You have probably heard the Republican majority tell you they are laser focused on reducing costs for the average American by lowering inflation. You have likely heard about their alleged quest for a smaller, less-intrusive government…

So, I mean, if we wind up with 22 percent cuts in this area, not only can you not expand, but you would actually have to contract what you are doing in this area, causing even more burden on the healthcare facilities?

I am extremely concerned about that.

I have been one of the lead advocates for doubling Pell Grants in 5 years, being a Pell Grant recipient myself.

I didn't want to take up the ladder from others, right? And I would hope that this is a program I think that has bipartisan support.

If they are going to claim this is a cut to Medicare, then let us just allow Medicare to use 'Medicare.'

We want taxpayers who are helping pay for some of those Medicare services get their money's worth.

I am really concerned about what those cuts mean.

It is the politics of the budget versus the people benefiting the budget.

This is a new low. The majority party uplifts and seats on committees a Member who has a history of pathological lying but wants to remove someone who even Republican Members of Congress admit is a talented member of the Foreign Affairs…

For 35 years now I have owned a small business, giving me significantly more experience as a capitalist than the vast majority of Members on the other side of the aisle. As a capitalist, let me tell you, this resolution is plain…

It is never too late to do the right thing. Thanks to bipartisan work in the Senate, the Respect for Marriage Act comes back to the House with added language that should allay anyone's fears or misunderstandings, yet still ensure we can…

Global inflation caused by our reopening due to COVID-19 has caused increased prices in everything from gasoline to groceries to healthcare. Today, we put people over politics as we lessen the impact of global inflation on the American…

This is a simple bill--whether or not you support current law on marriage in this country, which includes for the LGBT and the interracial couples across the Nation. My friend from Ohio said this bill is unnecessary. This bill is very…

Dereliction of duty, of Congress and State legislatures to not act.

The leaked Supreme Court document shows a complete disregard by the Court majority for the fundamental right to control one's own body by having access to safe abortion care. In Wisconsin, the end of Roe v. Wade would drag us back to 1849…

I want to thank you for blocking the proposed merger between Lockheed Martin and Aerojet Rocketdyne earlier this year.

I have been concerned about concentration in the meat packing industry for years, and I fear that right now it is contributing to the high prices that we are seeing at the grocery store.

Can you assure us that any increases for budget would be used to ensure that the wealthiest and corporations are paying their fair share?

I know you mentioned the lack of employees. And I understand that. But it is estimated that the U.S. is losing about $547 billion per year through unpaid taxes.

I think there are many things that are very important.

I think it is time for a more modern definition of defense.

I would argue things like cybersecurity, climate change, pandemics clearly are all things that fall under national security.

While you have a lot of great investments for working families, the defense budget still is ballooning.

I agree with Mr. Womack. I used to be on Reid Ribble's bill as well to do the biennial budget process.
