I think our military cares more about the loss of civilian life than any military in the world, any superpower ever in history.
I can't predict the actions of Senator Sinema and if this deal goes down, it will be on her shoulders.
Why is it that one senator should have this much power? I mean, you know, we're in a democracy, where one senator is holding things up and the Senate parliamentarian it's absurd, really, to be this dysfunctional as a system.
It's important for people to realize this. This is not progressives versus moderates. This is the entire Democratic Party and Joe Biden versus Kyrsten Sinema.
It means giving affordable childcare to everyone watching. It means seniors are finally going to get dental and hearing aids covered. It means that if you're sick, you're going to get paid leave.
The President has already won me over I'm on his side as by the way is 99% of the Democratic Party. We want to deliver on his message for the working and middle class.
The reason they’ve gotten away with this is because, frankly, Democrats haven’t controlled Congress that much over the last 20 some years.
They’re very active. I mean, the clean energy standard, in my view, is the most important part about the reconciliation bill.
Disclosure laws, I think every elected official, for example, should have to disclose any foreign payments that you're receiving while in office.

And that's why we need his tax returns. Perfectly reasonable. If a member of Congress was receiving foreign payments, I think the American public would want to know.
The really scary part, Chris, is what if Republicans do this again in the future and try to defer to state legislatures to elect a Republican candidate even if the Democrat wins overwhelmingly the popular vote in those states.
There was a plan. And the reason it matters to look backwards is because they could try to use this plan in the future.
That is the smoking gun. It’s unnerving how close Trump came to using the full weight of the Justice Department to overturn the election result.
They haven`t done it, and it`s because there are a lot of special interests that are involved.
I share the view that we need to win on China, but China is actually marching ahead on a lot of these technologies.
It's about making sure that we finally have new manufacturing jobs in communities that have been left behind.
President Biden wants to close that gap. He wants to say that it is not fair that people in rural America may have flooding or breathe air that is not as clean.
Thank you for your incredible leadership with the climate crisis. There is no one in Congress who cares more about the climate crisis than you.
