Last week, along with many of my colleagues, we introduced two bills to ensure that employers like Dan Snyder cannot abuse nondisclosure agreements to silence employees and cannot film their employees and use it, use the films without…

If the NFL is unwilling or unable to hold Mr. Snyder accountable, then I am prepared to do so. That is why I am announcing now my intent to issue a subpoena for the testimony of Mr. Snyder for a deposition next week.

For more than two decades, Dan Snyder refused to protect the women who worked for him from the toxic culture he created.

The issue of sexual harassment is one of the most prominent--in one of the prominent and respected workplaces in this country and a cover-up on behalf of a powerful owner should matter to all of us.

Mr. Snyder has not been held accountable. His refusal to testify sends a clear message that he is more concerned about protecting himself than coming clean with the American people.

Thankfully, the Biden administration has prioritized a whole-of-government approach to combating pandemic relief fraud.

The Trump administration failed to implement basic fraud controls in the COVID-19 Epidemic Impact Disaster Loan program.

Uncovering and prosecuting fraud that has already occurred in pandemic relief programs is vital, and requires close collaboration across Federal agencies.

Unfortunately, the report released by the select subcommittee today shows that significant fraud occurred in Small Business Administration relief programs under the former Trump administration.

In 2020, Congress took bold action to provide unprecedented relief to Americans struggling because of this terrible pandemic.

Small Business Administration relief programs were vital to keeping local business open in New York City, which, as you know, was hit early.

Individuals and small businesses and communities of color were disproportionately unable to receive any relief or the relief that they needed.

For more than three months, Russian forces have carried out a campaign of terror against the Ukrainian people.

Suffering most acutely are the innocent families, women and children, of Ukraine, who have become targets in Putin's war.

No civilian needs an assault rifle, and the Second Amendment does not protect the right to own a weapon of war.

As a mother, it is hard to find words to express the grief and outrage I feel, and others feel in this room, listening to the stories from our witnesses today.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in our country.

Congress just needs to find the courage to act, and I hope we find it today when we pass on the sensible and vote on these sensible gun reform bills.

Commonsense to me means when you ask the average person out there in the country... they say, absolutely, it makes sense.

The truth is the gun industry is making billions of dollars selling the weapons that are killing our children.

The fight to protect our children from gun violence is far from over, but based on the bravery and determination our witnesses displayed today, I am confident it is a fight we can and will win.

This out-of-control gun violence is a uniquely American tragedy.

We can put rational commonsense measures in place to achieve the right balance.

To meaningfully address the gun violence epidemic in our country, we must pass commonsense reforms while also investing in evidence-based prevention strategies.

We have lost too many lives to gun violence. It is long past time for Congress to act.
