Former senators
The Trump administration has repeatedly refused to reverse its cuts to VA homecare reimbursement rates in New Mexico — denying veterans the care they have earned.
I think that Congress really intended those funds to go to American ranchers. So, I want to ask you, what are you going to do this time around to ensure that the proposed relief dollars that we're talking about today, that those funds go…
President Trump promised to lower costs for working families. Instead of working to find solutions to lower costs for Americans, his attacks on American-made energy and his war with Iran have skyrocketed energy bills and gas prices.
