We will not and should not tolerate the escalation by this rogue regime in North Korea.

I believe the sanctions on North Korea promoted by President Trump have been successful.

I was grateful in September to lead a delegation to South Korea. Of course, we visited the DMZ.

Mr. Speaker, all American families benefit when the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high of nearly 26,000 last week. Students benefit as college endowments grow, reducing tuition costs. Retirees benefit as their retirement…

I think that one of the things that Donald Trump is having difficulty doing is understanding his past, understanding that many of us are not fooled by anything that he does today.

Now is not the time to be a coward. Now is the time to stand up.

The president and all those attending the meeting know what I said and how I feel. I've always believed that America is an idea not defined by its people but by its ideals.
