Adequate investment in cybersecurity has been lacking, and more resources are needed.

This assessment would specifically gather data about the quantity and location of publicly accessible level-two charging stations and DC fast-charging stations.

I will introduce the State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act, which would authorize $500 million in annual grants.

It is time for bold action rooted in robust partnerships between the Federal Government and its State, local, and private-sector partners.

The transition to electric vehicles presents us with the opportunity to tackle these disparities head on by decreasing air pollution.

I am very optimistic about the opportunities we have before us to fully electrify our Nation's transportation sector.

History has shown us very clearly that, unless we act with intentionality and purpose, the communities who have most to gain from a clean transportation sector will also be the last to receive the least amount of benefit.

We also need to be thinking about how we can reduce emissions from refrigerated trucks that transport our food and medications, including our vaccines.

One major tool already at the EPA's disposal is the DERA program, which has been used very effectively for vehicles like schoolbuses to lower harmful emissions and improve air quality at the heavily impacted communities.

Cleaning up emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, in particular, is long overdue for the communities living adjacent to highways, ports, freight hubs, with a predominantly low-income--with predominantly low-income communities and…

After 4 years of systemic witnessing--of witnessing a systemic attempt to dismantle our Nation's environmental infrastructure and protections, it is nice to finally see a budget proposal that prioritizes our environment and the well-being…

It is time that we assess the current state of U.S. immigration policies and support the Biden administration's efforts to increase capacity to shelter these unaccompanied children in a humane way.

They took advantage of at least 5 million consumers from 1997 to 2013, including 250,000 people in my home State of New York.

Putting money back in people's pockets who have been defrauded or scammed seems like a no-brainer to me, and I hope we act expeditiously to pass this legislation into law.

The FTC's 13(b) cases are vital to protecting communities of color from not only dishonest business practices but also abhorrent and illegal racial discrimination.

I want to thank you for holding this hearing. My colleague Tony Cardenas, thank you for your leadership.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 126. members recorded pursuant to house resolution 8, 117th congress Allred (Wexton) Barragan (Beyer) Cardenas (Gallego) Costa (Correa) Crenshaw (Fallon) Donalds (Cammack)…

I am just concerned that, you know, we don't have a conflict of interest and we are not getting to the root of the challenges being faced within the Department of Homeland Security, in particular the IG's office.

Congresswoman Yvette Clarke's proposal for a just--for a climate justice working group represents an important step forward.

We really can't even talk about climate change without talking about racial justice.

Make no mistake about it, the climate crisis is happening right now, and its impacts are being felt most profoundly by marginalized communities throughout this Nation.

I called for public comment for the discussion draft of my bill, the Civil Rights Modernization Act of 2021.

I couldn't agree with you more about the need for us to build out a 21st century public health infrastructure.

As our Nation battles with interrelated crises around COVID-19, the economy, racial injustice, and climate change, I believe we have a unique opportunity to meet the magnitude of this moment with bold legislation that will finally lay the…
