For providing healthcare to people who need it no matter what

I rise today to demand answers, answers from the Department of Education and the Office of Management and Budget. Today, it is July 22, and the Trump administration continues to withhold more than $5 billion in critical K-12 and adult…

The proposed elimination of the Women’s Bureau and termination of grants that support women in the workforce is a total betrayal of women across the country.

When we have this information, it helps us pass policies.

If they bring a bill forward to eliminate the Women’s Bureau, we will fight it with everything we have.

You can see women getting good jobs to turn their lives around.

in their big, ugly bill, Republicans are once again trying to rip away clean energy tax credits, one of the most effective job-creating tools we ever had. Thousands of workers, many in rural and coastal counties in my home State of Oregon…

I rise to condemn the House GOP's rescission request that would take back $9.4 billion in Federal funding Congress appropriated for foreign aid, the State Department, and public media. We know how devastating the loss of this funding would…

The Republicans' big, bad bill is cruel, coldhearted, and completely unnecessary. It is not even fiscally responsible. It is actually going to add to the deficit. This massive bill, which is more than a thousand pages, was and is being…

I rise today to condemn in the strongest terms the attack by DOGE on the Women's Bureau at the Department of Labor, the only Federal agency representing women in the workforce. Last week, Elon Musk's unelected, unqualified, inept team at…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in strong opposition to the SAVE Act. This bill will make it more difficult to register to vote, and it will prevent millions of American citizens, including married women who change their…

In Kansas, more than 30,000 U.S. citizens, 12 percent of everyone seeking to register to vote, were barred from voting. Other States have tried. In all of them, a significant number of citizens have been wrongly barred from voting. It is…

As someone who has dedicated years of my career to education striving to create a better future for children, I find it disturbing and ironic that my colleagues in the majority pass bills that they say are to protect students but, in fact…

It is all over the news this morning. In just a few hours, it is expected that Donald Trump will sign an executive order to shut down the Department of Education. I condemn that in the strongest possible terms. This will slash support for…

Last week, I had five townhall meetings across northwest Oregon in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Not one person, not one of the thousands who attended, asked me to support a budget that cuts Medicaid, gives tax breaks to the…

Recently an Oregonian told me that his young daughter and her friends, especially her Hispanic friends, are scared at school. They are kids that are at school to learn. Then I learned why they are scared. I rise today to strongly condemn…

I thank Congressman Tonko for his leadership on this important issue. I have been on the Committee of Science, Space, and Technology since I joined Congress 13 years ago, Mr. Speaker. It has been so inspiring to meet and hear from some of…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Oregon has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Republicans fearmonger about the trans community to divert attention from the fact they have no real solutions to help everyday Americans.

Reclaiming my time. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).

May I please inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Moore of North Carolina). The gentlewoman from Oregon has 8 minutes remaining.

In light of the comment that the gentleman from Michigan, who is managing the time on the other side of the aisle, made about birth certificates, I want to remind my colleagues that in the discussion on a similar bill, we had a…

I also include in the Record a letter from Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, which reads in part: ``On behalf of the 1.8 million members of the AFT, I write to urge you to oppose H.R. 28, the so-called…
