Lloyd Doggett

I thank the gentleman for responding, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I have a question for Mr. Beyer. The bill the gentleman has is the same one that the Senate passed 6 months ago. Has the gentleman been given any reason why the Republicans, if they are so eager to help the hostages, have held that bill…

I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1366 Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the Honorable Sheila Jackson Lee, a…

Mr. President, please look at what's happened, recognize that the reality out there may not be the same thing you're hearing from the circle of your closest friends and family and consider putting our country first.

I represent the heart of a congressional district, once represented by Lyndon Johnson. Under very different circumstances, he made the painful decision to withdraw. President Biden should do the same.

She's very able. She should be in the mix.

I remain hopeful... that he'll look at these numbers and realize that this is a hill just too high for him to climb and call on someone else.

I think we would be better off if we had a new candidate who could present a new vision for our country.

I think rather than some tests here or there, what I'd like to see is the President out actively engaging with journalists like you, answering the tough questions, demonstrating that he doesn't need a teleprompter.

I just feel that it's time for him to step aside if we were to be able to protect what he allowed us to gain in 2020, which was a victory for democracy.

This has been a problem for a year that our nominee has been lagging behind our strong Senate candidates in half a dozen key states, and no sign of significant improvement.

I don't know. What I do know is that we're at serious risk of our government being taken over by a criminal and his gang, the democracy values that we cherish so much being lost to an authoritarian strongman.

Certainly, the stories that you have told today are compelling, and they focus new attention on this problem.

I thank the gentleman, and I know he shares my concern about this. I am eager to work with him on it. I appreciate his comments and will be delighted to work with him. Sometimes this offer to work ends and begins at once. So long as this…

In confronting rising antisemitism, we need equal concern about rising Islamophobia and hateful acts against Muslims.

There were no Palestinian martyrs on October 7, only murderers and rapists.

So many of the chants and taunts since October 7 have fueled antisemitism, and the incidents that you described today are truly outrageous.

Unlike President Trump, I did not find good people on both sides. Rather, I saw dangerous racists and anti-Semites on one side.

Hamas can never be a genuine partner for peace, but Netanyahu, so willing to sacrifice the hostages and protect himself, is also obstructing peace. Limiting the flow of bombs is a constructive step forward toward assuring long-term…

They also spend a lot of time defending corporations that like to hide their profits on American sales in foreign tax havens.

In contrast, what the chairman has been urging the Biden Administration to do is to embrace an extension of all of the very inequitable Trump tax breaks that I have seen estimates would cost $3.5 trillion in additional debt.

Thank you so much for your testimony today about a budget that demonstrates that we can put our country on sound financial footing, reduce our deficit, and make some new investments so long as we demand that the well-connected and large…

I think a trade war with our allies is the wrong way to go, and a global minimum tax that stops the race to the bottom is the right way to deal with our future.

The same tax law provides tax incentives... Unfortunately, corporations are given, under the Trump tax law, an incentive to shift their factories abroad.

We can't afford to keep providing them in the current way.
