The governor, none of us, have that power. It's for the voters to decide, and the voters have an independent commission.

I think that the president betrayed his promise to his base by getting into a war with Iran.

We should, in this country, have healthcare from the day we are born.

This is about rich and powerful men who are connected to the highest levels of government here and possibly overseas, who engage in the abuse and assault of young girls.

Sunlight is the best thing we can do to restore people's trust in government, to restore the sense that government is there for the people, not for rich and powerful elites.

I call this a new economic patriotism, an economic message that actually centers on the working class in this country.

Right now, the focus has to be how do we win 30, 40 seats back in the House.

Their party wants to take health care away from working class families. We want to expand health care to make sure every working family has health care, and they don't have these outrageous premiums and deductibles.

It’s just not true that this has anything to do with fiscal responsibility.

What it will do is deprive our children of things like Daniel Tiger, educational programming.

It is a devastating blow to our robust democracy and education.

But I do not believe we need a $1 trillion budget to have a strong, modern defense.

the grand jury testimony is largely about Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell—and not about all the rich and powerful men... who have abused our children.

It’s a devastating blow to the education of our children in America and to our democracy.

This is not just about Epstein. This is about rich and powerful men who are connected to the highest levels of government here and possibly overseas, who engage in the abuse and assault of young girls. And they're being treated with…

People ask me: why should we care about the Epstein files when Americans are losing healthcare & their rights? Because trust matters.

Whose side are you on? Today, the Democrats are on the side of the people. The Democrats are on the side of the children. There are 10 Republicans who are on the side of the people and the children, but the entire Democratic Party is on…

This is a matter of whose side are you on. Are you for protecting rich and powerful men or are you for making sure that there's accountability given that they abused, assaulted and abandoned young girls?

A nation that does not hold powerful men accountable is a nation that has lost its moral purpose.

I am going to fight with everything I can just to make sure that this file gets released.

last night, the Speaker's Rules Committee voted to block my amendment that called for the full release of the Epstein files while protecting the victims' identity. Let's just be clear. They voted to protect rich and powerful men who were…

We won’t stop until the files are released. This may have been our first attempt, but the public will not be gas-lit. We will keep fighting for transparency.

it is a question of the rebirth of a nation that stands for our children. I hope everyone in this up-or-down vote will vote to make sure that the Epstein files are released while protecting victims' identity.

Rules voted 5-7 to block the full House from voting on my amendment to have a FULL release of the Epstein file. People are fed up. They are fed up. Thanks ⁦@RepRalphNorman⁩. Need to put the American people before party!

People are fed up. They are fed up. Need to put the American people before party!
