I thank my colleague and friend from California. You know you understand how it is for many of us who are blessed to have either employer-offered health insurance or are in a situation where you don't think as much about the costs or the…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi) for his eloquence and his leadership on this critically important issue. I rise to express my strong opposition to the Trump administration's efforts to repeal the…

More than 4 million women in the United States experience physical violence by a domestic partner every single day. This staggering statistic underscores the great importance of the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization. This critical…
