The Constitution that we have fought for, the Constitution that we helped build around, the reality of that, America has never been about a supreme race, it has always been about the many.

We must stop what we`re seeing on January 6th, because if we don`t address not only those who were out there, but everyone who participated in planning and carrying out that insurrectionist, treasonous act.

What we`ve seen on January 6th was an insurrection. That insurrection was based on white supremacy.

Congress works best when Members wade into areas that they understand and that they have taken the time to fully comprehend.

Food is a national security issue, and it is something that all Americans probably should pay more attention to than they do.

There has been a tremendous amount of bipartisanship. There is a legitimate search for policy solutions.

Not only are the signs hopeful, not only has this been a great hearing, but to the extent that we can continue those four major concepts of bipartisanship, search for truth, passion, and knowledge, I think the outlook is going to be better…

We must get the type of public policy in place to protect the rights of voters, from Georgia of Texas to Arizona back to Michigan.

Railroad hauls 40 percent of America's long-haul freight, but it makes up only 2 percent of our transportation-based emissions. Now, unfortunately, the INVEST in America Act tells freight railroads that they need to replace all of their…

Fifty million, Madam Speaker. The WHO estimates that 50 million abortions are performed each year. It is a soul-rending number. Of course, abortion is a deeply divisive legal, political, and moral dispute, but despite that fact, for 45…

if there is any barrier that Congress can remove to allow all of you to enact that extraordinary effort, please know that we stand ready to listen to your pleas and respond, because business as usual is simply not going to get this done.

What Mitch McConnell and the senators in the Republican Party is doing now is trying to impede and subvert democracy.

We have to break that filibuster because democracy is on trial.

By showing you they`re not going to investigate what happened January 6th is saying they don`t care about our democracy because Donald Trump don`t want them to care about our democracy.

Protecting voter rights is not a partisan issue. This is not about Democratic versus Republican. This is about protecting the Constitution, and the right to vote.

I mentioned earlier that there is no doubt this bill did go through more regular order than we have been used to over the last decade. But I think we also demonstrated that the massiveness of this bill, close to a quarter trillion dollars…

reserving the right to object, the sponsors and managers of this bill have made the point that this piece of legislation has followed regular order, and I will admit, versus how things have been passed in the last 10 years since I have…

there was a time--and it really wasn't all that long ago--when securing the border had bipartisan support. It was actually a bipartisan goal--now, I think that made a lot of sense-- but it is not now. It also wasn't all that long ago that…

I ask for a minute to respond. First of all, let me reiterate--the dollars will be spent regardless. The dollars would be completely wasted and no wall whatsoever. Of course, this reconsideration of their policies--we can already see the…

I urge this Committee to continue to examine these important issues and not leave cattlemen behind in discussions.

The pandemic has put enormous strain on our local FSA offices.

I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member. This is an incredibly important issue that I am looking forward to addressing with the Committee.

We have to get these offices opened back up. This Committee has a constitutional duty to do oversight.
