I think that, first, so I have a situation in my district, which I explained to you.

A Republican default would be devastating, and all this talk about controlling drug costs will be for naught.

The Inflation Reduction Act capped out-of-pocket costs for patients covered by Medicare Part D at $2,000 per year.

If they want to help reduce drug costs, pass a clean debt ceiling limit increase.

A Republican default on the national debt would be a tragedy that we would be feeling for months, if not years.

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, the Republican Majority, is talking about controlling drug pricing and drug costs for the American people.

For far too long, Americans have paid too much for lifesaving prescription drugs.

Is bad enough that they have such monopolistic or oligopolistic control that they influence prices.

If they cared about children, why are they attempting to cut Federal childcare funding by 22 percent?

I think there should be broad agreement. We shouldn't ban books.

I think your budget is bloated. I think it is being misused in the wrong places, and I think you know that.

This is not, in that sense, primarily an FDA problem. It is a trade problem. It is a market problem.

I became a new dad for the first time last August, and as we were approaching the due date, I was watching the issue with a very, very interested eye.

Have either of you ever received an order to stand down directly from the White House or stop enforcing the laws that you are tasked to enforce?

Mr. Gomez. Gomez is aye.

My amendment here is very simple. It adds an exception to the bill that ensures that scientific and technical information will not be blocked under this bill as censorship.

We cannot afford to have a bill that does to scientists what they fear most: getting censored and punished for doing their jobs.

I will not let this happen on my watch.

The pandemic took over a million American lives, 1,300 in my own city back home.

Musk more interested in attacking journalists and uplifting conspiracy theories than actually running a company.

Their hatred of foreign-born people and their blatant lies have consequences, and it's time that they own up to it.

The extreme MAGA plan will not secure our borders because they're not asking the right questions to the right individuals about the right facts.

If we want to talk about the fentanyl crisis and how it's coming in and what's being needed, we should talk about those facts, instead of conflating all the different issues.

What changed is we had President Biden.

Those insurrectionists were traitors.
