I think it'd be better if you read it.
Actually, Ranking Member Moore. Ranking Member Moore.
I don't want to read the bill for you. I am testifying about this legislation. I'm not going to read the bill to you.
Ms. Lager-Fernandez, shall I pass this back or shall I read it for you? No, no, why don't you just read it? Action 111106, repeal of excise tax on indoor tanning services.
Well, we're seeing Democrats take the fight. I'm doing it both on the East Coast and the West Coast. So in D.C., we're making sure we're standing up for Oregonians and Americans, making sure we're protesting in the well, making sure that we're bringing these issues of Medicaid, of pharmacies and drugs, and making sure that we're talking about how we center children in our policy.
I'm someone that believes that Oregonians have told me they want to make sure they have the healthiest children. They have the brightest future that we're taking care of our seniors. I'm doing this on the East coast and the West coast. We've launched our give them hell tour, 10 stops all throughout the summer. We've already started and people are giving us the material to take back to DC.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, this is Rose. She's seven years old in the first grade and she makes friends everywhere she goes. Rose was diagnosed with an ultra rare genetic syndrome when she was just three and a half and now uses a feeding tube and a wheelchair. Medicaid allows Rose to receive physical therapy. And thanks to this therapy, she's starting to take steps.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker My Republican colleagues are working overtime to take Rose's healthcare away. It might be easy for people to strike through one number and write in another, take a little bit from here and there, but each of those numbers represents a person, a child like Rose, who will lose critical care so billionaires can have more money in their pockets.
We cannot let them steal from our kids and our families. We will not. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I yield back.
Yeah. You know, they're sacrificing rows and millions of roses for a trash budget that lines the pockets of billionaires. And oh, by the way, doesn't even lower the deficit. Trash, garbage in, garbage out, doesn't even protect our children. And I just can't understand it. There's also some sort of disconnect. $5,000 if you have a kid.
without even thinking about what it takes to support our children, making sure that every child in this country has a full belly when they get to school, making sure that our seniors are cared for when they need medical care. It's there at a rural hospital.
Making sure that our parents can care for their children, that they have good, stable jobs, and that they're not going to have the wool ripped out from underneath them. Like, that is the essence of what we're fighting here. Trump and his cronies are going to go down hard in the midterms. Guaranteed.
We made sure of that.
Well, here's what people are telling me. Number one, they care about getting their social security benefits on time. And that wasn't a red issue or a blue issue. That was just a green issue. They want to make sure that they can count on their government to deliver what it's supposed to and when it's supposed to.
The issue with, you know, having the Republican candidate in this race was that she was lying to Oregonians about what her beliefs are and what she was going to defend. And we illuminated the fact that she wasn't really pro-labor. She got to her nomination seat and started saying, oh, no, I don't remember that. And that to me.
That to me is the warning for Americans in the midterms that these people will lie, say that they're on your team, and then when the rubber meets the road, they can't remember. That's the problem. Wolf in sheep's clothing, trying to make you think that you're going to get X packaging, you get Y. And that's why this trash budget is so dangerous.
That's why they're trying to do it in the middle of the night. That's why they're trying to rush it through in just a couple of days and hold everybody's time in their district hostage. That is why you attempt to push a trash budget through, because you know it's trash. It always started out as trash, always will be trash, and will forever continue to be in history trash.
Oh, we're going to Albany, Lake Oswego. We're going to Bend. We're going all over the district.
Thanks. I hope to see everybody on the Give Them Hell Tour.
And my real fear is it is gonna be generations for us to recover our place in this world, our leadership as a democracy that values the rule of law and this sort of expansion policy. Denmark, Canada, they're now the enemies, the states that we have to draw a hard line with. And we elected this strong man who rolls over on his back for Putin,
