House NOW debating joint resolution to remove the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution.
House Judiciary Chair Nadler opens the ERA ratification House floor debate: "H.J. Res. 17 is long overdue legislation to ensure that the Equal Rights Amendment can finally become the 28th Amendment to the United States."
Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) begins House ERA debate for Republicans:"HJ Res 17 is not a resolution to revive the Equal Rights Amendment. It is a messaging vehicle...We are here today for a headline, so that Democrats can say they supported the ERA when it was in the House."

Menendez (D-NJ) from Senate floor: "What one of our colleagues said last week about the events of January 6th was felt by many to be racist and hurtful, a stain on the office he is so fortunate to hold."
Menendez: "No one likes to be called racist, but sometimes there's just no other way to describe the use of bigoted tropes that for generations have threatened Black lives by stoking white fear of African Americans and Black men in particular."
Senator Menendez (D-NJ) on Senate floor referring to Senator Johnson (R-WI): "On a radio show, our colleague explained that he never feared his safety during the Jan. 6th insurrection of the US Capitol.But make no mistake, under different circumstances he would have been afraid."
