The answer is not austerity and reckless deregulation, but rather we've seen so much progress from investing in our future.

Under Democratic leadership the American economy rebounded from the pandemic, achieving record low unemployment and healthy productivity.

Congress should be supporting parents, students, and teachers, not advancing this politics over parents act which would punish teachers for giving history lessons, ban books, and sow hate and divisiveness against trans kids. Parents have…

The average cost of college has more than doubled in the 21st Century, with an annual growth rate of 7 percent.

So instead of attacking this restorative action, I wish that this Committee was focusing on the reasons why low-and middle-class borrowers have such high levels of student debt to start with.

President Biden made the historic choice to propose canceling debt for 16 million low-and middle-income borrowers.

Unfortunately, many of the Congress Members opposing cancellation actually represent districts with the most low-and middle-class borrowers that stand to benefit.

The Republicans introduced the FAST Act, and it simply proposed a cost-benefit analysis of these electronic braking systems.

In fact, Norfolk Southern, among others, said that requiring these brakes was, quote, 'not in the public interest.'

The American people widely support a stock ownership legislation across partisan lines, and they are calling on Congress to act.

Last Congress, Congressman Matt Rosendale and I introduced the Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act.

I would like to address the ethics problems created when Members of Congress own or trade individual stocks.

Last year, an investigation revealed countless violations of the STOCK Act.

As long as Members of Congress are allowed to hold and trade stocks, the door to corruption remains open.

I feel that sadly for-profit colleges have been more interested in using these funds to pay their pockets.

This is a revenge resolution. It is a revenge resolution that seeks to remove Representative Ilhan Omar's strong and necessary voice from the Foreign Affairs Committee. It is an attempt to silence her simply because you do not agree with…

We know that throwing money at the border without also fixing the legal immigration system is not going to be successful.

For four years Donald Trump pursued some of the most inhumane immigration policies as president.

Border security and immigration are two separate topics.

Today my colleagues across the aisle want to go even further than Donald Trump with policies that would effectively end asylum.

After a week of chaos, we now have a rules package for MAGA extremists, attacking our freedoms and every major responsibility of this body--from paying America's bills to funding our government. This package criminalizes abortion by…

I thank Congresswoman Lofgren for her tremendous leadership, not only on this bill, but also on the Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee as our chairwoman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the EAGLE Act. I believe I may be the…

Blatant moral and ethical violations in the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, have eroded America's trust in our system.
