Senator John Cornyn: "Hispanic voters in Texas have rapidly shifted in favor of the GOP, in large part thanks [to] @realdonaltrump, so a mid decade redistricting will mean significant gains for Texas Republicans."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Remember when Trump and the Republicans swore they'd lower costs? Yeah... they lied. Six months in, and folks are already paying more - at the store, at the pharmacy, and on their power bills. The Big Ugly Bill's about to make it worse, with food and health care costs set to skyrocket. If this is what fighting for the people looks like, I'd hate to see what betrayal looks like."
Rep. Keith Self: "The Senate needs to pass the rescissions package now. We don't need to be funding these things with taxpayer dollars."
Rep. Greg Casar: "You're paying more so Donald Trump can collect bribes from companies that want to avoid his tariffs. Trump is good at increasing two things: his own net worth and your prices."
