Let me be clear. January 6 was a symptom of a broader illness, an effort to delegitimize our election process.

When circumstances change, the rules have to change.

Too much is at stake.

The new Republican Party, under the leadership of Donald Trump, is viciously against voting rights and trying to take those away.

January 6 was a symptom of a broader illness, an effort to delegitimize our election process.

If we don’t change the rules, the Republicans will block this, and our democracy could be at risk.

If Republicans continue to hijack the rules of the chamber to prevent action on something as critical as protecting our democracy, then the Senate will debate and consider changes to the rules on or before January 17, Martin Luther King…

We must adapt. The Senate must evolve, like it has many times before.

What happened on January 6 is a direct continued -- continuation of or the big lie. The idea that January 6 is totally a one off is wrong. It`s now being perpetrated by this attempt to take away voting rights.

Circumstances have changed dramatically with Donald Trump, the big lie, the violence of January 6, and all the efforts to take away voting rights.

the Senate will vote to change filibuster rules to advance voting rights by Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Schools play a role of safety and stability for our children. And that is why the chancellor and I, an entire team of educators across the city, we have been so focused on keeping our schools open and sending that message. We`re not…

We`re not in a good place. I`m going to be really honest with you. This is the winter surge we predicted.

We're going to examine the numbers. If we feel we have to get to the place of making that mandatory, we're going to do that.

If we close down our city, it is as dangerous as COVID.

COVID is a formidable opponent. And we must pivot.
