Good on Gavin Newsom for being the bigger person to show up and say, Mr. President, I'm glad you're here.

It is absolutely false to say that FEMA is getting in the way.

I think what our governor is doing, he's saying to the president without so many words, this -- this is a moment we have to come together for the people who are hurting. And by the way, you don't attach strings about, you know, voting to…

The way the Senate works, as you know, it`s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.

The point -- but I do think there`s an important point to this poll. And that is, we Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is…

The way the Senate works, as you know, it’s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

This is a sad moment, we always had two parties, one was to the right of center, one was to the left of center, and we never had a party, so extreme and so willing to become the party of grievance and anger and division.

Frankly, anyone who runs on that as an issue should be defeated, overwhelmingly by everybody.

They've sold their soul, this party used to be called the Grand Old Party. And now it's a cowardly party of lies.

It's up to his colleagues to determine if they want such a coward, such a liar, to be their leader, and or maybe even speaker.

I think Justice Thomas is very aware of the legacy of the court.

I still think it would be good for someone to introduce articles of impeachment, to lay out this abuse of power for everyone to stay.

I thought if Clarence Thomas had been a senator, and his wife was texting the president, the president’s chief of staff about overturning democracy, Clarence Thomas, if he were a senator would have been thrown out of the Senate, if he knew…

I think Joe Biden is starting to channel Harry Truman. And anyone who knows a little bit about Harry Truman knows that Harry Truman in 1948 was giving a big speech, and he was going through the list point by point of how Republicans were…

It`s just not healthy for a society that prides itself on a thriving middle class to be losing the middle class.

When people lose hope that they can`t make it from poverty into the middle class, and then when they`re stuck in the lower middle class, they can`t make it a little bit higher, it`s a very unhappy place for the country.

They`re not paying their fair share.

That`s why it`s so important -- and I hate to shift to something more parochial -- that Joe Biden`s vision of this Build Back Better, because that`s investing in the human infrastructure.

A rising tide lifts all boats, it was true then. It`s not really true now.

It’s a very big deal.

Senator Boxer is here talking about whether it’s really time to take the obstruction filibuster away from Mitch McConnell.

I hope they carve out voting rights.

It`s time to change it.
