which taxpayer? Out of the almost $1 trillion in tax cuts in this budget, which are on the backs of all these other cuts.

I would think that just by nature of the fact that you are keeping people alive by feeding them is pretty good evidence.

The Trump budget is shockingly extreme; the antithesis of what the American people have said they want from their government.

It leaves no question of what this administration values: greater gains for millionaires and corporations at the expense of American families.

This Special Order is for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and I am so proud to be a vice chair of that caucus and to lead the Special Order hour with my colleague, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin). We do this once a week, and…

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for eloquently articulating so many of the issues that are in front of us right now, including, once again: What exactly is this administration doing for people across this country, both those who voted…

I thank the Congresswoman so much for her leadership and for her work on all of these issues. I was listening to the gentlewoman as I came in and thinking that I couldn't agree with the gentlewoman more on, first of all, the need for us to…

I thank my good colleague from Maryland (Mr. Raskin). It has been such a pleasure since coming to Congress--and it seems difficult to believe that it has been almost 3 months--but it has been such a pleasure to co-lead this Special Order…

Not on Foreign Affairs, unfortunately, but we work on immigration issues together.

I thank my colleague, Mr. Raskin of Maryland, for his incredible leadership and for the opportunity to continue to lead the Special Order hour for the Progressive Caucus here every week. And every week we do try to pick a different topic…
