We should always insist that everyone handle it correctly, no matter how powerful they are or who they're connected to.
This bill is a Trojan horse for major tax hikes on American workers and families. It spends more money on things like electric vehicles than it does on roads, and bridges, ports and airports.
Our friends on the left always want to go straight to gun control as the solution. Why don`t we look at why this violence has increased to begin with? Notably, there has been extended, systematic attacks on our police and law enforcement…
Washington also doesn't have the 'diversity of interests and financial independence' that Madison explained were necessary for a well-functioning state.
Would you trust Mayor Bowser to keep Washington safe if she were given the powers of a governor? Would you trust Marion Barry?
Look how crazy some of the Democratic ideas are. I mean, they had a chance on Saturday morning to stop checks from going to prisoners, and on that vote, they declined it.

Basing questions can obviously be controversial, but that will be a decision to be made for the future.
I appreciate that from the Senator from Iowa. If that is the case, I will defer to the Senator from Louisiana because I think he wanted to speak on that specific division.
