We have a right to our data and a right to know how it's used and accessed, especially by large corporations and law enforcement.

This move cynically weaponizes a deeply rooted history and tradition of little protective liberty and vast inequality to eradicate the modern jurisprudence of American liberty and equality.

America is less free than it was just a few years ago. The Supreme Court is attacking our freedoms.

I thank Mr. Green, and I know Glen is looking down very proud of your words tonight and the difference it is going to make to those who are watching. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Manning), a very…

I thank the gentlewoman for her words and her tremendous support of the LGBTQ+ community. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green), my friend, a member of the Equality Caucus, a strong and consistent advocate for the…

I thank the gentleman for his words and for the example that he set. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Stevens), my friend, a member of the Equality Caucus, and an incredibly strong advocate for the LGBTQ+…

I thank the gentleman for his very powerful words and for being here tonight. As Congressman Moulton was speaking, I was thinking of Congressman Pappas, because Congressman Pappas has been a great champion for veterans. He serves as a…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan for his thoughtful words. I also want to mention that some of my colleagues earlier in the debate said creating this is going to create a fear of shooting. That is what Democrats are really up to, and…

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean), an important member of the House Judiciary Committee.

Something is fundamentally broken when the vast majority of Americans are demanding this action, and the Republicans in the Senate still prevent it from happening.

No one should vote for a candidate who is not committed to doing everything in their power to reduce gun violence in this country and to pass commonsense gun safety proposals.

The American people are begging their elected officials to do something to protect them from the scourge and the ravages of gun violence in our country.

Spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights. You know who didn't have due process? You know who didn't have their constitutional right to life respected? The kids at Parkland, and Sandy Hook, and Uvalde, and Buffalo, and the list…

Stop saying nothing in this legislation would change anything. That is a lie. That is not true. It will save lives.

Spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights.

The nation that my Republican colleagues want is terrifying. A handful of unelected, unaccountable, far-right Supreme Court justices encouraging States to seize control of the bodies and decision-making power of women across America.

I trust people to make decisions about their body.

Across America every day, this fundamental right to healthcare is being dismantled by politicians, usually men, pushing false narratives to control women's bodies.

Abortion is healthcare, plain and simple. A person's decision on whether to become a parent is one of the most important that they can make in their life. A woman's decision on whether or not to have an abortion should be hers alone…

We need to incentivize investment in the United States and discourage outsourcing.

We need to update and modernize our antitrust laws, and then, give enforcers the resources they need to stop anticompetitive conduct and ensure the marketplace is competitive.

We should have a robust protectionist trade policy that protects the American people from concentrations of power and protects the international system on which we depend for promoting a peaceful international set of democracies.
