Rep. Greg Casar: "The Trump family's crypto company just got the green light to start its own bank — cashing in off industries he regulates.  Corruption, plain and simple."

Rep. Nathaniel Moran: "East Texas isn't a biopharma hub yet, but our district has major health systems, a medical school, a pharmacy school, and nursing schools. Chinese biotech is dominating drug licensing deals. The fix: incentivize U.S. manufacturing, cut FDA red tape, invest in research."

Rep. Troy Nehls: "The GSA uncovered over $13 billion in suspected fraud involving around 1,000 federal contractors. The Trump Administration continues to gut the pig and root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Keep going! Those who steal from hardworking Americans must be held accountable."

Rep. Chip Roy: "Most young Americans want to believe in America. They want the dignity of work, the opportunity to own a home, and the means and confidence to start a family. If we fight to make that future possible, and defend the foundations of capitalism and Western civilization, we can win them over."
