Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Did BLM or anyone in the Department provide rationale for not consulting some of the major stakeholders?

Did the White House at any point weigh in on a preference on this decision with you?

We are also very concerned about some of this business as usual, to use his words, around oil and gas development.

The House Republican solution is to try to literally just attempt to end immigration and asylum.

So yes, it's confusing, and reaction to the Texas ruling does cross party lines, New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her South Carolina Republican colleague, Nancy Mace, are both calling on the Biden…

The contents of this judge's ruling is frankly shocking.

This is about a naked abuse of power. This is about disenfranchising Democrats in States where there is extreme levels of voter suppression.

I believe that the Biden administration should ignore this ruling.

And does the FDA currently have a clear congressional authority to issue a mandatory recall, instead of just relying on these corporations to voluntarily issue a recall?

But I wanted to look a little bit and dig into the FDA's authorities that you were speaking into and what we need to do to prevent something like this from happening again?

We also know that Abbott faced a number of lawsuits alleging tainted baby formula long before the recall happened.

There were allegations of falsification of records, of trying to keep information away from Federal inspectors.

And at the time of the infant formula recall last year, Abbott manufactured 43 percent of the powdered infant formula produced in the U.S. Is that correct?

When we talk about progressive values, I can say what my progressive value is, and that is freedom over fascism.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 219, nays 206, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 141] YEAS--219 Aderholt…

The public needs answers on this.

I sincerely ask that we take this seriously because it is not getting handled at the level that it needs to be handled.

Every day that we do not act on this is a day that the evidence evaporates from the scene...

This Committee needs to hold a hearing on the derailment in East Palestine.

This is the woke alleged to take over, that we want wildland firefighters who are putting their lives at risk...

I mean, that is seriously what we are hearing.

I think we need a conversation about priorities here.

I am very concerned that the Biden Administration is moving this online with the CBP One app.

Now I know some people like to fantasize about sealing the border, or shutting down our asylum system, or invading Mexico, as I believe our full Committee Chairman actually mentioned on Fox News last night, but we know that those are not…

I am very concerned about the implementation of that exacerbating through technology racial inequities that already exist in our system.
