Rep. Peter DeFazio on the Tax Wall Street Act

The ‘Wrong Choice’ Act would take us back to the bad old days—the days of the collapse of Wall Street, when bad mortgages, collateralized debt obligations and other schemes brought about the worst economic collapse in this country since the Great Depression. To this day, no Wall Street executive has seen jail time for the national catastrophe they created. Now that Goldman Sachs executives hold top positions at the White House and the Treasury Department, they want to deregulate Wall Street agai

Rep. DeFazio describes atmosphere inside Trump meeting

Thanks to President Trump and Senate Republicans’ inaction, tens of millions of Americans have been waiting for months for desperately-needed additional COVID-19 relief. I’m proud to have helped write the newest COVID-19 relief package: one that will extend unemployment benefits, provide direct economic assistance for individuals, help businesses keep their employees on the payroll, and help our state and local governments stay afloat. I’m hopeful that we can pass this bill soon --- the clock is

The first version of #Trumpcare wasn't bad enough, so right-wing Republicans made it even worse. This bill strips individuals with pre-existing conditions of affordable healthcare coverage, and allows insurance companies to charge older Americans as much as they want for coverage. President Trump and Congressional Republicans promised to protect individuals with pre-existing conditions--this new bill shows that those promises were nothing but lies. | Peter DeFazio

Today, Ranking Member Peter DeFazio took to the House floor to discuss the important, bipartisan maritime safety and environment bills, which passed through Committee last month. “We’re choking the oceans to death. The lifeblood of our planet, the lungs of our planet…it’s becoming a giant garbage dump. This is good legislation but it is a pathetic amount of money. The amount of money that Congress is putting up to deal with something that is threatening the very oceans that surround us isn’t ade

I was shocked to read Senator Bob Corker’s comments about his fear that President Trump is putting our nation on the path to World War III. Under the Constitution, only Congress has the power to declare war, and it is imperative that we reassert that authority, especially in a climate where President Trump is inclined to escalate hostilities through Twitter. My resolution, H.J. Res 75, would clarify Congress’s war-making authority and require the President to come to Congress and ask for a decla

Last week, President Trump took us to the brink of war with his reckless actions in the Middle East. Congress—and only Congress—has the authority to declare war, as granted by Article I of the Constitution. Should the President send U.S. troops into conflict, he must receive congressional authorization and formally notify Congress—not through a tweet. I've repeatedly introduced legislation that would reform the War Powers Resolution of 1973 to strengthen Congress's war powers, put a stop to endl

During National Gun Violence Survivors Week, we take time to remember how gun violence has impacted our communities and our country. 58% of American adults report that they or someone they care for have experienced gun violence in their lifetime, and southwest Oregon is certainly not immune to this violence. Despite previously advocating for reforms, last night, President Trump made ZERO mentions to the responsible, commonsense, and bipartisan gun violence prevention bills—including H.R. 8, the

Today, House Republicans sank to a new low, trying to exploit the devastating Zika crisis in order to get rid of a fundamental piece of the Clean Water Act. Under the guise of protecting American citizens from the Zika virus, they brought up a bill that has been introduced multiple times before that makes no mention of the virus and would do nothing to stop its spread. Instead, the bill would have eased restrictions on certain pesticides and allowed them to be applied near water sources without

George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq—which was based on phony intelligence—was the biggest foreign policy mistake in our nation’s history. I opposed the Iraq War and have pushed Congress to repeal the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) in Iraq, which presidents of both parties have abused to justify unauthorized military action across the Middle East for the past 18 years. Last week, the House finally corrected that colossal mistake and repealed the 2002 AUMF with my support. I

Last week, Donald Trump knowingly incited a violent insurrection against the U.S. Congress in an effort to overturn the results of a free and fair election. He is an immediate threat to our national security, and he must be impeached without delay. While these are trying times, we must remember that our Constitution is stronger than any single individual, including Donald Trump. Despite his seditious efforts to subvert the will of the people, there will be a peaceful transfer of power next week

"It was odd ... there were people sitting at the table I've never seen before, who as far as I know, have nothing to do with infrasructure. I think it was a staged event."
