Jamaal Bowman actually said...

"I thank Chairman Williams and Chairman Obernolte for convening this hearing, on a subject that is of crucial importance for the future of our country and planet."

"While Republicans continue to speak about these budget cuts, they do not also speak about increased spending to invest more in our children and our families."

"We are not having honest, holistic, comprehensive conversations, and it seems the party, the Republican Party is going through a sort of cognitive dissonance."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman, for convening us here today."
