Deforestation has surged to record highs as the Government has rolled back environmental protection mechanisms.

Yet when I'm home in my district... I hear over and over again from patients who are finding that they are struggling to afford insulin.

We know that nearly a century ago the scientist who discovered insulin... sold the patent for just one dollar as a gift to society.

I believe that collaboration with our democratic allies is a key to maintaining national and global security.

Obviously any attack on U.S. troops is unacceptable and demands a response. But it also seems important that Congress be consulted in formulating that response.

These challenges are real. And those of us in positions of power must take them seriously.

It protects workers with known limitations related to childbirth, because it is time that we recognize that mental health conditions like postpartum depression are real and tangible medical conditions. Madam Speaker, I thank leadership…

I thank my colleague across the aisle, Mr. Van Drew, for supporting this very important piece of legislation. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support H.R. 8162. It is legislation that will provide vital…

America stands up for the most vulnerable and there is no more vulnerable place in the world, I would argue, than the African continent.

Most small employers, 73 percent, offer PTO to the majority of their full-time employees.

We have ended up funding dividends to shareholders and increased executive pay and we haven't seen that money going back into the workers' pockets.

What you are going to have is that people are going to stay away from that small deli because they are going to think, well, I don't know if their employees are going to work sick or not.

If we don't have a one-size-fits-all employers standard for paid sick leave in this country, how do we reassure the public in times like these?

I am deeply concerned that we are the only highly developed country without a paid sick leave policy.

Sometimes lost in this era of hyper partisanship is the good work that Democrats and Republicans do in this Foreign Affairs Committee every day.

I reject the notion that most employees who avail themselves of FMLA are acting in bad faith.

In a country that touts the importance of family values, I am consistently amazed at how unfamily friendly our laws are.
