As a Catholic, my faith, and the love for others that we preach, I have to support the freedom for women to make a deeply personal and private decision about their own healthcare.

If Samuel Alito tells you they are not coming for you, just remember this is a Supreme Court majority that lied to Congress and lied to the American people.

To those who think, those in America who believe that my extreme MAGA colleagues aren't coming for you, they are coming for you.

I think the current budget system lends itself to doing that.

I would not support just zero.

Educating the next generation of maritime workers is a huge priority of mine, and this is a bipartisan effort.

I am here today to request Members of the Budget Committee do what it can to maintain the strong funding levels championed by the President for this critical program.

I, too, think that Dr. Schrier is a great addition to the Congress, and I thank her and your committee for acting swiftly on our baby formula crisis.

It is about taking the healthcare services to the underserved and hard-to-reach communities, and it will be a great addition to services in my district.

I have spoken to Secretary Becerra, and he hopes to come down and help me bring the issue of the uninsured and sites in several areas.

Well, thank you, Madam Chair. And any time you want to come to Houston, I would certainly invite you during our great Rodeo Week.

Madam Chair, as you are well aware, women's healthcare is under attack in Texas.

This is incredibly alarming, and that is why many of my appropriation requests this year revolved around healthcare and creating jobs where employees could attain high-quality health insurance.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you again.

I co-led with my colleague, Representative Scott Peters, requesting $65 million in funding for the NASA space grant program.

Managing it effectively is your responsibility.

It is clear to me that the Federal government is not prepared, not even close.
