I could not keep quiet. I had to tell the truth about what happened to me. I had to sound the alarm.

Yes, they’re trying to criminalize our bodies. Yes, they’re trying to move toward states’ rights. And we all know what states’ rights means.

Everything is political. We have to organize, we have to mobilize, and we have to make these senators now and Republican women -- the public supports a woman`s right to reproductive freedom.

We have to educate the public about voter participation and civic engagement, because otherwise, we`re going to end up with what word it looks like.

We have to organize, organize, organize, and elect candidates who are going to support a woman’s right to privacy.

It’s critically important that they step up now and do that, because this is not only affecting black and brown women, it’s not only affecting women who are registered Democrats, this is affecting all women, Republican women also.

if the nanny state had a mascot, it would be the Federal Trade Commission. In fact, back in the 1970s, the FTC earned the nickname the ``National Nanny''--this, after it went on a rulemaking binge, one that triggered an unprecedented…

Orrin G. Hatch will be remembered for many things. His 42 years of service in this body are marked by successes; historic and prolific legislation; and, of course, statesmanship. He served longer as a U.S. Senator than any other in the…

today, I rise to share my concerns with the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Let me begin my remarks by noting that I have enjoyed getting to know Judge Jackson. My…

it is imperative to make this transition, and obviously, time is of the essence.

I am proud to represent Las Vegas in Southern Nevada, which is the epicenter of our country's creative and cultural economies.

My State is not alone in facing a mental health crisis, especially as a result of this pandemic.

I represent Nevada, and over 80 percent of our land is federally controlled, which means that tribal collaboration and participation in Federal lands management is such an important issue in my State.

I personally have been pleased to see the Biden administration's commitments on this front with the Tribal Homelands Initiative and Secretary Haaland's new Tribal Advisory Committee.

the Water levels in Lake Meade became so low that one of the intakes responsible for supplying the entire Las Vegas Valley with water is now visible above the lake surface, so this is long past an emergency.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Yes, this is obviously an important issue in our State, where we have many opportunities for this type of development.

I think this is an exciting body of research and looking forward to that.

I have been the beneficiary of many of those programs and being able to enjoy them in our community.

It is the worst drought that this region has seen in 12 centuries, and honestly, too many children in my district don't even--have not lived a life without it.

Maybe there is a way where we can prioritize projects that have the funding, are sort of shovel ready, and get them out the door to ease up some of this backlog.

It is great to see you, Madam Secretary, and as mentioned here by many people, thank you for taking the time to come visit my district and our State.

So I would like to know, in terms of your views, on the development of the implementation of this congressional directive with regard to children and the interagency council.

I am wondering do we have new guidelines? Because we want alternatives to suspension and disciplinary actions that would allow--that would force kids out of school.
