ICE came to Houston and killed one of our own.

Someone losing their life is a big goddamn deal.

I think they got it right.

A travesty, two lives ruined, and what struck me most is that you had an all-White jury.

The American justice system does not work equally for everybody.

Case after case, after case you see that if it is a young Black person, they're not allowed to be fearful, they're not allowed self-defense, they don't get the same standard ground opportunities that other people get.

Juries should represent the diversity of this country, and if a White kid was convicted of murder and it was an all-Black jury that did the conviction, people would say this is patently unfair.

This technology isn’t going anywhere. I just don’t think this is the main concern at every person’s doorstep.

I think a lot of the people we are seeing emerge in the Democratic Party are millennials and Gen-Z, and we are seeing our generation step into those roles.

Competitive primaries are a good thing, now we are battle-tested, but in November we will be united against the opposition.

We’ve been very hyper-focused on older voters, letting them know that I am more than competent and capable of doing the job, and it’s time to pass the torch.

Now it's time to finish the job.

Greg Abbott put us in a really shitty position.

Republicans have made this hard on purpose. They delayed this election. They drew maps designed to dilute our power.

For decades, Congressman Green has done what so few in public life are willing to do: he has spoken truth to power, directly to their faces, without flinching.

This is your victory, and I will spend every day in Washington making sure it means something.

grocery prices are up. Gas prices are up. Families across this country are choosing between rent and food. What does this administration do? They just created a $1.7 billion fund, not for working people, but for the President's people. The…

I was proud to defend that consent decree. Let's be clear about what this is. If somebody is a threat to the community, they should be in jail, regardless of whether they have a billion dollars or a thousand dollars. If they are not a…

I rise today because the right to vote is under grave attack. The Supreme Court opened the door, and Republican officials throughout the South are running straight through it. Republican State legislatures are racing to redraw…

I rise today to honor one of Houston's and this Nation's great public servants. Ambassador Arthur Schechter ended his journey in life on April 13, at the wise age of 86. He was an attorney, a diplomat, a philanthropist, and one of…

Mr. Speaker, I speak today because Congress must do all it can to end the disparities in Black maternal health outcomes in this country. Moriah Ballard was 22 years old, a Houston woman, who was 7 months pregnant. She was ready. She and…

Over 100 million Americans already live in counties with unhealthy air quality. Air pollution contributes to more than 100,000 premature deaths in this country each and every year. The people in our communities are not abstractions. They…

I was 5 years old in 1993 when Tupac Shakur said: You know, it's funny when it rains it pours They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor. Today, those words feel as real as ever. President Trump, no one wants this war, and the…

when I was 5 years old, Tupac Shakur said: ``You know, it's funny when it rains it pours. They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor.'' Those words hit differently today. Mr. President, nobody wants this war, and the American people…
