I told Trump that I would continue voting in favor of war powers resolutions until the White House briefed Congress on the war.

Trust no one. If you work in that snake pit, you can’t say anything, you can’t do anything.

Now we have to trust but verify, but as they laid it out, they have a plausible plan by which to achieve those, and that's what I was interested in.

We need a fully funded Department of Homeland Security.

Let's clean that up. Let's make it easier to create jobs and grow opportunities for people in this country.

If you're not telling me answers, I'm going to push for those answers.

You cannot recognize who the Democrats are anymore. This is surely not your father or grandfather's Democrat Party. They've fully embraced socialism.

Stay tuned. We’re working through that.

Steve, I would consider changing my vote, but I've been voting yes because I've not been briefed.

That’s exactly what we did this year. If you look at the descriptions of what we struck out, it’s overwhelmingly NGO funding, which is in line with my desire to be the best stewards of taxpayer dollars.

I make no apologies for standing up to the president.

But I again matched his tone and volume.

They’re leaking like a sieve.

I think if we want to get more money for defense, we have to do it through reconciliation, which means we need to start immediately.

The larger issue is this … they’re leaking.

An American business’s tax dollars should not go to a foreign competitor that is trying to undercut the business paying the taxes. If we apply this principle, it will protect the Louisiana shrimping industry, the jobs, and their families.

I am sticking up for the American people, even if I’m speaking to the president.

You know, whatever, you know, comes to mind as to demean another person. Of course, I lost the election. Way to observe that!
