Washington’s failed 'free trade' consensus... had constituted a 'race to the bottom' that 'hollowed out our industrial power' and 'cost us good jobs.'

I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Casar) for his comments. Mr. Speaker, if you want to respect hard work, you have to respect the people who do that hard work. That is at the core of this, and respecting the labor movement is so…

I thank the gentleman from Rhode Island for his comments. He gets it, and this is not some hypothetical problem. We are living through the cost of losing and what it is to see the chaos and harm that comes from it. The Democratic Party has…

I thank the gentleman from New York for his fight and his stiff spine in this. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Magaziner), who knows how to take on a good fight and win one.

I thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut not just for joining us today but for her long commitment to dignity in work, for fighting for people, for better trade policy, and so much else. I am honored now to welcome in a colleague from…

This is a huge upset and an historic win for a Democrat in a Trump-won district, and we are leading the way in PA!

This is an outrageous national security breach and heads should roll.

We're up for this fight.

People should expect their government to always fight for them, their representatives to fight for them.

My point is, we have got to pass the darn bill.

We need to make sure workers have sufficient time to perform proper safety inspections.

My constituents saw a toxic fireball fly over their houses after this derailment, one that shouldn't have happened.

I introduced the Railway Safety Act last March. It is one of those bills--I think maybe the only--that both former President Trump and President Biden have supported.

I refuse to let my constituents be treated like collateral damage in the way of railroad profits.

Do you trust the big railroads to regulate themselves?

I think any American who sees that comes home and says, 'Why can't we have something like this?'

I think that excuse is gone. I am--again, I am excited to see that there are folks here in both parties who want to work together to get this done.

I think what we saw in this derailment and in conduct thereafter is they cannot be trusted.

It seems to me the railroad wanted to get the trains moving again, putting their profit, their lust for profit above the safety of my constituents.

I find it unacceptable. It didn't need to happen. And I think the question is, why?

Today, I want to congratulate Sister Linda Yankoski, CEO of the Holy Family Institute, on being recognized as a Pittsburgh Business Times Women of Influence and receiving their Career Achievement award. It is an honor justly earned for her…

There are folks that will help you do this for free. It is not just the VFW.

I think we should get veterans we should be investing in VA so the veterans are getting that better care.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for your commitment to helping solve a crisis in our veterans community.

I want to see Federal law not be standing in the way of pursuing treatment that could be safe or that you are finding is safe and effective.
