For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 492 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 492 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

I often reflect on the wise words of Margaret Mead: ``Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.'' Never has this proven more true than when women of…

My district in Rochester, New York, has the second-highest rate of childhood poverty in America. Children in poverty face overwhelming barriers to academic success because it is impossible for them to learn when they are hungry or…

It is our responsibility to continue the fight for workers' rights to organize and collectively bargain.

The Supreme Court's 2018 decision in Janus was yet another in a long history of attacks on labor unions.

We have long stood behind our workers' right to organize and collectively bargain.

I would like to ask Dr. Kerr, President Trump has claimed that our country is full. How can that be accurate when the Census Bureau show that 44 percent of American counties lost population last year?

Thanks to those new arrivals, our city's population is stable, and our economy has the opportunity for growth and innovation.

The reality, backed up by data, is very different. Immigrants, like my great grandparents, are job creators, not takers.

You can use a religious exemption to anything that you ultimately decide, even though it discriminates against someone.

I find this horrifying, but hardly surprising.

I thank the distinguished gentleman with whom I have the privilege of serving on the Rules Committee for his distinguished leadership of that committee and for yielding me the time. Madam Speaker, I rise today to applaud the work of the…

We ought to work together...to try to find real solutions to it.

We mark the beginning of Gun Violence Awareness Month clouded in tragedy and heartbreak as our Nation yet again mourns the loss of innocent life and confronts another act of senseless gun violence. As a Nation, we grieve with the Virginia…

It is folly to ignore the fact that this is happening and do everything in our power to curb global warming and protect the planet.

Planning for the future and improving the ability of our communities to withstand, recover, and adapt to weather-related events is a requirement.

It is undeniable that stability of our climate is deteriorating.

We are, Congressman, tracking data relative to issues like that through the SEAs, the States themselves who are, in part, responsible for tracking that data for The Every Student Succeeds Act.

The United States must do everything in its power to address the existential threat of climate change including mitigating the devastating impacts of natural disasters on our communities.

As States like Alabama move forward implementing medieval laws that seek to imprison doctors and punish women for their personal healthcare decisions, I want to make one thing absolutely clear: I will always stand up and defend a woman's…

We know that our communities are best served when people are actively participating in the workforce.
