The American Rescue Plan not only created millions of jobs, but saved people's lives.

The false narrative that I think needs to not be constructed is that we shouldn't help folks when they are in need.

Prices can go up for a variety of reasons--supply demand mismatch, corporate greed, supply chain issues, war--and when prices go up, smart government interventions can have a role in bringing those prices down.

There is this false presumption that I think is talked about here in Congress that government spending always necessarily equals inflation, and my understanding is that that is just wrong.

There is nobody that would be more upset about fraud and abuse of unemployment insurance... than the working-class folks in my district.

Cutting workers and services, like Lynn's, would not serve the American people, but it would serve those corporate interests

It is really important for us to highlight the amazing Federal employees that are doing the right thing for this country

The American people deserve better.

If that is what House Republicans want to spend their time on, then that is their prerogative, but to me, it is a damn shame.

Not a single person told me they were concerned about a New York Post story on Twitter about Hunter Biden.

I am honored to be a new Member of Congress where our purpose is to listen to the people, and represent their voices, and lift up our communities.

The failed drug war, plus failed anti-immigrant policies that close any legal pathway to immigration creates the underground market for cartels and criminal groups in the first place.

More than nine out of 10 people caught are lawful U.S. residents.

If we actually want to take on fentanyl overdoses, then let's call a hearing on successful addiction treatment programs.

The Republicans on this committee keep trying to link immigrants to the opioid crisis, but the facts are clear. Immigrant families fleeing violence and poverty are not the source of the fentanyl crisis as they cross the border.

They should have just been able to apply and come here in an orderly and legal manner.

I hope that today's Republican Party and today's leaders within the party are willing to come to the table and actually pass comprehensive and important immigration reform.

No one should have to pay smugglers and brave the jungle and the desert and nights on top of a train to save their family.

I am Greg Casar, and I represent the heart of Texas. Today, thousands of my constituents are freezing without electricity. As Texans try to survive the cold weather and the climate crisis is being ignored in our State, they are also…

We kept people from losing their homes through protections against evictions and foreclosures plus Federal housing relief dollars.

Any dollar taken from those programs by fraudsters is a dollar taken away from people who needed support.

Congress should be proud of the way that those bills helped save people's homes, kept people in their jobs and kept people alive.

I want to be clear. No one in the country is more strongly against fraud than my working-class constituents who needed those COVID dollars to make sure their small businesses kept running.
