We are now in violation of the U.S. Census Act of 1974, which requires you to submit a specific report to Congress ahead of any changes that you find necessary.

And there are three reports required. They submitted the first one and the second one, but not the third one that is required to Congress.

Congress has done something wrong. And we have a debt to society, because the war on drugs is widely recognized as a horrific and non-evidence-based policy.

I think that we should also be expanding this conversation so that we are not just allowing or creating opportunities for the formerly incarcerated to have only minimum wage jobs.

Banning the box is not legislation to end racism in America.

it is important for all of us to have current information on the agency compliance with FOIA.

I would also like to note the irony of the fact that we are gathered here today in bipartisan support of a socialized insurance program that is designed to help people when the private market fails to protect homeowners.

I just can't resist commenting on the earlier question which does, I can confirm, happen at every hearing: socialism or capitalism.

that is why we try to avoid shutdowns.

I believe that Congress passing this bill will continue that conversation.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez, the New York legislature did the same.
