I think what Maxine Waters says was that we should confront the system that's created, the individuals have to being out there to protest.

On April 9, La Soufriere volcano on the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent began a series of explosive eruptions. The volcano has erupted several times since that date. The eruptions have blanketed the island nation with clouds of volcanic…

During times of crisis and upheaval, societies have a unique opportunity to reimagine themselves, to fix wrongs, and to make themselves better than they were previously. The pandemic of 1917 created the Roaring Twenties. The aftermath of…

The American people need the certainty to count on stable and strong investment in infrastructure.

Supporting the movement of people, goods, and information through our infrastructure is crucial to driving investment in our communities.

It is my primary request that the bill reported out of this committee to implement the American Jobs Plan... will lay the groundwork to do that.

The American Jobs Plan offers us a historic opportunity to build on the Moving Forward Act.

I ask that this include provisions to not only reverse the inequitable funding cuts endured by the Territories for almost 30 years now.

I am asking for one-fifth of a penny for progress, one-fifth of a penny for the people living in the Territory.

I thank Chairman Nadler for his tireless work and the work of so many women of this Caucus, including Speaker Pelosi, to bring this bill to fruition and to bring this bill to the floor. We know, and we all believe, that violence against…

Listen, to have us continually come and beg you for money to be treated equitably is absolutely unfair.

I just wanted to submit for the record--I know that leadership on the committee has received a letter from Governor Bryan of the Virgin Islands.

I am grateful that the committee took action to address the Medicaid cliff in the past to provide an additional stream of Medicaid funds from my home in the Virgin Islands and the other territories.

The consequences of his conduct were devastating on every level. Police officers were left overwhelmed, unprotected. Congress had to be evacuated, our staff barricaded in this building, calling their families to say goodbye.

How dare you say the black lives matter black people do not understand old-fashioned families? Despite some of the issues, some of the things that you have put forward that I have heard out of your mouth in the Oversight Committee, in your…

How dare you say that we are not interested in families in the black community? That is outrageous.

Even just talked about with farmers, we all know that black farmers have been discriminated against in the time, that they have gone from farming larger percentage of farming in America to a minuscule amount and the support that they need…

This month is not only Women's History Month, but it is also Virgin Islands History Month, and what better way to celebrate it than today for me to salute Virgin Islands' native and basketball upcoming star, Aliyah Boston, who had another…
