"I rise in opposition to this rule, which combines two unrelated appropriations bills, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and the Agriculture appropriations bills. And this rule also concedes that the House Republicans will not finish all their appropriation bills on time."

"So I believe that this decision was right. I know that it allows for religious exemptions. And this rule should now allow for employees, for nurses, for health care workers to access contraception when they want to, and if they choose not to. They don’t have to. But we should not allow discrimination to take place anymore."

"Let’s be frank. The opponents of this bill and this rule clearly have an anti-coal agenda. Even interagency reviews of the EPA’s plan to designate coal ash as a hazardous material show that the idea is opposed by the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Council of Environmental Quality, and the Army Corps of Engineers. They want the continued use of recycled fly ash and want to reject its possibility of being treated as a hazardous material."
