What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.
President Biden to be focused on the use of diplomacy first and our military as a firm, powerful but final line of defense only when our vital national interests are involved and there is not another alternative.
It would be amusing were it not so serious to listen to our Republican colleagues talk about their concern of debt these days when they express no concerns about debt when the leader of their cult, Donald Trump, proclaimed himself the king…
While hundreds of millions of Americans have benefited from the Affordable Care Act, I represent many who have not.
What our colleagues should be doing is coming together to work with us to ensure the permanent security of Medicare. Medicare works, but after 55 years, it needs some updates. It has not provided adequate protection against pharmaceutical…
I rise on behalf of those who teach, who heal, who protect, who study; for those whose entrepreneurial talent advances our economy--for all of our Dreamers. They have so much to contribute and they are American in every way except on…
Today's bill favors turning out the votes, not throwing them out. Let's protect American democracy which worships, above all, the voice of the people expressed through free and fair elections; not bowing before the golden idol of one who…

The goal of FFFBP is to allow producers to sell food previously destined for restaurants and other bulk purchasers to suppliers--preventing waste--while helping Americans in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you for your letter of May 26 and June 10, 2020, with questions about the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Farmers to Families Food Box Program (FFFBP).

For the sake of those Texans who through no fault of their own rely on these meals, I look forward to your prompt action on this important matter.
You have got some people that will be there today or tomorrow who probably are positive for coronavirus.
The problem is that moving evacuees who have coronavirus across San Antonio...risks community spread in our community.
I respect that because I want to protect every service member so that they are ready to defend our country.
I realize that it is not the Defense Department's decision but a Trump Administration failure to provide San Antonio additional protective medical equipment for our professional medical people.
One of the advantages of the Medicaid program is if more people require coverage during an economic downturn, or if costs go up because of a public health emergency, like coronavirus or an opioid epidemic, the Federal funding automatically…
The Trump Treasury Department is only making it worse with their regulations.
My concern, Mr. Chairman, is that 90 corporate giants in this country paid zero--absolutely nothing--zilch--to contribute to the challenges that we face.
They could not do enough when it came to helping the very rich in this country and multinational corporations.

Those Republican tax cuts that we were told were going to pay for themselves have not paid for themselves, have they?
Politicians like Lloyd Doggett
