So, Mr. Wise, I just wanted to give you a little bit more of a chance to talk also about your colleagues.

I am from Seattle. I proudly represent the district that passed the highest minimum wage in the country.

none of that would be possible without the work of people like Mr. Wise and all of the people that are in the room that have been on the streets, that have been in your employer's workplaces demanding a $15 minimum wage.

the Trump tax cuts increased the deficit. Clearly, they didn't pay for themselves.

the testimony that we continue to hear is simply not accurate.

The reality is you all are putting this issue on the map, and I am so deeply grateful for that.

I am proud to be from Washington State where we have consistently passed some of the most sweeping gun reform pieces of legislation.

Every day we know 109 people are killed by gun violence.

The whole point of the act was to make sure that the American decisionmakers and government officials and the public weren't subjected to foreign propaganda without at least knowing that it was foreign propaganda.

There seem to be some indication that people are trying to say that we are somehow inflating the concerns about voter suppression.

This is indeed a great day that we get to have a hearing on a bill that really seeks to restore Americans' faith in our democracy.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ____. None of the funds made…

Let me just say how pleased I am that we are on the same page, that disaster relief funding should go to disaster relief; it should not go to expanding detention beds, which are already oversubscribed. So I hope that the other side will be…

I am going to yield to my colleague in just a second. But this should be easy to vote for because you yourself said there is nothing in here that provides funding for detentions. So I look forward to seeing the gentleman vote for my…

My amendment would simply make clear to the Department of Homeland Security that these funds, which Congress is specifically dedicating to the Coast Guard's environmental remediation efforts as a result of hurricane damage, cannot be…

It has been an open secret for too long that Representative Steve King of Iowa has made his trade in saying and pushing fundamentally racist and unacceptable ideas. While I am glad that my colleagues on the other side are speaking out and…

All of us, whether African American, people of color, immigrants, we are not other categories of people. We are not somebody else. We are America, all of us. The terrible truth is that racism and xenophobia escalates when racism and white…

I am prepared to close. I have no further speakers. Mr. Speaker, I would just say that we are incredibly proud to be, hopefully, passing this legislation tonight with such bipartisan support and reminding the world that the United States…

I am proud to yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), my colleague, the sponsor of this bill, and a great fighter for human rights. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from…

I wanted to again reiterate my thanks to both Congressman Guthrie and Congresswoman Bonamici, and urge support of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 16, line 13, strike ``(iv) through (xii), respectively'' and insert ``(v) through (xiii)…

I appreciated my colleague from Texas's remarks on our trip to the border.

This is what it takes to have a debate on the floor about family separation. It is outrageous that my Republican colleagues are playing pure politics with a resolution that does absolutely nothing to address the most pressing crisis before…

I appreciate the gentleman's remarks, and I did mention that I appreciated that there was more allocated than the President's budget. I think the magnitude of the problem that we are dealing with and the hundreds of thousands of lives that…
