Political Quotes

“I, first and foremost, will associate myself with the remarks of Mr. Neal from Massachusetts about our dear friend and colleague, Charlie Rangel. Also, Mr. Speaker, I will point out, as well, that I believe the Representative from Indiana was on the floor talking about how we should go after PBS and NPR. "Sesame Street" and Big Bird are really culprits here, and every American ought to be really concerned about that. We still have something we call free press and free opinions. If you think that they are the kind of organization that they are--I believe the other night on the floor they were called communistic, as well. How about we have an open public hearing and debate on that and put legislation forward not in the dark of night but when the public can actually view what you are saying. Mr. Speaker, I am here today primarily, though, to talk about Social Security and also to enlighten, I hope, my colleagues on the other side. I am very concerned about the Supreme Court's most recent ruling that overturned two lower courts with no logic and said, no, there shouldn't be a pause, that DOGE ought to be able to look at everyone's personal data and records. To all Social Security recipients and all Americans out there that are tuned in to this, understand what this is about. This is about DOGE having access to the more than 70 million Social Security recipients and everybody who, in fact, is on Social Security, which will include basically the whole Nation.”
