Trump promised a better economy, but all he's delivering is higher prices and chaos.

You were promised the full Epstein files. You got this.

I'm all for efficiency, but I'm also for protecting the people who count on the government.

Well, they should understand, my colleagues, that people are scared. They're pissed off. They don't want us to be nice. They want us to use the leverage that we have.

That is because public sentiment. So we are not helpless either. People at home should know that your reaction, your disapproval of Donald Trump calling Vladimir Zelenskyy a dictator and siding with Putin, that has put Trump in a position…

The courts are finally catching up to Trump's chaos and corruption. And people in my district, at a town hall on Tuesday night, they're scared, they're concerned, they're anxious. But we're seeing now that the courts can at least be a…

They have essentially the Trump administration shut down the government.

This was completely unnecessary, Sara. And what concerns me is that House Republicans, you know, they have like a 5 or 6 seat margin right now. And they allowed Musk to completely own them.

For Democrats, I think the message we have to convey is Republicans. They're going to fight for the rich. We're for the rest.

Donald Trump has been a perennial loser in Congress.

If you shrink now, he is going -- Musk is going to own you for the next two years. So you have to stand up against him, against a bully and show that you're going to defend your constituents and their priorities.

Well, to the president, I say no seriously, who is your pick for attorney general? Because this pick is a middle finger to Democrats and sane Republicans.

I believe that Senators Murkowski, Collins, Cassidy, Tillis and, of course the Democrats are going to put pressure on him not to do that.

What in the hell is this?

We have a divided Congress. So, we had to settle for Republicans and Democrats coming together for the Safer Communities Act.

On gun violence, I want an assault weapons ban and background checks.

I believe in security. I want barriers on our Southern border at every place that makes sense.

I'm truly sorry that this has happened to your loved ones and the persons responsible for the deaths... should die in jail and then rot in hell.

They don't want a compromise. Donald Trump walked away from the second most conservative Republican in the Senate offering a compromise.

I find it extremely disappointing that our colleagues are willing to abandon this history of progress to promote a political agenda questioning vaccine efficacy and encouraging people to avoid vaccination is not just dangerous, it is…

Joe Biden was right when he said it was time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans 32 years ago. He's still right today.

Let's talk about subpoenas for just one second because two of your last speakers are 750-plus days in defiance of a subpoena. Get real when Mr. Jordan and Mr. Biggs come to this floor and want to talk and get all righteous about subpoenas…
