It has been my experience that a lie seems to be able to travel faster on the internet than the speed of light, while the truth always goes at such a snail's pace.

Back in central Florida, we had a townhall where we had everyone from Bernie Sanders supporters supporting Medicare for all to Donald Trump Make America Great Again, red hat- wearing Trump supporters, and all of them, regardless of the…
It is hard to fight for environmental justice with a few grants when our most fundamental environmental protections are being dismantled.
Looking at the record here over the last 2 years, the Paris Climate Accord withdrawn, Clean Power Plan terminated, oil fuel efficiency standards rolled back, pesticide enforcement reduced...
I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Espaillat), my dear friend, for yielding. You know, we had a rally a while ago where I got to hear my dear friend from New York talk about, as he was addressing Dreamers, that they were the tears of…
This hearing is part of our historic set of hearings to try to get to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
I worry that our Nation's in deep trouble and our world is in deep trouble if we can't do that.
I agree, Leader Bhatia, the people of Puerto Rico should be deciding the public services.
I think that is one of the bright spots happening through Congress right now.
It is a complex history, the history of the debt of Puerto Rico. You have so much to do with both the relationship between the territory and the Federal Government--936, underfunding of Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, child tax…
I agree with the Ranking Member's opinions on statehood, and filed bills to support that.
Let the people of Puerto Rico decide what the benefits and the essential services are, and then they have no issues on reporting, OK, you have to balance your budget, OK, we will do it, to get out of PROMESA.
I believe, in the end, that this restructuring, which enables it to be sustainable, provides those creditors with a better chance of a reasonable repayment of what is affordable than had no alternative to PROMESA been put in place.
PROMESA was only a partial solution to the economic problems of Puerto Rico, and the imposition of the Oversight Board that has undemocratic power over decisions of the elected representatives of the people of Puerto Rico.
It would increase the amount of Medicaid funding from $375 million a year to $400 billion a year for Puerto Rico.
One thing I continue to hear from a lot of folks on the island and in my district and others is about this idea of eliminating the debt.
if we could just put a switch into this bill, Mr. Chairman, to make the Trump administration release the funds, I think we would actually resolve this.
The good news is we have already passed bipartisan legislation to create Medicaid parity and, just recently, last week, to help low-income seniors on Medicare.
