The pandemic has hemorrhaged the global supply chain. Corporate monopolies have worsened conditions.

I thank Chairwoman Maloney for her tremendous leadership on so many issues, including reproductive rights, and for holding a hearing earlier in her committee on abortion and inviting several of us to testify. I am very proud to be here as…

On average, a worker experiencing minimum wage violations lose about $3,300 in 1 year, more than a month of rent in a city like Seattle.

Wage theft is indefensible, especially, as corporations rake in record profits.

It's important that workers have the right to litigate in court as a group.

I'm proud that the House has passed the ending of Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, my bill with Cheri Bustos.

It's an effective way to quash many of these complaints from workers to be able to get what's fairly owed to them.

Workers' rights are human rights. The labor movement has shown us what is possible when we dream big and fight hard. Tonight, we will clear yet another hurdle in the battle for workplace safety and dignity. I thank my colleague…

That's why I'm a proud co-sponsor of the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act, which bans these coercive practices against workers fighting to win their hard-earned wages.

The House has passed the women`s health protection act which codifies Roe. We can pass it again. The Senate -- I think it`s very important for the Republican senators who voted for these justices but said that they cared about abortion as…

I speak to you as one of the one in four women in America who have had an abortion. I knew I was not ready to have another child so I religiously took my daily contraceptive pill. Despite that, I became pregnant. I consulted with my…

This overturning Roe v. Wade is way out of step with the country. The polling is anywhere from 59 to 70 percent of Americans, depending on which poll you look at supports maintaining Roe v. Wade.

I found that to be one of the most ludicrous arguments that was being made, because are they saying that by overturning Roe v. Wade, that somehow we're going to have a more cordial discussion around this? That somehow this is going to…

It makes the argument that if something was not designated as a right, actually specified in the Constitution of 200 years ago, than it is not a right today.

I think we should really appeal to them to be on the right side of history and to join us in a carve-out to the filibuster, and then we would have 51 votes.

It's not like banning abortion would get rid of abortions. It would just get rid of safe and legal abortions.

I very much wanted to have more children, but I simply could not imagine going through that again. For me, terminating my pregnancy was not an easy choice, the most difficult I've made in my life, but it was my choice and that is what must…

The horrific Trump separation of at least 5,500 children from their parents, a trauma which they will likely never recover from.

What we need is a humane and just immigration system with legal ways for people to come.

There is no middle ground, no matter your family ties, no matter the decades you've lived and worked in the United States.

Our colleagues have no interest in getting such a system because it is actually too useful for Republicans to not have a functioning system.

You were handed a broken system further decimated by the Trump Administration.

I have a resolution, Roadmap to Freedom resolution, that calls for us to adopt a compliance-based approach.

I am a legal immigrant, and I have no problem with the fact that we need to reform our immigration laws.

The misguided implementation of the title 42 public health law to circumvent existing immigration law was part of that strategy.
