As a pediatrician, parent, and grandmother, and someone whose personal life has been affected by gun violence, I urge you to stand up for those killed or injured by gun violence.

Just wanted to find out how the schools, how you see the trauma that many of our young people now are experiencing as a result of, say, gun violence in many of our communities.

I want to thank all of our witnesses. This is such an important, important meeting, hearing to really secure the future for our young people in the country.

If a kid is going to be expelled, it is going to be for the right reason, which I can't, for the life of me, determine what the right reason would be to expel a child.

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.

Our intent, though, is that we establish a national pilot program that could expand the efforts of this program to integrate healthcare, regenerative agriculture, economics, and the environment to improve health and racial equity and food…

This is an example of what we call monopoly capitalism where only four companies own actually 90 percent of the market.

For the life of me, initially when I heard about this baby formula shortage, I asked myself how could this happen in the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world.

Beatty cares about the health and safety of everybody, everybody. And in this COVID environment we should be applauding her for trying to protect everybody's health.

I think we heard yesterday the president come forward very forcefully and talk about the fact that we have got to pass this, and we`ve got to pass these two bills right away. I support ending the filibuster.

Well, first of all, we see what`s taking place and what accommodated January 6th just in the terms of the efforts of the insurrectionists who almost thwarted the peaceful transfer of power in an attempted coup. And so, it`s extremely…

And let me just say what we have done in the House, led by Congresswoman Judy Chu, the women`s health production -- excuse me -- Women`s Health Protection Act. We have passed that over into the Senate. And, hopefully, the Senate will pass…

She was a fighter for education. She loved children. And she was always happy. She was -- but she was fighting as she was happy. She was very optimistic. She was a fighter for voting rights, for civil rights, for women`s rights.

When we fight, we win. And so, regardless of the Senate`s composition, we have got to make sure that all of those who are on the fence or who don`t want women`s reproductive freedom and want access to the full range of health care…

I have to have hope. I have to be optimistic. And this is about organizing. It`s about political action. And I have to salute our young women, our women of color. We have organized around the country with our activists. We will be out in…

This is about -- Joy, about one’s own health care decisions. Whether you believe or not believe in abortion, that’s not the issue. The issue is a person having the right to make their own decisions about their own lives.

I`m compelled to speak out because of the real risks of the clock being turned back to those days before Roe vs. Wade, to the days when I was a teenager and had a back-alley abortion in Mexico. I was one of the lucky ones, Madam Chair. A…

This is an inflection moment. This is the time when we have to fight on all fronts for our rights on so many efforts -- in so many efforts.

This boils down to a political struggle. We`re in a war. This is a fight for our lives. This is a fight for our freedom.

Women`s lives are at stake. And, you know, women, people all over the country are sick and tired of our lives being in jeopardy in so many ways.

In an economy where currency and circulation isn't backed up by any tangible object and where the government has effectively the ability to just print more money, even if that currency happens to be the world's reserve currency, at some…

Now, we have seen, with--our status as the United States having the world's reserve currency, the U.S. dollar, has given us some flexibility in that area, flexibility that other countries like Greece haven't had. Do you think there is some…
