If Trump is serious about draining the swamp, then the President needs to release his tax returns.

This budget gambles with American lives and makes Americans last.

There are thousands of AmeriCorps members serving in New York City, a number of whom serve in my congressional district.

This so-called skinny budget, which I call an anemic budget, prioritizes building border walls over diplomacy.

This is an overwhelming display of local support for this particular program.

Why adopt this heavy-handed approach to eliminate loan forgiveness programs when, in fact, these are essential and basic to many neighborhoods throughout the country?

Loan forgiveness programs have for many years... been a part and parcel of a mechanism to bring professional help and public service to distressed areas across the Nation.

Why not create an incentive in our higher education system to have the best that are local here to come to those districts?

It is with great honor that I rise today to pay tribute to a community leader, a pioneer, and a humanitarian. Mr. Antonio C. Martinez was one of the first Dominican-American members of the New York State Bar. He was born in Santiago…

This heartless budget prioritizes building a border wall over diplomacy and housing the poor.

Trump's budget request is cold. It is a coldhearted budget, stripping funding from longstanding federal programs.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 13, line 21, insert ``subject to subparagraph (C),'' after ``(A)''. Page 14, line 6, strike ``and'' at…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 140. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Deutch The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment offered by…

I believe very strongly that this crisis is as serious as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This provides funding through April 28, 2017, which is just around the corner.

Your budget is inadequate at best and unconscionable at worst.

It is my hope that Congress will enact regular full-year fiscal year 2018 appropriations for HUD programs prior to the end of fiscal year 2017.

We should own up to our responsibility to provide a safe, healthy, and sustainable life setting in these units.

Cutting these programs is just unconscionable.

The cuts that are being proposed also include cuts in Section 8 Housing Vouchers for people like homeless veterans.

Public housing operations and capital have been underfunded for many, many years, putting long-term viability of the units at risk.

This is particularly concerning, as it relates to already poor and struggling communities.

I echo my Democratic colleagues because I don't think that we can overstate this, that we need a 9/11-style commission.

We need those answers. And we need to bring a group of witnesses here.
