Rep. Chip Roy's Press Office: "Congress must commit to making President Trump's executive order on labeling drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations PERMANENT! Rep. Roy's H.R. 885, the Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act, does just that."
Rep. Greg Casar: "Donald Trump's State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Elon Musk's Tesla. They got caught. Then they lied about it. This isn't efficiency -- it's corruption.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "People don't understand, but you will understand when those hospitals in rural America start closing down even more. You will understand when you don't have your Social Security. You will understand when your Medicaid, your Medicare goes away. You will understand as planes continue to fall out of the sky."
State Rep. James Talarico: "The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Here in Texas, a group of billionaires are trying to dismantle our public schools with a private school voucher scam. If they want to close our schools, Texans have 4 words for them: Come and Take It."
