I am very proud of the work we did in this committee to pass the Affordable Care Act because access to affordable health care is an essential pillar of middle-class economic security.

H.R. 1 does little to rein in excess military spending like weapons system that the Pentagon doesn't even want.
Republicans have prioritized cutting health care services to our most vulnerable populations without considering the consequences.
The Republican spending bill, H.R. 1, clearly illustrates the new Majority's choices and priorities.
I agree with my colleagues that we must reduce the deficit and work towards a balanced federal budget.
EPA's mission, which you know well, is to protect human health and the environment, on which we all rely.
The legislation would authorize a much needed assessment of the current state of the critical care delivery system
I hope we seize this moment to come together as a Congress and ask, How can we bring renewed civility to consequential debate and create a new environment in which people can differ without demonizing others? People reach different…
