There is only one person to blame: Donald Trump. And there is only one party to blame: the Republican Party.

You go from being on the brink of financial crisis, into financial crisis.

The cost of this war is being borne by American consumers, by American small businesses, by American farmers.

We are concerned that those efforts, which were calculated to compel states into inaccurately purging voters, may be the pretext for more meritless pre- and post-election challenges, including interfering with election certification.

Members of the Foreign Service work tirelessly to protect and promote America’s interests – strengthening America’s diplomatic relationships, safeguarding our national security, and providing vital assistance to U.S. citizens abroad – and…

The terms of any nuclear agreement with Iran must come to Congress for review as required by the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act.

It’s a lot easier to start a war than it is to end one. We should not be risking any further American lives and taxpayer dollars on this unnecessary, unconstitutional war.

Now, after nearly four months of hostilities, after an attack on Iran by the United States without support of any allies beyond Israel, we have reached a point where we have spent billions of dollars, 13 American service members have given…

I am concerned that FEMA will not display the same level of urgency after its refusal to assist the thousands of Illinoisans impacted by severe storms last year.

Disaster relief is no place to play politics. I urge FEMA and the Trump Administration [to put] aside political differences… and think about the families who have been touched by tornadoes and how desperate they are to get a helping hand.

The safety of our skies would not be possible if not for the dedicated air traffic controllers who are too often overworked, understaffed and forced to use antiquated equipment.

The President seems far more interested in spending $300 billion to reconstruct Iran instead of spending a fraction of that to build the air traffic control infrastructure to secure the safety of our skies.
