We were so excited when we saw the legislation. In fact, we have used it in presentations that we have made.

She`s carrying on where John Conyers left off, but she`s part of a very long line of people who have been in the fight since we had Reconstruction and it failed.

It is difficult to mute when you are getting ready to say yes or no and someone speaks and you did not ask them to speak. But my vote is an aye.

I wanted to emphasize particularly the mental health. I have seen them work in very stressful moments.

I would like to find a way to support the Nonprofit Security Grant Program and still keep some of these important programs that I mentioned that did lose dollars.

I clearly want to provide the sort of support system that FEMA staffing needs.

I believe that the Stafford Act should be modified to allow local communities that are devastated, particularly maybe large urban and large rural areas, to be able to activate the resources that FEMA has.

I believe it is a very important priority for this committee and for me dealing with the Nonprofit Security Grant Programs.

The bill that we passed in the House on COVID testing is languishing in the Republican strangled Senate.

The tax bill or the tax debacle of President Trump at the time, it ignored the stagnation of working-class wages and exacerbated inequality.

If Joe Biden had not been elected and the previous person had been elected, now promoting the Big Lie, we would have been in an enormous disaster.

Trump's tax cuts accelerated gentrification and inequality in Houston.

Putting the responsibility on teachers to carry guns to protect our students is not only irrational. It is unfair.

I believe in the Constitution, and in the Constitution is a Bill of Rights, and the Second Amendment is there.

I wanted to be very sure to be in this committee meeting today.

We're in a crisis of death. We have a war on the children of America.

We need laws to protect people in Texas, federal laws to protect them in Texas.

I believe that we are on the right track. Democrats will get it done.

We’ve got to do everything we can to stop the war on our children, the killing of our children, the slaughter of our children, the carnage of our children.

House Democrats don’t have enough votes to pass that right now, even though they have the majority.

It is because of our work and your work and Chairman Thompson that we have passed this very important reform bill for TSOs and TSA with the civil service structure and with the professionalism.

I take it that, Mr. Administrator, you believe that we are more secure because of your agency and your TSOs, that the Nation is more secure?

Well, clearly I believe that you all are at the forefront of travel and the increase in travel.

This is an important leadership role that Congresswoman Titus is now playing to help this city.

I view the work of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as vital to our Nation's homeland security.
