The election results ought to send a much-needed bolt of lightning to Donald Trump that he should meet with us to end this crisis and his shutdown, which he admits hurt him badly in the election.

When you cave, you lose.

The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys.

If Democrats don’t stop playing games, it’s time to blow up the filibuster.

I don’t know how much more loudly I can say this in this building: This has to end.

That will cause even more and more socially conservative Democrats around the country to say, 'My party’s left me.'

It’s an absolute failure what occurred here for the last month.

We all have more power than we think. We just have to use it.

We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.

We deserve better than this.

We can’t even get our sh*t together and just open up our government.

People aren’t dummy.

We don’t need to speculate about the dangers to our democracy. We don’t need to wonder about whether vulnerable people are going to be hurt, or ask ourselves how much more coarse and mean our culture can become. We’ve witnessed it…

Last night should make it clear to Republicans that they simply cannot continue to ignore not only us, but the American people, for the good of the whole country.

My message is to my Democrat friends; we better find a way to get to the table real fast. Because if you're putting me to a choice between, are people going to eat, or am I going to defend the arcane filibuster rules, I'm going to choose…

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight

Debanking is a real problem.

I’m just confused why this idea has come around, considering the fact that not only does their religion not agree with ours, but also openly supports the prosecution of ours.
