Cori Bush

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.

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

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

I would like a response.

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.'

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

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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…

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.

If you care about women, let us get the ERA passed so we can have equal rights.

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