Face recognition technology brings unprecedented power to the FBI that, in my opinion, runs a severe risk of infringing on civil liberties.

I thank the gentlewoman for her incredible leadership. It has been wonderful working with her not just here in this body and in the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which I am proud to co-chair, but for years we have known each other and…

I think we are, you know, the richest country in the history of the world and we spend by far the greatest amount of money on health care, and yet we have such abysmal health outcomes.

Medicare for All is a racial justice issue.

I have been pushing for a universal health care system because I believe it is not out of reach.

We should expect more, that we should demand more, and that we must address the maternal mortality crisis in this country.

We certainly spend enough money that we should be able to do it here.

I thank the gentlewoman from Nevada for her fierce leadership on this. I rise in strong support of this resolution to block Betsy DeVos' callous attempt to rewrite the borrower defense repayment rule. That original rule protected student…

This is a day of accountability and defending our democracy. The facts in front of us are clear: this President, Donald J. Trump, coerced a fragile foreign ally to investigate his political opponent and interfere in our elections. He…

A report that was released yesterday by The Century Foundation calls my Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, which is cosponsored by many on this subcommittee, a model of innovation for other sectors as policymakers consider what laws are…

My Republican colleagues have been putting forward a lot of excuses today, and so I want to go through the ones that we have heard the most.

You cannot argue things both ways. You cannot say that the President was so concerned about Ukraine that he released aid, which is true.

America is a bold vision rooted in a fragile idea of a democracy in which power is derived not from the bloodlines of monarchs but from the votes of people.

Is it ever okay for a President to condition official action on personal gain?

We are talking about the highest constitutional crimes: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

This was personal. It was all for President Trump's personal, political gain.

When I was just 16 years old, I came to this country by myself. My parents made the ultimate sacrifice of placing an ocean between them and their beloved child because they believed that America was worth it.

He cannot use our money, the powers of the office that we entrusted to him, we, the people, not for us, but for himself.

Will any one of my colleagues on the other side say that it is an abuse of power to condition aid, to condition aid, on official acts?

First, any plan that proposes to fix our healthcare crisis has to cover everyone.

We need to ensure that we don't stop with the Affordable Care Act and that we get to the place where we have universal care for all people in our country.

Our Nation's healthcare system is the most expensive in the world.

This is now the fourth historic hearing we have had on Medicare for All in the House of Representatives, and that would not be possible without an enormous movement for Medicare for All.
