Barbara Boxer: “I want to welcome my partner in writing this bill, Senator John Kerry.”

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

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.

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

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