USA gymnasts are sworn in.
Simone Biles:"I blame Larry Nasser and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse.USA Gymnastics and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Cmte knew that I was abused by their official team doctor long before I was ever made aware of their knowledge."
Biles: "How much is a little girl worth? I sit before you today to raise my voice so that no little girl must endure what I, the athletes at this table, and the countless others who needlessly suffered under Nassar's guise of medical treatment which we continue to endure today."
Biles: "We suffer and continue to suffer because no one at FBI, USAG, or at the USOPC did what was necessary to protect us. We have been failed and we deserve answers. Nassar is where he belongs, but those who enabled him deserve to be held accountable."
.@McKaylaMaroney:"I am tired of waiting for people to do the right thing because my abuse was enough & we deserve justice. These individuals clearly violated polices & were negligent in executing their duties & in doing so, more girls were abused by Larry Nassar for over a year."
Maroney:"I ask you all to hear my voice. I ask you please do all that is in your power to ensure these individuals are held responsible & accountable for ignoring my initial report, for lying about my initial report & for covering up for a child molester."
.@MagsGotSwag12: "For many hundreds of survivors of Larry Nassar, this hearing is one of our last opportunities to get justice. We ask that you do what is in your power to ensure those that engaged in wrong doing are held accountable under the law."
@Aly_Raisman: "We are deluding ourselves if we think other children can be spared the institutionalized tolerance and normalization of abuse that I and so many others had to endure."
.@Aly_Raisman: "We are deluding ourselves if we think other children can be spared the institutionalized tolerance and normalization of abuse that I and so many others had to endure."
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein with the US gymnasts after they testified at today's Senate Judiciary hearing on Larry Nassar.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz and FBI Director Christopher Wray are sworn in at today's Senate Judiciary hearing on the abuse of USA gymnasts.
FBI Director Wray: "I'd like to make a promise to the women who appeared here today and to all survivors of abuse. I am not interested in simply addressing this wrong and moving on."
Wray: "It's my commitment to you that I and my entire senior leadership team are going to make damn sure everybody at the FBI remembers what happened here in heartbreaking detail. We need to remember the pain that occurred when our folks failed to do their jobs."
Wray: "We need to study it. We need to learn from it. That is the best way I know to make sure this devastating tragedy is never repeated."

Education Sec. Cardona on whether what's happening to Jewish students at Columbia & other colleges & universities is okay:"Absolutely not. I think what's happening on our campuses is abhorrent. Hate has no place on our campuses & I'm very concerned w/the reports of antisemitism."
Image
Cardona:"I've spoken to Jewish students who have feared going to class as a result of some of the harassment that they're facing on campuses. It's unacceptable and we're committed as a Department of Education to adhering to Titile VI enforcement. We have 137 open cases."
Cardona: "We take this very seriously. We've increased the number of communications to college campuses to make sure that they have what they need in terms of the law and best practices on how they make sure they're protecting students."

Justice Alito responds to Senate Judiciary Chair Durbin: "There is no valid reason for my recusal in this case. Sen. Durbin’s letter expressed the view recusal is necessary because I participated in 2 interviews that resulted in 2 articles about my work that appeared in the WSJ."
Alito: "There was nothing out of the ordinary about the interviews in question. Over the years, many Justices have participated in interviews with representatives of media entities that have frequently been parties in cases before the Court."
Altio: "We are required to put favorable or unfavorable comments and any personal connections with an attorney out of our minds and judge the cases based solely on the law and the facts. And that is what we do."

220-213: House on a near party line votes approved the rules for 118th Congress under a Republican majority. Rules package allows 1 mbr to force a vote on removing the House Speaker by offering a motion to vacate the chair. TX Rep Tony Gonzales was the only Republican to vote No.
McCarthy: House-approved rules package for the 118th includes “Rules that empower Members to debate & legislate are replacing rules that silenced their voice & centralized power. Rules that increase transparency are replacing rules that kept lawmaking hidden behind closed doors.”
McCarthy: “And rules that reopen Congress to We the People are replacing rules like proxy voting that kept this floor empty.”

Diaz-Balart:"I am a long-standing advocate against discrimination of all types. I, however, cannot support any effort that undermines religious liberties by failing to provide legitimate safeguards for Faith-Based orgs. that object based on their deeply-held religious beliefs."
Diaz-Balart (R-FL) on his Yes to No vote on final marriage equality bill: "It is unfortunate the Senate missed an opportunity to protect marriage equality while also guaranteeing religious freedom."
Salazar (R-FL): “I am disappointed to see the final House version of the Respect for Marriage Act did not include full protections for churches and Americans with sincerely held religious beliefs."

The bill specifically “directs the Joint Committee on Congress on the Library to remove the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the Capitol and to obtain a bust of Thurgood Marshall for installation in the Capitol or on the Capitol Grounds.”
Senate Rules Chair Klobuchar; “The Capitol is our most recognizable symbol of democracy, a place where all Americans have their voices represented and heard.  We must ensure that its art reflects the values on which our country stands.”
