In my home state of New York, opioids alone claimed 3,000 lives in 2017.

I am calling on Congress to repeal the T-Band mandate. I am hoping that Congress can resolve this matter without delay.

There are plenty of things that we have passed in this House that, unfortunately the other body hasn't done, and the President seems to be right along with it.

The House has taken bold, decisive action to lower drug prices through H.R. 3, which provides a commonsense solution to this crisis by allowing the government to negotiate drug prices.

I do think that people have the right to make that choice for themselves and people who feel that abortion is not something they would consider for moral reasons or anything else, then I believe that they need to do whatever they feel in…

Congress has the authority to protect our constitutional rights as well.

Since 2011 we have seen a tide of Republican-controlled states pass about 450 medically unnecessary restrictions that limit access to abortion care and make it harder for women to get comprehensive healthcare services.

I oppose this bill for Oregonians like Elizabeth Gillette, who told me about her heartbreaking experience of getting an abortion in 2011.

Thank you for calling this important hearing on the coronavirus outbreak. It is one of the reasons why I love this committee, we are really right in the center of things, and quickly as well.

Improving access to contraception improved women's economic well-being.

When women have a seat at the table, we see better results in resolving conflicts and rebuilding after crises.

Let me quickly say that I agree with Mr. Scalise that the Foreign Affairs Committee should be having hearings on this. We have tried to get the Secretary of State to come. I am still hopeful he is coming, but it is a little hard to hold…

Let me just say I would like to briefly respond to the Republican leader's remarks about the Iranian protest movement, because I feel very strongly about the Iranian protest movement and in supporting them. The leader accused the Democrats…

It is now my honor to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the Speaker of the House.

Let me just say that the President always has a legal right to defend America, U.S. forces and embassies, and this resolution explicitly exempts the defensive actions described in the War Powers Resolution. The War Powers Resolution has…

Let me say, with respect to the gentleman's statement about process, when our colleagues on the other side of the aisle were in charge, they struck and replaced language in a Senate-passed bill 15 times in the last two Congresses, and this…

Thank you very much for your sponsorship of this bill. It is very important.

Counterfeit drugs and medical devices pose a significant health risk to the American public, which can lead to serious patient harm or even death.

I also want to thank Chairman Pallone for supporting us on this issue.

I led a bipartisan letter with Congressman Guthrie, signed by over 90 House members, to the FDA which prompted the agency to release a report on approaches to reduce drug shortages.

Drug shortages can hamper patient care. They delay, obviously, medical procedures, or lead to the substitution of recommended treatments with alternative therapies.

For 24 hours now, Secretary Pompeo has not said one word in defense of Ambassador Yovanovitch.

There's obviously got to be a congressional inquiry to this.

Looking back at this statement, President Bush was right, except his administration and subsequent administrations did repeat that mistake.

More than 2,000 American lives lost and thousands more wounded, more than 60 thousand Afghan deaths.
