A lot of Republicans today have no experience in government. They don't have much knowledge of history and they're just trying to become social media stars.

Well, it's sad to see that Members of Congress have gotten to this low level. They don't understand history. They don't understand the Holocaust.

If we can't fully account for one of the worst incidents of racial violence in the United States, then who are we as a people and what does this country actually stand for?

I plan to introduce the Interstate Rail Compacts Advancement Act of 2021.

High-speed rail and intercity passenger rail are safer forms of travel than automobile usage.

Connecting more Americans to each other via passenger rail will provide a low emission alternative to driving and flying.

Passenger rail is an essential connection for millions of Americans.

Judge Jackson has seen information that shows he lied to the American public when he released the Mueller report.

What we saw yesterday in an opinion from Judge Amy Berman Jackson about the President's conduct that was hidden from us by the attorney general who lied to the Congress and lied to the American public about the Mueller report is the house…

They not only hurt Black people, Brown people, and indigenous people, but they also hurt poor White people.

So we at least have a shot at winning.

It is time that we, as the people's House, rise to this threat to our democracy and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
