I think you will really appreciate everything that happens there.

I look forward to once again working with Ranking Member Comer, Ranking Member Foxx, and of course Chairman Scott, and all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to advance a robust Older Americans Act reauthorization bill this year.

We are in a position to advance a reauthorization of the Older Americans Act that will allow millions of Americans across the country to age with dignity.

We must recommit to providing basic services and compassionate care to vulnerable members of our communities.

We can help stop this cycle of disinvestment which is eroding the original purpose of the Older Americans Act.

Seven out of 10 students at 2 year colleges and 6 out of 10 students at 4 year colleges experience some food or housing insecurity over the course of a single year.

We do need that underlying information what you considered because, again, some of the information was false.

We expressed concern that the Department's decision was based, at least in part, on erroneous and misleading information.

Did you know that the stress of harassment and discrimination can lead to lower attendance and grades as well as depression and anxiety for transgender students?

A budget is a Statement of priorities and values and I worked hard on the Every Student Succeeds Act and I am deeply disappointed that the President's budget would zero out funding for Title IV Part A grants.

To these individuals, we see you. We affirm you. And we are here to fight alongside you to make sure that all Americans have the freedom to be who we are.

I look forward to working with my colleagues to reaffirm our commitment to civil rights and to forge a country where everyone has the right to be who they are free from discrimination.

It is our responsibility, now, today, it is time to make clear that all Americans should be able to have full confidence in their rights regardless of who they love, or who they are, or how they identify.

The guarantee of protections for LGBTQ Americans was only a matter of time.
