Nearly 8 percent of teachers leave their profession each and every year, double the rate in countries like Canada.

We are spending huge amounts of money locking people up in this country, and they leave prison without the skills they need to succeed in the civilian world.

It is insane to spend whatever it is, $60,000, $80,000 a year locking somebody up when for less money, we can try to educate them, give them the training they need to become productive citizens.

We hear a lot of talk about freedom in this body, freedom to do what you want to do, and yet right now we are living at a time when half of our population or more has lost that freedom.

The American people believe it is women, not the government that has a right to control their own body.

No longer would state governments be able to tell women what they could or could not do with their own bodies.

Two years ago, six Supreme Court justices all nominated by Republican Presidents, decided to overturn Roe v. Wade abolish the constitutional right for women to have an abortion and to give politicians in state government the right to…

It is no secret to anyone, that throughout our Country's history, women have had to fight for their basic human rights against all forms of patriarchy and sexism, no great secret.

We must ensure that the private practice of dentistry is protected.

I thank you for the opportunity to testify before you on behalf of the Academy of General Dentistry.

It is unacceptable to me that only a third of our Nation's dentists provide care to people who are on Medicaid.

We've got to understand that if we're going to seriously address the mental crisis in America, Congress is going to have to act and act boldly.

The lack of affordable dental care in America is a problem all over our Country, but it is especially acute for lower income Americans, pregnant women, people with disabilities, veterans, those who live in rural communities and Black…

It is unacceptable to me that 67 percent of rural communities in America are designated as dental professional shortage areas.

Many dentists no longer treat lower income people who are on Medicaid.

Poll after poll suggests that the American people want an immediate cease fire. They want massive humanitarian aid to get in.

The Foreign Assistance Act is very, very clear – 6201, the provision – any entity, any state, any country that blocks U.S. humanitarian aid is in violation of law and should not continue to receive military aid from the United States.

It is absurd to provide Israel with 2,000-pound bombs that could level an entire square block in the midst of Rafah which is an incredibly densely populated area.

Israel has broken international law. It has broken American law. And in my view, Israel should not be receiving another nickel in U.S. military aid.

The American people want an immediate cease fire and they do not want more U.S. military aid going to the war machine.

The goal is to defeat Hamas, but not to destroy or cause the enormous amount of destruction that we're now seeing in Gaza.
