"With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, amid many other serious challenges, this bill provides tens of billions of dollars to support the working- and middle-class families who live paycheck to paycheck. It supports them through investments in education, health, housing, and public safety programs. And it ensures that we can continue to help the most vulnerable."
"As I stated this morning, the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act is urgently needed. It supports working families who live paycheck to paycheck. It provides desperately needed relief for survivors of recent disasters and it responds to the humanitarian needs of Afghan evacuees as we end the war in Afghanistan."
"The funding in this bill invests in early childhood education, our schools, high quality training programs. It protects public health, it safeguards our consumers from dangerous products and unsafe food. It will support hungry families, provide housing for those who need a place to live. And it will help keep our communities and our entire nation safe."
"The brave men and women of our Capitol Police protected us. And since that fateful day, they have continued to work day in and day out, with only the barest minimum of support. They have soldiered on with physical, mental, and emotional trauma and have sacrificed their own needs and those of their families for the safety and security of our democracy. We need to respect their service."
"Together, the initiatives in this bill will not only protect the Congress and our democracy – they also strengthen and sustain it."
