What exactly are you hoping to accomplish? At best, it isn't clear.

as someone who has benefitted from Title X, my ability to continue seeing the healthcare provider I know and trust is on the line. My healthcare is not a political game. It should not matter who you are, or where you live, or what kind of…

the only care that I could receive was from Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood was there for me with no judgment. They provided the necessary and affordable medical care that I needed when no one else would.

We have heard today just how pivotal the role of Title X has played over the past 50 years in building a network of family planning clinics that ensure access to high-quality reproductive care, for low-income, or uninsured individuals…

H.R. 2699, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019, introduced by Mr. McNerney and Mr. Shimkus, is very similar to H.R. 3053 from the 115th Congress.

I want to give credit to Mr. Shimkus for his tireless efforts on this issue.

I take our nation's nuclear waste challenges seriously.

Politics of nuclear waste disposal are unquestionably difficult.

I take our Nation's nuclear waste challenges seriously.

The politics of nuclear waste disposal are unquestionably difficult.

H.R. 3136, the STORE Nuclear Fuel Act of 2019, introduced by Ms. Matsui, directs the Secretary of Energy to establish an interim storage program.

I support all three of these bills, and I think we got to move forward.

I believe all of our Federal agencies need to do more to consider how to best address climate change.

I'm very proud to have sponsored that legislation, and even more proud that it's been recently signed into law.

Our oceans hold so much promise, from understanding the origins of life, to offering new medicines...

The evidence undeniably shows that climate change is hurting our oceans, and the trend will only get worse with inaction.

It was recently reported that the Trump Administration is working to change the scope of the National Climate Assessment by cutting off review to 2040.

I introduced the Scientific Integrity Act to ensure that every agency that funds science has strong scientific integrity policies in place.

I believe, in the richest country on Earth, health care should be a guaranteed right for all, full stop.

The way that the Medicaid program views the insular area is of second-class citizens.

It is imperative, I believe, that Congress properly address the Medicaid financing issues.

We will not be able to adequately address the climate crisis or accelerate the clean energy transition unless we help finance an infrastructure build-out for cleaner vehicles.

the Trump EPA's misguided approach ignores billions of dollars in benefits that come from avoided premature deaths, heart attacks, asthma attacks, and more.

Let me be very clear. If you are defying Congress and the American people by using this process to diminish the capacity and number of our forecasters, Congress will not be silent.

Lacking a consistent credible response, I have to think that, where there's smoke, there is indeed fire.
