I thank the chairwoman, the ranking member, and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Moran) for bringing the Jenna Quinn act forward. It is so important. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Jenna Quinn act, a crucial piece of legislation…

Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 501. ____________________

There are only 2 weeks left of this Congress and I, along with many of my colleagues, want to use that time to do useful things that will actually help the American people. Instead, House Republicans and Speaker Johnson have us debating…

Instead of wasting time with messaging bills that have no chance of becoming law, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans should be taking steps that would actually solve problems for the American people. Please put the Right to IVF Act on…

I do not want the American public or anyone else to think that Mr. Guest's characterization of what transpired today would be some sort of indication that the committee had unanimity or consensus on this issue not to release the report…

I believe there will be a unanimous Democratic consensus that it should be released.

Today, I rise to honor one of my constituents, Jared Isaacman, who made history earlier this month as the first nonprofessional astronaut to walk in space, as part of the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission. While in space, the crew conducted…

On Sunday, I attended the funeral of Jacob Ellis, who devastatingly passed away at the age of 15 after a brief but vicious course of cancer. Jacob lived his all-too-brief life to the fullest, volunteering with local animal shelters…

I am grateful to the gentlewoman from Connecticut for convening us this evening to discuss an issue that affects every corner of our Nation: food insecurity. In blue, red, and purple districts alike, too many families struggle to afford…

228 days. That is how long it has been since scores of people were violated, maimed, tortured, and killed in Israel. It has been 228 days since 252 people, including children and the elderly, were abducted from Israel into Gaza. Yesterday…

Legislation such as the National Labor Relations Act, the NLRA, and the PRO Act, which I supported, aim to ensure fairness and stability in labor relations.

For over a century, unions have been the backbone of the American workforce, advocating for workers to have fair wages, and safe working conditions, and reasonable hours.

The law does not inherently favor unions, rather it attempts to strike a balance between the interests of workers and employers.

Research shows that 75 percent of employers force workers to attend captive audience meetings to listen to anti-union speeches by management.

Our teachers do not get nearly enough love. Well, maybe during COVID they did when students were all at home, and parents and families suddenly realized just how important those teachers were, but not before or since and not nearly enough…

Before we begin, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that as of today, Florida's cruel and inhumane 6-week abortion ban has taken effect. Attacks on women's basic reproductive freedom have not and will not stop. While days like today…

I think it is really important that people understand more about the independent contractor rule.

Earlier this month, our community lost a giant with the passing of Anthony Koury, a longtime deacon of Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Easton, Pennsylvania. For more than 60 years, he served Our Lady of Lebanon as an altar…

I apologize for the occasional lack of civility.

As the lead Democrat on H.R. 4723, I rise in strong support of this bill. The United States, working alongside Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia, crafted a tenuous diplomatic settlement to end the fighting and keep the peace in Balkans in the…

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H. Res. 1068. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman's request is granted. ____________________

I am honored to be joining the gentlewoman from El Paso, Texas, to address one of the most pressing issues facing our Nation: our broken immigration system. I am from Pennsylvania. We are not a border State, but I hear an awful lot about…

This legislation would criminalize the taxes, registration fees, and customs duties that humanitarian organizations operating in Houthi-controlled areas are required to pay.
