Congress needs to work together with President Trump--I've never seen a President lean forward more on an issue like this than him.
Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, the current outbreak of lung illnesses associated with e-cigarettes, and the youth vaping epidemic are a front-and-center health concern in the United States.
I have to strongly express my great frustration about the decision to sabotage both the great traditions of this committee and the bipartisan work.
Look, we all want to get these prices down, but none of us wants to stifle innovation or access.
But this is partisan politics at its worst, and it's an avoidable failure--the failure to build on our bipartisan progress to lower prescription drugs for consumers.
There are ways to increase innovation and put market forces in the right direction, and I stand ready to work with my colleagues to get that done.
What's it mean for the patient? What's it mean for the mom that's going up the counter?
I, and every Republican member of this Committee, sent a letter to HHS seeking information from ORR to ensure that children who are in ORR's custody...are properly cared for while in ORR's care.
I have never seen a President more engaged on this issue about bringing down pharmaceutical drugs.
A country that doesn't have control of its borders does not have control of its security.
Republicans will continue to push for legislation that promotes competition, lowers the out-of-pocket cost for consumers.
Don't exclude us from the legislative process. Don't spring a hearing for next Wednesday and not even give us the legislative text.
If there are legislative changes your agencies need from us, please let us know.
None of us supported this child separation policy. We agree with your leadership and that of your career team on this matter.
The gap between rhetoric and reality among Democrats has gotten out of hand.
Unfortunately, that has not happened. Our Democratic colleagues have not engaged with our side in any meaningful way, and the politics of climate change has taken precedent over rolling up our sleeves and getting to work on bipartisan…
So, if Democrats want to tackle climate change, they should work with us Republicans because that is how we are going to get serious solutions that can become law.
Leading Democrats are calling for the elimination of nuclear power--fortunately not our Chairman here--but nearly every single major candidate wants to eliminate or phase out nuclear power.
It has been seven months since Mr. Shimkus, Mr. Upton, and I wrote an op-ed highlighting the need to find common sense and bipartisan solutions to address current and future climate risk.
