. Not only did he win ``Celebrity Jeopardy!'' but as a constituent who has lived in my district in…

I missed the vote on agreeing to the resolution, H. Res. 294. Had I been present, I would have voted NO on Roll Call No. 92. ____________________

I missed the vote on ordering the previous question on H. Res. 177. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 56.

We're here because in 2016 a foreign government — Russia — tried to tamper with our stuff.

The Biden administration has created new safeguards to reduce the potential for this fraud, but this legislation that is supported by our committee would build on this effort, making convicted fraudsters ineligible for Federal small…

I thank Ranking Member Velazquez for this opportunity to speak. I thank Chairman Williams for working with me to introduce this bill. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this effort to prioritize small businesses in the future…

I'm concerned and alarmed at what looks like a retreat from the anti-disinformation mission.

I thank the ranking member for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this misleading bill that deeply will criminalize doctors who provide the most basic and emergency healthcare to women. His name was Selah Weston. At 21 weeks, his…

I thank Congresswoman Chu for organizing the California delegation in support of our fellow Californians who are grieving as a result of the devastating fires in southern California. Our hearts break as tens of thousands of folks have lost…

I thank Ranking Member Raskin for the time. Mr. Speaker, I am honored today to speak in this Chamber as a survivor. Folks know back home that I have been doing this work for 30 years, day in and day out. As a survivor, I almost lost my…

H.R. 30, and I repeat, does nothing to advance these solutions. Instead, it broadens the definition of domestic violence in ways that punishes survivors, making them inadmissible and subject to deportation, regardless of their legal…

Artificial intelligence is not a threat to American democracy in and of itself, but it is an emerging and powerful amplifier of existing threats.
