We do not want to just leave everybody else behind.

We must not ignore the growing number of charter schools that are operated by for-profit corporations.

Charter schools are not subject to the same level of oversight and accountability as traditional public schools.

Children, regardless of where they live or how involved their parents are, deserve access to high-quality public education.

Not all charter schools provide students with a quality education.

This is a consumer protection issue, and I am a bit baffled by the argument that I heard on the other side of the aisle that this going to hurt individuals and working families. This is designed to help them.

It is clear from the debate on the bill that what my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to happen is for every pregnant student to stay pregnant with consequences long beyond their time in college. That is why it is so…

As I mentioned in committee, a pregnant student is not just the only one affected. If whomever impregnated the student got some rights and notification about paternity and child support obligations, that might help this information be more…

If my colleagues on the other side of the aisle truly cared about moms, they would join us in addressing the embarrassingly high maternal mortality rate in this country, which is especially concerning for women of color. Mr. Speaker, I…

It is undeniable that we are experiencing an enormous and concerning rise in antisemitism, and other hateful and discriminatory rhetoric, especially on college campuses.

I hope we can all agree that every student has the right to be on a campus where they not only feel safe, but are safe.

Everyone deserves a safe and welcoming workplace.

We are 9 months into this Congress, and many of our colleagues on your side of the aisle continue to focus on culture war issues, rather than working together on bipartisan solutions that support public schools, students, parents, and…

The Politics Over Parents Act because it is essentially a blueprint for book banning.

These censorship laws are being enacted by extreme MAGA politicians under the pretext of parental rights.

Now is not the time to be cutting the EPA budget.

I am really glad we are having a productive and bipartisan conversation about reauthorizing the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act.

You can't hire the workers you need unless women can work, and that's not going to happen unless there's childcare that's affordable.

For a prepared and diverse workforce ready to implement the act, there must be access to high-quality, affordable childcare.

The CHIPS and Science Act is making historic investments in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing in supply chain improvements and in cutting-edge research and development.
