Representative Andy Biggs: Blinding partisan politics and misplaced priorities over recent decades have weakened our nation to very real threats against our homeland and strategic interests overseas.

We must come together as Americans to increase our vigilance and resolve to confront those who seek to destroy our freedoms and way of life.
Representative Juan Ciscomani: .@DeptVetAffairs employees show up every day for our nation’s heroes. They should have the chance to be there for their families too.

Representative Greg Stanton: Trump said the quiet part out loud. He’d rather use your tax dollars to fight a war we didn't ask for than to protect Medicare and Medicaid.
Representative Yassamin Ansari: Emmanuel Damas is one of 46 people who have died in ICE custody since the beginning of the second Trump Administration. What's happening inside ICE detention centers is sickening. We must continue to conduct oversight and expose them to the American people.
Representative Adelita Grijalva: Good riddance. Pam Bondi spent the last 14 months protecting pedophiles, covering up for Trump, enabling corruption, and gaslighting the public. The American people deserve a DOJ that upholds the rule of law—free from political interference. And Epstein survivors still deserve justice. Democrats must hold her accountable when we retake the majority.
