Veronica Escobar: “What we have seen today is... an effort by my Republican colleagues... to keep Americans on a treadmill of rage.”

There are so many critical issues that our Nation is looking to us to address.

This Committee is unfortunately focused on things that don't matter to the everyday American.

I regrettably could not be present today to vote on the Floor proceedings before the House. Had I been present, I would have voted: NO on Roll Call No. 276, NO on Roll Call No. 277, YEA on Roll Call 278, and NO on Roll Call No. 279…

I first want to also express my profound condolences to each and every one of you who've suffered loss.
