this week, Donald Trump spent his time doing three things: golfing at Mar-a-Lago; announcing his latest set of tariffs that will cost families $3,800 more a year and that are so chaotic and far-reaching that they included retaliatory…

The Trump administration has been using the Justice Department to go after the president's political enemies — firing prosecutors who uphold the law, attacking law firms that refuse to do his bidding, and seeking to dismiss cases against…

And I will tell you, I approached that case as a prosecutor would approach a case--that I just needed to prove the President guilty of what he was charged with. But it became apparent very quickly that that was not enough, that…

Well, this gets to exactly, Senator Booker, your point. I am optimistic about this country, notwithstanding this deep, difficult, dark period we are in. I am optimistic about this country, and I am optimistic because of something that…

They are going after major American law firms because these law firms had the audacity, the unmitigated temerity to hire lawyers or have lawyers who would take on causes inimical to the President's personal interests. So they are going…

Let me ask the question this way. I was in the airport yesterday when someone handed me a note that said: ``Please save our country.'' ``Please save our country.'' And I think the genesis of the note was her profound concern over the…

They are going after the institutions of higher learning. This was an attack that was presaged by JD Vance years ago in his speech where he talked about ``the professors are the enemy.'' They have to go after ``the seat of learning.'' So…

I stand corrected. I am happy not to engage in a dialogue with you but to ask you a question.

Now, some of those big ideas are not new. Medicare for all, which I support, is a big idea. That would expand healthcare access for millions of people and make sure people, parents can go to work and understand if they get sick or their…

And you remind us of this all the time, Senator Booker. You really do. You also remind us that we are not defined by what we are against. We are defined by what we are for. And I am fully on the same page with you that we haven't lived up…

I thank you for being here, Senator Booker. I always knew you were a towering intellect and a phenomenal and passionate speaker and advocate, but I did not know your stamina until today, and I am delighted to join you on the floor and have…

I would like to believe he said this: America is a great country because America is a good country. If he didn't say it, he should have said it, because it is true. This country is what makes me an optimist. There are wonderful, beautiful…

There certainly could be a criminal offense here.

We’re going to have to figure out a way where leadership in the House and leadership in the Senate is on the same page.

The only way we’re going to be able to stop bad things from happening is if we’re unified.

Your threats will not intimidate us.

a bad day for our country – and for the Democratic Party.

It's maybe their way of trying to shut down the government.

It's a grab bag of Republican priorities that’s maybe their way of trying to shut down the government.

It's really on them to produce majorities for whatever it is they want to pass.

The resolution was akin to a 'Get Out of Jail Free Card' for Musk.

My office is hearing from affected homeowners who are having difficulty accessing their ALE benefits until they can safely return home.
