It is insane that you can be denied the purchase of a weapon because you are a felon and then go out in the parking lot and buy the same gun.

Whenever you see a disparity between what the American people want and what they get there is usually a powerful special interest at work.

I thought, I think like many Americans, that after the tragedy of Sandy Hook it would finally be enough...

I have been carrying a bill now for six or eight years to repeal the immunity that the gun industry has...

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle treat you like you are some kind of a mass shooter instead of someone trying to protect us from the epidemic of gun violence.

Well, we can see now what the GOP has become. It has become the anti-ATF, anti-FBI, anti-law enforcement, pro-insurrection party.

I rise today to applaud the historic investments in the future of our nation's transportation and infrastructure systems.

I strongly urge you to continue pushing for viable solutions to the consumer protection and noise issues plaguing my constituents at O'Hare.

We should insist on prevailing wages, the use of local labor, and project labor agreements to ensure that the work is done well.

As we preserve, repair, and rebuild American roads and bridges, airports, and water systems, we must also expand on them.

It is clear that the FAA reauthorization affects all Americans--and it is our duty to serve them.

That this process will be the same for a former President as it would be for his lawyer or his driver or his doorman or his neighbor is the strength of a democracy, not its weakness.

Nor is that the role of Congress. Quite the opposite. Our role should be to defend the rule of law, not tear it down.

More than right, it means that you are beyond the reach of the law and beyond accountability. The more power, the less justice. This is not democracy. This is the antithesis of democracy.

This Committee has used every means at its disposal to disrupt, interrupt, and interfere with the prosecution.

There was a time in America when both parties used to believe in the rule of law, but, sadly, those days are over.

The Manhattan District Attorney has the burden of proving Donald Trump guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Our role should be to defend the rule of law, not tear it down.

Of course, it is not a coincidence that we are here in Manhattan. Instead, it is the GOP leadership in Congress doing what it has done best over the last six years, and that is to act as the criminal defense counsel for Donald J. Trump.

Of course, this is not a coincidence at all.

What a remarkable coincidence, we are meant to believe.

Let me tell you this--let me tell you this--

This kind of political violence is not normal.

Any reasonable person can see the difference between threats of political violence and legitimate political discourse.
