Jasmine Crockett: "While folks were wrapping up their weekends, House Republicans were sneaking through Trump's tax scam - one that slashes Medicaid, cuts food assistance, and makes the rich richer.

They are LITERALLY taking food and healthcare away from people. Period."

Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke: "My thoughts are with President Biden and his entire family during this incredibly difficult time. I join the millions of Americans who are keeping them in our prayers and wishing him a full and speedy recovery."
