I want to know how does that affect your research and the work you are doing in the areas that I was asking about.

from my perspective, it doesn't seem that this budget here addresses the unique needs of those in the poorest communities and in communities of color.

the Administration has reduced money that is available to be used to make known what is covered when coverage is available and how you can get covered.

I certainly think you do.

This was not supported by any of the civil rights community and it would seem to me that that was a very valuable entity to consider before you rolled that rule back.

one of the reasons that we have access to legal abortions and safe abortions is because so many women were dying when you didn't have access to safe abortions.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to me. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of H.R. 1, the For the People Act. America is not a democracy if we don't protect the right to vote. We should be expanding voter rolls and making every…

I just want to know if the children are in cages, what do you consider the detention facilities to be?

I believe that a couple of things. It is that we need to fully fund those programs to keep our air, and our water, for that matter, safe, usable, breathable, drinkable.

Do you think that we need some kind of enforcement authority in some entity, I don't know which one it would be, that would compel those types of vendors to correct the situation?

Does that mean that then no one can purchase their voting equipment?

I am concerned about reports that election vendors don't fix vulnerabilities once they have been made aware of them.

The rail connections between New York and New Jersey rely on infrastructure that is about a century old, and in desperate need of repair or replacement.

What I care about is how we enforce the law to ensure that the LGBTQ community has access to good and affordable housing.

Okay. And what about the public housing contracts? Were those affected here as well?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

So how long will it be before those people affected by those contracts actually receive the money that they would have gotten over that period of shutdown?
