Transcript: Congressman Crow's Floor Speech on the Concerning State of US Politics & the Path Forward to Unite Our Country WASHINGTON — A transcript of Congressman Jason Crow's (D-CO-06) full speech from the House floor.

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) on this moment. Not just the transcript but the video of a floor speech yesterday. A rallying cry:

Opinion | Killing U.S.A.I.D. Is a Win for Autocrats Everywhere The attacks on the agency are cruel and counterproductive.
