We are not coming back, and we are not going to fight you any more.

They literally put in a box that you had to withdraw all U.S. forces, or else they essentially would start attacking our forces again.

So Donald Trump executed not only the surrender agreement but also 70 to 80 percent of the surrender of the withdrawal.

The goal is not to prevent the former president from running again, the goal should be to hold them accountable.

He absolutely did when we did a House impeachment trial, I presented their section on the former President's efforts to overturn the election by pressuring the Department Justice to just make stuff up.

Merrick Garland has not been Attorney General for all that long. It's been about half a year so far. So, I'm willing to give him a chance to look at all the evidence.

As members of Congress, we request that you conduct an investigation into whether Barrack or any other friends of the former president were given special treatment by the U.S. Justice Department during the last administration, and whether…

I am pleased that we now see more Republicans going public and telling people to get vaccinated. It is this amazing miracle of science that we got these amazing vaccines they’re very effective at protecting you not only from the original…

It’s like dangling the shiny object. See, here, look at it.

Two Democratic lawmakers, House Representative Ted Lieu and Kathleen Rice are requesting an investigation into whether Mr. Barrack's case was potentially suppressed by the previous administration.

That wonderful tax cut for American families with children, did any Republican congressman vote for it?

That is correct. Even though a number of them took credit for that program, they actually didn't vote for it. So I don't want the American people to be confused. If your Republican Member of Congress claims credit for the American Rescue…

5 days ago, millions of American families with children received Child Tax Credit refunds deposited directly into their bank account. This is hundreds of dollars that they could use for childcare expenses, to put gas in their cars to go to…

That's right. It was Democrats in the House, Democrats in the Senate that got the American Rescue Plan signed into law, and President Biden enacted it. Some of you may wonder, well, what else is in this American Rescue Plan. So we have…

I would ask to engage Representative Neguse in a colloquy to ask a question.

Williams deserves better from the law enforcement agencies entrusted to use a technology that we all know is less accurate when applied to citizens who look like him.

It basically requires a warrant for most cases of the use of facial recognition technology.

We have worked on legislation that is essentially complete now.

I am super excited that you called this hearing.

Six months ago, the forever-impeached president incited an insurrection; 140 police officers were injured, some severely. Multiple people lost their lives. There was significant property damage.

It’s sheer hypocrisy by the radical right. At the same time, I note that Leader McConnell and Republicans did give people a lot of money. It’s just that those folks were corporate folks and the 1 percent of our nation. So it’s not as if…

There is one way to reduce further political violence, and that is if Republican leaders would simply say one truthful sentence: The election was not stolen.

If they want the same, the content of that electronic letter on a cloud, they will need a warrant signed by a judge, right?
