It is high time we passed minimum wage.

You can’t simply attack U.S. troops without any response. And yet the response that he decided upon was measured. He looked to de-escalate the situation, not bring us to the brink of war.

To imagine colleagues of mine could have aided and abetted this is incredibly offensive, and there`s simply no way that they can be allowed to continue to serve in Congress.

I don`t know how you could have found in any other way than really the way Senator Cassidy did, and I think he explained it, that looking at that case, you would have had to have almost found for the impeachment managers, for the House…

The only way that these people, these groups, could have gotten into the complex is if another member of Congress or their staff walked them in.

It was so odd to see them that my chief of staff called the sergeant at arms to say what is going on. And he reiterated the only way these people could have gotten into the Capitol Complex was with a member or that member's staff. And we…

Not only do I intend to see that the president is removed and never runs for office again and doesn't have access to classified material, I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him... are held accountable.

The only way that these people, these groups, could have gotten into the complex is if another member of Congress or their staff walked them in. And that was reiterated by the sergeant-at-arms on January 5th.

Not only do I intend to see that the president is removed an ever run for office again and never has access to classified material -- I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him -- those members of Congress who…

We hope the vice president comes out for the 25th amendment as he should. We would like to see the president resign as he should.

I can't imagine anyone would need more evidence than what we've seen over the last few days.

It has been more than 250 days since we passed the CARES Act, and it is past time that we pass a second round. When this pandemic hit, despite being in one of the most partisan times in our Nation's history, we came together in Congress to…

I think I speak for all of my colleagues here when I say how much we appreciate our forecasters for continuing this valuable work under challenging circumstances.

Our success depends on science. We must continue to move forward on scientific innovation and support our research enterprise.

This is a practical, bipartisan piece of legislation that will work to secure our elections. The administration committee discharged this bill in February, and I hope I can count on robust support from my colleagues there. When the House…

Well, Joy, as you discussed, this isn't the first time the president has denigrated service or service members. We've seen it with his comments on John McCain and his powerful example of how you serve when you're captured as a POW, and the…

COVID-19 weighs heavily on our communities. The pandemic has increased isolation, anxiety, and economic stress for millions of Americans, and we have seen a sharp increase in overdoses across the country. The Overdose Detection Mapping…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 954, line 15, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $5,000,000) (increased by…

I thank Chairwoman DeLauro for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am here today not just as a representative of New Jersey's 11th District, but also as a working mom with four children--a mom who knows how important childcare is for our families…

if we are seeing reporting of over a third of the women being sexually harassed, if we have a murder that took place on Fort Hood, I have grave, grave concerns about how we are measuring success in this instance and I think we are failing…

I thank the gentlewoman from New York for yielding. Madam Speaker, the 116th Congress has the largest number of women serving in this body's history: 101 women serving in the House and 26 women in the Senate. This historic class of women…

New Jersey might be the Garden State, but it is also the most densely populated State in this country. So, New Jerseyans know the importance of clean air, clean drinking water, and protecting our natural resources. That is why I am proud…

Federal forces should only be deployed in the United States with the utmost transparency and only when it is absolutely necessary to protect our country and our citizens. What we are seeing in Portland and what we saw in Washington is…

I echo the chairman's concern about politicizing our military.

To date, 10,000 New Jerseyans have lost their lives to coronavirus; 1.1 million, their jobs. The toll of the pandemic on New Jersey cannot be understated, nor can the need for additional relief. That is why I fought for desperately needed…
