house Agriculture Committee · Sep 16, 2026 · Transcript · 6 transcript matches
FIGURES, SHOMARI "Unfortunately, Congress has increasingly been forced to respond to problems that are being created, particularly in this administration most recently. That is why I introduced the Tariff-Impacted Farmer Support Act to provide temporary assistance to farmers who are being harmed by the current trade environment. But I want to be clear, these temporary measures are not the solution, certainly not the long-term solution. I don't want American farmers to have to depend on emergency assistance because an administration, any administration, Democrat or Republican, has taken steps that disrupts..."

DOGGETT, LLOYD "Or any of the other scholars who have analyzed over the years the amount of waste that is in this program? It wasn't there. I referred in our last meeting to the legislation that I filed on a bipartisan basis concerning those individuals who are receiving care from the Veterans Administration, and yet some insurance companies have gone out and actually recruited them to sign up under Medicare Advantage so that they can take the premiums and the profits while the taxpayer gets hit again by paying for the care that the Veterans Administration provides. That's the kind of thing, Mr. Hearn, that..."

"The tension that Justice Gorsuch details is what this bill aims to fix. There should never be a situation where the president can administratively decide that the beliefs of a religious institution are fundamentally against the interests of the United States and certainly should not be a determining factor for tax-exempt status. Unfortunately, previous administrations have abused this power as they made these kinds of decisions. The Obama administration's IRS singled out conservative groups..."
