If you claim you back the blue, but want to defund the police when the police go to your nominee's house to retrieve national security secrets, you might be in a cult.

A jury can't hold it against Donald Trump that he did not testify in his own defense in New York, but he promised everyone else in the country that he would.

I just want to get this straight. Mr. Gaetz wants the Attorney General to reopen and publicize evidence from an investigation that a Donald Trump-appointed prosecutor closed against President Biden while, at the same time, Mr. Gaetz…

Before anyone else on the other side saddles up and gets on their high legal horses, I just want to remind the Committee that the Chair is 754 days into his own subpoena defiance.

I take great comfort in knowing that nothing my Republican colleagues say about you here will change the thoughtfulness and decency that mark your leadership of the Department.

These Republicans don't care what's in the interest of the American people. They just care about getting their favorite felon back in the White House.

What does this mean for parents in America as it relates to whether our kids are going to be sheltering in place and hiding under their desks for the rest of their time at school, if this was to happen?

This is a pretext for violence.

The majority says that it stands with law enforcement, so why does it seek to abolish the only law enforcement agency with the capability of tracing crime guns?

I have never heard somebody suggest that we were trying to--that the FBI was trying to assassinate a former President.

As Republicans continue to seek freedom from gun regulations, we will continue to seek communities free from gun violence.

Democrats have put forth a range of solutions to prevent gun violence, to support law enforcement, and to solve crimes.

We are losing more than 100 Americans to gun violence every single day.

I just fear that at, you know, a child's earliest days in schools that there are going to be two classes created: those who are given access to AI in their classrooms and those who are not.

When you talk to creatives they are not opposed to AI and that is such a basic hot take, which is, oh, they oppose AI.

AI certainly it is the future. There is no ignoring it. There is no putting it back in the bottle.

I think we are at our best as a committee when we are taking on issues like this.

Everyone who purports to call themselves a leader must unequivocally condemn such calls to violence.

Every American should understand that political violence has no place in our country or in our political discourse.

Let's be clear: There is no place for violence, threats, intimidation, or harassment against students, faculty, or other school community members because they are Jewish.

Police don't give a rip about politics. They just want to serve the community.

So to me when I hear some of my colleagues again, not all of them, but some of them on this committee thump their chest and say they back the blue. But then they're going to call January 6 convict a hostage. That's not backing the blue…

I support legislation on the Judiciary Committee that would make assaulting or committing a battery against a law enforcement officer a separate class of crimes.

This is not the Republican Party. This is a cult of personality where Donald Trump exercises totalitarian control.

I strongly suspect the defendant may be watching or his minions or others, no, Donald, even a President can't shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and get away with it.
