I am particularly concerned about mental health.

It is the wrong way to go. Students will suffer. Families will suffer.

Well, I know that we are trying very hard to catch up and to be able to in real time deal with the issues.

I am concerned, number one, is that I have no idea what percentage of need that represents...

Good morning to you, sir. It is good to see you here. Back in 2019 before the pandemic, I headed an emergency task force on mental health and suicide particularly among black youth, and I see in your proposal that you are including an…

I rise because I am appalled that this is how my Republican colleagues have chosen to start this majority. It appears that actually legislating is too great a challenge for my colleagues, who have no apparent plan to address the real…

I want to just mention that I am totally in support of the questions raised by Congressman Swalwell as it related to antisemitism.

We must not lose track of the threats we face over the long term, such as increased aggression by China and Russia.

I thank my colleague for organizing this very important moment on the floor of the House of Representatives to address what is a critical, urgent issue, and crisis in our country right now. Madam Speaker, I rise today to draw attention to…

I hope you are sharing information that has been successful to you all in Ohio with the rest of the secretaries of state around the country.

Yes. For all of you, Mr. Bowser thank you for your testimony--Mr. Bowlin, I am sorry.

I introduced a bill, H.R. 7949, the Stay Cool Act, to address the threat of extreme heat.

That generally indicates it is an area we need to make progress in.

We are excited for the support and, you know, all of the on-going conversation around what it would take to give both funding and authority for the Coast Guard to purchase a commercially-available icebreaker.

As the first female service chief in the history of our Nation, your leadership shows service members across the globe that the highest ranks of military service are no longer reserved solely for men.

It is my hope that the next 4 years will be a time of growth and success for the Coast Guard, with more women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community rising through the ranks.

Thank you for having mentioned the fact that individuals who make those decision to stay in place, opt out of the promotion for the moment.

A safe and welcoming culture that celebrates our differences is vital to creating a work force that responds to new challenges and meets the diverse needs of the American public.

Admiral Fagan, your leadership as the first female service chief will be essential for expanding opportunities for all women in the Coast Guard.

I am particularly concerned that diversity decreases with rank, leaving little opportunity for women and minorities at the top.

I am grateful for Chairwoman Slotkin's leadership and that of her committee colleagues on these important measures.

Last week I introduced the Stay Cool Act, H.R. 7949, to study, mitigate, and address the impacts of extreme heat.

My understanding is that ABC News reported that residents of Trenton, New Jersey, are still waiting for assistance from FEMA after Hurricane Ida.

I want to know if the nonprofit organizations that provide health care, in addition they provide abortions to people, are they eligible for the grant program for safety and security...

I want to know what FEMA is doing with regard to that.
