Our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left. Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream.

Former senators
If I see a reconciliation bill come from the House with another failed attempt to confuse this election, I will use every device I have available to slow down the wheels of government until people cop a clue and do the math.
If our party ever becomes — and just makes it official — the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me.
For nearly half a century, the outdated 'duration of status' system has compromised national security and created an environment ripe for immigration fraud.
Trump is laying the groundwork to dismantle our elections, overturn results he does not like, cancel the will of the people, and hold onto power by any means necessary.
All of us, regardless of our political views, must stand together against this dangerous president who is seeking to undermine our Constitution and our basic freedoms.
At a time when millions of Americans are finding it harder to pay for groceries, housing, and healthcare, when the climate crisis is causing record heatwaves and forest fires, Donald Trump felt it appropriate tonight to spew conspiracy…
President Trump and I are on the same page.
It’s always a tragedy when someone is killed.
He’s putting the best spin on it he can, but I can read and so can you, and I think his interpretation is not necessarily the only one.
We needed to set the record straight there because I think some people are under the impression that just because he says, ‘Well, we’re not going to pursue the weaponization fund,’ that it couldn’t be revived at a later time.
I think the polling is very clear. The overwhelming majority of Democrats, I think it’s about 75%, believe that we should not be providing military aid to a country which has committed genocide in Gaza.
Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to public service, and he was appointed legally by the federal judges in the Western District of Washington.
They know they can’t win the election fair and square. So we don’t put it past them to try whatever they can.
I would encourage every American to tune in tonight to the President’s speech. This may be the most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The time for complacency with China is over.
If Trump wins, it’s a fair election. If he loses, there was fraud.
This is all just a prelude to interfere in our midterms — don’t fall for it.
Here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen; we won and he lost.
Too many Americans have fought and died to defend American democracy.
We need workhorses in the Senate, and we need someone who can do that job from day one. This is not a place for on-the-job training.
I think we need to have more facts. Look into it. Republicans are rightly concerned about the possible breach of norms and improper access to email.
It would restart our fight in the courts for sanity in birthright citizenship. While the Supreme Court’s decision threatens to destroy American citizenship, I am fighting to defend it.
