We are talking about minerals that the American public owns that the oil and gas industry extracts and then sells back to us at inflated prices.

The Rhode Islanders who I talk to are so disappointed in this Congress. They sent us here to fight to make their lives better, not to play political games, like the sham impeachment push that House Republicans are making against the…

I want to be clear what we are talking about here. We are not talking about ordinary shoplifting committed by individuals working alone.

I am proud to have signed on as a cosponsor to Representative Titus and Representative Buck's Combatting Organized Retail Theft Act.

We applaud Representative Titus as an original sponsor and Ranking Member Magaziner for his support of the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (H.R. 895).

It is important that we get to the root of the problem of organized retail crime to keep people safe and lower costs for everyone across the country.

Many of us have heard from retailers concerned by organized retail crime, and so today's hearing is for us to explore the scope of the problem and determine best how to respond.

Every child deserves access to a high- quality education, but House Republicans are proposing harmful cuts that would close the doors of opportunity for millions of children. At a time when we are facing a nationwide teacher shortage…

I believe in your opening statements, our witnesses verified that assessment today.

Racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremists present the greatest terror threats to our country.

The people of Rhode Island's First Congressional District have elected a Representative with the character, the credentials, and the commitment to be an effective Member of this body from day one. As one of the original 13 States, Rhode…

A strong leader and the President of the United States or a Member of Congress would condemn it in no uncertain terms, not say: Fine people on both sides.

I am here to speak in opposition to Representative Boebert's bill, H.R. 6009.

There should be investigations as the House language calls, but I would hope that the House in this particular provision stands by its guns during the conference that's now under way.

We, as a Congress, have a responsibility to make sure that kind of intelligence failure does not happen again.

I commend the Biden administration for trying to change that, for trying to tip the scales at least a little bit in the direction of working people.

It is in America's national security interest to be a good partner to those nations in Africa who are aligned with our values.

Terrorist attacks are increasing across the continent of Africa, making this a critical and timely oversight topic for this committee.

Perhaps because they are so concerned, they will reconsider the budget bill that they are trying to move that would cut $436 million from the National Park Service, a 13 percent cut from last year.

So, slashing funding from public parks and the National Park Service, opening up protected land to oil and gas drilling, privatization. This is not how you protect national parks, which I am glad to hear my colleagues care so deeply about.
