The proposed Labor, Health, and Human Services budget bill shortchanges our schools, teachers, and children by slashing funding for low-income students, teacher training, and after-school programs.
If we are serious about public safety, we must invest in the people and tools that keep our neighborhoods secure. Cuts like these don't strengthen safety—they weaken it.
Working families were told tariffs were necessary—meanwhile, insiders are now finding ways to profit off the economic harm Trump’s tariffs are causing. It’s frustrating. And it’s exactly why we need stronger anti-corruption laws to rebuild public trust.
Today we honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11. We remember the courage of first responders, the strength of survivors, and the resilience of a nation forever changed. May we never forget their sacrifice.
We just finished the last appropriation bill to come out of the Appropriations Committee. Republicans are making us less safe and underinvesting in innovation and scientific research. We're going to continue to fight this on the floor.
The reforms in my amendment would strengthen oversight and protect taxpayer dollars. Republicans voted down this amendment. This is like refusing to hire an accountant because you don't want the bad news and don't want to be held to a standard.
My final amendment would increase funding for Inspectors General at the DOJ, NASA, and the NSF. There is so much talk of eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government these days, yet the Trump administration wants to place Inspectors Generals in a weakened position.
My amendment would protect a program that has successfully dismantled crime in cities across the United States, and protected public safety. The Republican majority voted against the amendment.
My next amendment would strengthen the Office of Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. This task force is intelligence driven and results-based, in FY22 OCDETF brought in $524 million in cash and property seizures and forfeitures.
This is about basic accountability. There has been an astonishing lack of transparency around this case. House Republicans did not allow this amendment to pass.
I introduced an amendment that directs the Attorney General to provide this committee with a full report on all files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Republican majority, however, chose to abandon the law enforcement officials who protected the Capitol that day and voted against this amendment.
I spoke in support of @normajtorrres.bsky.social's amendment to ensure no funds from this bill will be used for settlements with Jan. 6th insurrectionists.
It is a sad state of affairs that we have to debate whether American tax dollars should be used to settle lawsuits with individuals who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
