It's a different Republican Party, and, I think, shame on us as Democrats if we don't actually try to understand it.

Their dedication, expertise, and institutional knowledge are invaluable to advancing American interests, supporting our allies, and responding to crises around the globe.

I’m a fan of independent redistricting commissions, but the fact that Republicans are playing by a different set of rules, I think it doesn’t make any sense that we’re disarming ourselves.

But those exchanges depend on trust and the ability to study, speak, and engage without fear of harassment or arbitrary detention.
