No. And I thank the Democratic leader for his leadership on this. I will just say, I think the idea of getting rid of USAID is a radical one and a wrong one, but that is actually not what we are arguing about. They stormed into the offices…

We have all had that moment where you are like: OK. It is closing day. And the VA home loan office was not available for you to execute on your loan.

I want to thank Senator Coons for his leadership on trying to restore international order. And that is what we are talking about. The chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee is talking about reforms to the way we deliver aid. Look, 10…

Back to the Affordable Care Act: [T]he ACA subsidy schemes simply masks these impacts. That is a funny one. The ACA subsidy scheme masks the impacts, which is really to say we have an inefficient healthcare system--I think everybody can…

Yes, absolutely. And I think that is one of the things that everyone has to wrap their mind around, is that you might have voted for Donald Trump for whatever set of reasons, but I don't think you signed up for a bunch--it is not just that…

It truly is. I thank the leader. It is absolutely unparalleled. The idea that someone from DOGE--we don't even really know who it is--basically barged their way in, had a very contentious negotiation with the Treasury Secretary, and now…

Serious concerns about his ability to do the job in an objective and fair way.

it is a somber night as we pray for safety and recovery and thank the first responders and we wrap up for the evening. We will be back tomorrow and as long as it takes to reverse this Federal funding freeze. Today was a good day. It was a…

The Trump administration’s climate and energy policies are not a mystery; it is to exacerbate the climate crisis.

the threat of a pardon will bring the Southern District to the table on this.

If this thing went anonymously as a vote, it would be 70 votes against.

if it weren't for a judge's temporary administrative stay, we would still be in the middle of Trump's pointless and illegal shutdown right now. Federal funding for a whole host of things would be frozen, meaning people all over the country…

He torpedoes it and makes it even worse. And it takes years to recover.

He totally flopped in his hearing today. Didn't know the difference, as you reported, between Medicare and Medicaid, which is totally fundamental to Health and Human Services.

if you heard your doctor say there is no vaccine that is safe or effective or there are much better candidates than HIV for what causes AIDS or school shootings started happening with the introduction of Prozac and other drugs--if your…
