The irony of today's hearing is not lost on me.

Americans deserve an affordable healthcare system that works, and the one that we have right now is broken.

We deserve better, the American people deserve better, and I appreciate your fight.

What is frustrating for me--I am from the state of Texas, as mentioned, and even in the state of Texas, there was a bill that was just passed.

They cannot even keep the halls of Congress crime-free.

I find it ironic that my colleagues across the aisle feel comfortable hauling all of these amazing public servants into our Nation's capital to lecture you on your jobs, but they do not feel comfortable actually supporting the citizens of…

I am so excited that my colleagues across the aisle care about sexual abuse considering that the frontrunner right now for, like, presidency has kind of just been found liable of sexual abuse.

It is outrageous. It is absolutely outrageous.
