Press Release :
With this rule, the Trump Administration continues to jeopardize the health and wellbeing of communities across America. At a time when we should be doing all we can to boost public health, and when the auto industry and its workers are under tremendous stress, it is deeply disappointing that the Trump Administration would move forward with this rule.

Each year, on Equal Pay Day, we count the number of extra weeks from the start of the new year that women have to work, on average, to earn the same pay as men in the previous year for the same work. This pay gap is even more pronounced for women of color.

Dear Colleague:
First, let me thank all of you for the work you have done to respond quickly and effectively to the health crisis that confronts our people, our country, and the global community. We passed three important bills in a short period of time and in a bipartisan way. Undoubtably there is more that we must do, and we will do it.

Speech :
Mr. Speaker, we meet at a challenging time in our country and in the global community. This session will be different than most where we come together, we reach out our hands, we hug one another in affection and thanks for their collegial work with us on the people's business. People who can see the chamber now will see that we are keeping a distance from one another – not out of hostility, but out of love for one another that we may keep one another healthy and safe. It will, therefore, be an unusual session, but a critical session.
