Congresswoman, thank you so much for being here tonight and for speaking out on this very important issue. We are grateful for your presence here tonight. Madam Speaker, at this time I would like to go to the middle of the country, to the…

Congresswoman, I want to thank you so much for being here. We have had some Republicans across the aisle here tonight. We have had some moderate Democrats here tonight. And we have progressive Democrats, such as yourself, here. I think it…

I thank the gentleman for being such a fierce advocate. Madam Speaker, I want to travel across the country from California now to New Jersey, to another fierce advocate; someone who served in the U.S. military as a Navy helicopter pilot…

So we have to recognize that the country is not the same all over. If you make $150,000 in your household, you are in the top 20 percent of the income earners of the country. However, if you make $150,000 in your district or my district…

And are people talking about leaving the region because of the effect of the taxes? I yield to the gentlewoman.

I thank Mr. Pascrell very much for his comments. I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Eshoo), a good friend and a leader, not just on this issue but in Congress.

And so they put a deduction in place for State and local taxes so that State and local governments could govern the way they wish.

And you talk about President Lincoln when the Federal Tax Code was first adopted, and the idea was that we didn't want the Federal Government stopping local governments and State governments from being the laboratories of democracy.

I thank the gentlewoman for her leadership on this and for being such a fierce advocate for the middle class. I now introduce a good friend of mine from California, who really had a district that was devastated by COVID. People lost their…

Now I want to go across the aisle again to Congresswoman Michelle Steel from California, who is also being accosted by her constituents. They are talking to her about the fact that they need the SALT deduction back. Madam Speaker, I yield…

Tonight, over the next hour, I, along with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle, will rise to advocate for the repeal of the unjust and unfair SALT cap and the full restoration of the SALT deduction. There are five basic arguments…

Today we have the opportunity to begin to right a century-old wrong. I rise to support the creation of a Congressional Gold Medal in honor of the Harlem Hellfighters. Thousands of Harlem Hellfighters were African-American soldiers who…

100 years ago, my father was born in a small medieval village in the mountaintops of southern Italy. He came to America as a young boy, and in his St. Dominic's High School senior yearbook, he wrote that his goal in life was ``to become a…

100 years ago my father was born in a small medieval village in the mountaintops of southern Italy. He came to America as a young boy, and in his St. Dominic's High School yearbook, he wrote that his goal in life was to become a real…

The other side of the aisle is peddling a false narrative. This bill is not loaded with pork. It is not a blue State bailout. It is a comprehensive plan to help people crushed by the virus beat the pandemic into the ground and ensure a…

This pandemic has been cruelly uneven. Some people remain unscathed. Wall Street is booming, online retailers are surging, some work remotely with their incomes intact, and some families remain healthy. Yet 17 percent of Americans go to…

As co-chair of the Labor Caucus, I rise in support of the National Apprenticeship Act. The Labor Caucus advocates for America's working men and women, and this legislation helps America's working men and women. You see, America continues…

I support invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. Former Congressman Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor, would often say the veneer of civilization is paper-thin. We are its guardians, and we cannot rest. I was…

I thank Mr. Chairman for his leadership on the CASH Act and also, as he mentioned, on the Ban Surprise Billing Act. It is really amazing the relief we are going to be giving to consumers this year on a bipartisan basis with his leadership…

I thank Chairman Scott for yielding. I rise in support of the National Apprenticeship Act. Since the late 1980s, the Dow Jones has gone up 1,400 percent; GDP has gone up 600 percent; enormous wealth has been created; yet workers' wages…

I thank my dear friend, Chairman Engel. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 809, which, as the chairman mentioned, I authored. This resolution expresses the importance of our country's alliance with the Republic of Korea…

I thank Mr. Castro for yielding. I thank Mr. Smith for his great work on this, and Chairman Blumenauer for the work of the Committee of Ways and Means. And I thank Chairman McGovern as well. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of this…

It was such a great gift and honor when John Lewis would call me like he called many of us, ``my brother,'' to serve on his committee, to ask him to give the closing prayer at this year's National Prayer Breakfast, to travel to Selma with…

I was in district with the Secretary of VA. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 159 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 160. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 965, 116TH CONGRESS Clay (Grijalva) DeSaulnier…

I thank the chairman, the ranking member, and Congressman Smith for their good work and partnership on this issue. I thank Chairman McGovern and Speaker Pelosi for their leadership on all issues of human rights. Madam Speaker, I rise in…
