Well, I was actually more thinking about my staff and my colleagues who don’t have the protection that I have.

There is no circumstance in which this president should get another intelligence briefing, not now, not in the future. I don’t think he can be trusted with it now and in the future he certainly can’t be trusted.

I privately and publicly advocated for a residual force that could provide training and security for Iraq's military.

I think we face a significant competition with China.

It is very important to me that, as we work to solve the climate crisis and move toward a low-carbon future, we ensure that American families-- especially the most vulnerable-- share in the economic gains that can come from a clean energy economy.

We cannot solve the climate crisis without effective carbon pricing.

The President supports an enforcement mechanism that requires polluters to bear the full cost of the carbon pollution they are emitting.

We need a comprehensive strategy and a more systematic approach that actually addresses the full range of these issues.

In the long run, I believe the benefits will far outweigh the costs, especially if we care about helping people who have been struggling for a very long time.

I believe that it is imperative that the government does its part to catalyze an economic recovery that is both equitable and sustainable.

Members of the committee, these are very ambitious goals, and I know we will need to work together.

China is America's most serious economic competitor.

I signed the amicus brief because I was persuaded by the argument that Professor Card made and the strength of his empirical work.

Right now, taking too little action poses the greatest risk to the health of our economy.

I support, and will pursue actions that provide aid to fully distribute the vaccine, reopen schools, deliver badly needed aid to State and local governments.

Neither the President-elect, nor I, propose this relief package without an appreciation for the country's debt burden.

We must create an economy that works for everyone.

I am committed to leveraging the full powers and authorities of the Treasury Department to address issues of inequality as well as diversity, equity and inclusion.
