We must address racial bias in AI technology.

I stand here in solidarity with all the artists, the creators, and the actors whose rights and livelihoods are at risk because of artificial intelligence.

I am concerned about further developing nuclear power in this country before its history of radioactive contamination is effectively and appropriately addressed in my community and others like it.

I am just not sure what is preventing the Department of Energy signing this document to fund so that we can help save lives.

We cannot talk about expanding nuclear energy in this country without first dealing with the Federal Government's continuing legacy of failing to properly remediate harmful nuclear waste in communities like mine.

They came to New Mexico and said, 'Hey, we want to open a nuclear waste dump in your state,' and New Mexico said, 'No thanks.'

I made a request, I gave the information, and I deserve at least some type of response.

I implore the Biden-Harris Administration and the Department of Energy to use every tool in its belt...

I understand that the specific problematic sites in my district are now under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps because, in 1997, Congress transferred execution of Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program...

Actions need to be taken to remediate the damage that has clearly, and what we know has already been done, before we start talking about expanding nuclear energy in this country.

We do not want any more fossil fuels at all. We do not want oil, heating oil, natural gas, diesel fuel, clean coal.

I understand that there is a unilateral administrative order from the EPA, authorizing the use of the judgment fund to clean up the West Lake Landfill site that the DOE still has not signed.

This shameful legacy of negligence and lies has hurt so many people in St. Louis, and they continue to suffer to this day.

The United States has never apologized. The United States has never provided any kind of medical support for the people that they bombed, here in the United States.

I would like a response.

New Mexico has been a dumping ground for nuclear waste since the nuclear program began in the 1940's.

Will you hold a field hearing on the lasting and unsolved legacy of nuclear waste in our communities?

MAG Republicans, but also some Democrats, want to pretend that a lack of enforcement is the problem.

Thank you. St. Louis and I are here today in solidarity with our immigrant community and in opposition to the demonizing and scapegoating by far-right MAGA extremists.

Let us be clear. There is a crisis right now, but it is not because the Southern border is open or because immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country, which the Republicans and their racist cult leader, Donald Trump, want you to…

It is devastating how little we seem to focus on the horrific conditions they are facing.

Failing to end our dangerous policies that fuel chaos abroad will only guarantee more people being forced to flee their homes and countries.

The real crisis is one of irregular migration. People around the world are fleeing from extraordinary levels of violence, persecution, and natural disasters.

I urge the Civil Rights Division to open an investigation.

We must not forget the humanity of people who are incarcerated.
