I want to thank you, too, Ms. Gruber.

The request for $80 million to add to the IRS, this is a perfect reason why we ought to do it.

When you spend this much money in the middle of a pandemic and you must push the money out very fast, the fraudsters just show up.

You can't raise them if you ain't there at the table.

So it will be harder. Is that what you are saying?

I think that this entire panel and all of our colleagues on the other side have forgotten that we just lowered the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent.

I thank Mr. Jackson for yielding. I am so happy to be joining him and Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour. Indeed, it is a special honor to talk about our children and what they…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me the time. I also thank Representative Cherfilus-McCormick and Representative Jackson for hosting this Special Order hour. Mr. Speaker, I can tell you that as a member of a family whose relatives and…

Thank you Chairman Graves and Ranking Member Larsen for the opportunity to submit testimony.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Hunter, and thank you, Ranking Member Norcross. We maintain our position from the FY23 budget and that is that the F-22s, the Block 20 specifically, are not combat representative.

I thank Representative Sykes for that very enlightening presentation of the 13 women who have been elected to Congress from the great State of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, we have spoken about most of the women that we have on this poster board…

I thank Representative Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove. Let me just say I knew all of those women from California, and they were California dreams, all of them. I remember when Ambassador Diane Watson became an ambassador, wherever she would…

I thank Representative Manning so much for that eloquent presentation, and I just want to thank the gentlewoman for sticking around and believing that someday we would get around to her. Mr. Speaker, I am so delighted to introduce a new…

I thank Representative Pressley so much, what a great tribute to a great woman. Mr. Speaker, let me say that I am so happy to welcome to the podium another woman who is fairly new, but I tell you, she's a powerhouse and full of energy and…

That was great. I thank Representative Frankel so much for that. I must say that from afar Bella Abzug influenced me. I knew who she was. I knew about her helping to create the feminist movement, and it empowered me as a woman. With regard…

I am so delighted to be joined this evening by women members of the Democratic Women's Caucus. The chairwoman, Lois Frankel, is here with us this evening. Vice Chairs Ayanna Pressley and Kathy Manning and other members of the Democratic…

I do want to make sure that this committee revisits the Earned Income Tax Credit because it is a great program for helping people get out of poverty if it would actually do that.

Low-wage workers are taxed into poverty because of the way the Earned Income Tax Credit is structured.

Also, you did these 30 reports, and you said--you reported that 8 of the 12 studies reviewed discussed whether the benefits discouraged folk from returning to work, and they said no.

And I just am sort of wondering, if we had not provided--you said you were there when Mr. Paulson showed up asking for that 700 billion. Do you think we could have had the same kind of catastrophic events, had we not have provided…

I thank the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Horsford), the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, and of course our esteemed colleagues who are leading this Special Order, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Kamlager-Dove) and the…

They are relying on white, heterosexual, wealthy men. That’s -- that history to determine what ought to happen in 2022, to women’s lives.

It’s sickening, it’s disgusting, and it’s turning justice, equity, and fairness on his head.

A man can make one, and so, a man should not be able to tell a woman when she -- when and where she can create one.

Today, I rise in support of H.R. 7666, a bipartisan response to rising substance use disorders and mental health needs in our communities. The need for this bill is clear. We've heard about the growing mental health crisis, including about…
