House House Rules Democrats House Rules Committee Debates Foreign Aid Bills – LIVE on C-SPAN2 c-span.org/video/?535026-…
We don’t have to agree on everything to agree on something.
While Rep. Tom Cole and I don’t always see eye to eye, I wish him well in his new role on the Appropriations Committee. I look forward to working with him to try to find common ground on behalf of the American people.
Massachusetts, meet Ron—my guest for tonight's State of the Union Address. Ron was exposed to Agent Orange during his service in the Vietnam War. Now, thanks to the PACT Act passed by President Biden Biden and House Democrats, he’s finally getting the healthcare he deserves.
I voted no on the LNG bill. I proposed a bipartisan amendment that would've kept liquefied natural gas out of our adversaries' hands — but Republicans voted against it.
Thank you, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, for your advocacy and RM Rep. Jim McGovern, for your leadership as we seek pragmatic solutions.
Every House Rules Committee Republican voted down my amendment to the so-called “Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act.”
My amendment would’ve ensured that U.S. Department of Energy reports to Congress the impacts of waiving public interest considerations for LNG export facilities.
