And still I rise. I rise today to defend a woman's right to choose. I rise to say that I am totally, completely, and absolutely opposed to Senator Graham's bill. I rise to say that Senator Graham's bill would deny a woman the right to…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding time, and I say to the gentlewoman that it has been a preeminent privilege to serve with her for lo these many years; indeed, superlative pleasure. I miss you already. Thank you for what you are doing…

To my friends across the aisle: Where were you when your twice impeached President was putting billions of dollars in the pockets of the wealthy? You complain about drug prices being reduced for seniors, complain about them having…

My concern is with the predatory purchasing and how it is impacting the housing market.

I am concerned because at a hearing under the leadership of the Honorable Maxine Waters, one of the things that I discussed at the hearing was a concept known as predatory purchasing.

We can't let the government dictate physicians and take away their clinical judgment.

And still I rise. And I rise today to call upon the Governor of the State of Texas to denounce the coverup by the pusillanimous peace officers at Robb Elementary. If you have seen that video and it does not tug at your heart, you need…
