I would love to stand here and tell the American people that we can cut your taxes and increase spending, and everything is going to be just fine. I can't do that because I am here to deliver a dose of reality. This bill dramatically…

If something is beautiful, you don't do it after midnight.

a slippery slope, ripe for abuse, with unintended consequences.

I don't believe they're going to make any cuts of any consequence.

POTUS is spending his day attacking me and Canada. The difference is Canada will eventually cave.

Three times I’ve had a challenger who tried to be more MAGA than me.

It amazes me that my colleagues and many of the public fall for the lie that we will fight another day.

Unless I get a lobotomy Monday that causes me to forget what I’ve witnessed the past 12 years, I’ll be a NO on the CR this week.

Someone thinks they can control my voting card by threatening my re-election. Guess what? Doesn’t work on me.

Unless I get a lobotomy Monday that causes me to forget what I’ve witnessed the past 12 years, I’ll be a NO on the CR this week.

I'll vote against a clean CR that funds everything in 2025 at 2024 levels because: 1. @SpeakerJohnson isn't following the provision in law that would have cut everything by 1% if the CR extended past April.

If the Republican plan passes—under the rosiest assumptions which aren't even true—we're going to add 328 billion dollars to the deficit this year.

The GOP budget extends the 5 yr. tax holiday we've been enjoying, but because it doesn't cut spending much, it increases the deficit by over $300 billion/yr.

it would essentially explode the budget deficit when Republicans are saying that they would do the opposite with this plan.

If the Republican budget passes, the deficit gets worse, not better.

They convinced me in there, I’m a no.

USAID funded an organization that fabricated evidence which was used to impeach President Trump. The Deep State frequently funds regime change efforts abroad, but when it uses taxpayer money to undermine our own government, isn't that…

Although seniors have already paid tax on their Social Security contributions via the payroll tax, they are still required to list these benefits as taxable income on their tax returns.

The Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, if passed and implemented in 2025, is estimated to save the average senior household roughly $3,000 per year.
