Senator John Cornyn: "Socialism has never worked & it should terrify all of us that New York City is embracing it."

Attorney General Ken Paxton: "President Trump is absolutely right that it's time to end the filibuster. With control of the White House, Senate, and House, we must first seize this moment for America First victories. Democrats are going to end it the moment they're back to pack the courts, add D.C as a state, and erode our freedoms. We should not unilaterally disarm. We should follow President Trump's lead, end the filibuster, open the government without any concessions, and deliver real wins for the American people."

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "Does @JohnCornyn support President Trump in eliminating the filibuster? Or is this the 1% of the time he disagrees with him? Maybe someone should ask him!"

Rep. Pat Fallon: "This is why President Trump continues to be focused on securing critical mineral deals with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific. We MUST have robust supply chains for critical minerals if we are to deter China now and in the future."
