Rep. Greg Casar: "Here are two numbers you need to know today. Trump is now talking about spending $500 billion for Greenland. While 17 million Americans are about to lose health care because Republicans cut funding. Crazy."

Gubernatorial Candidate Gina Hinojosa: "Gerrymandering our state wasn't enough -- Abbott knows he's the most unpopular politician in Texas so now he's trying to take over Houston's elections.

Rep. Chip Roy: "YES we should prosecute fraud and rip the lid off this garbage. But Congress needs to STOP FUNDING many of the same groups and NGOs. Make DOGE Permanent and save billions while simultaneously cutting off the far left networks and NGOs undermining our country."

State Rep. James Talarico: "I've single-handedly defeated harmful Republican bills with points of order on the floor of the House."
