I think that is going to allay many of the concerns that folks had, certainly mine.

I was very pleased with the Administration's announcement that DOJ would be issuing a proposed rule within 60 days to tighten regulations on pistol-stabilizing braces.

I sent a letter to the President and to the Department of Justice, along with 100 of my colleagues, requesting the Administration use its authority to regulate concealable assault-style firearms that fire rifle rounds.

We have introduced a bill to ban the use of ketamine in custodial settings.

I was heartened to hear that the Department is engaged in a review of its use of force policies.

The question facing the Senate is a binary question whether they will save democracy or not. I`m certainly not optimistic about the vote on Wednesday. I think the cloture vote is likely to fail.

Earlier this year, I introduced a resolution that recognizes the critical importance of access to reliable, clean drinking water for Native Americans and Alaska Natives, and confirms the responsibility of the Federal Government to ensure…

We urge you to pass this legislation as soon as possible.

The evisceration of Congressional oversight really is nearing crisis levels.

If witnesses can defy subpoenas without consequence, then congressional oversight really no longer exists.

I think the White House made the right call and a prudent step forward to ultimately direct the National Archives to disregard any spurious claim of intellect -- excuse me, of executive privilege.

I thank the gentlewoman for her remarks. Those of us who have had the privilege to work with the gentlewoman from Texas know that her ability to speak truth to power really is second to none, and I think her argument is as compelling as it…

The gentleman couldn't be more right. And certainly, the good news, for those that are watching, is that House Democrats are committed to doing everything that we need to do to ensure that the full faith and credit of the United States is…

Well, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Again, he couldn't be more right in terms of the hypocrisy of some on this particular issue and the adherence to, I think, the morally correct and economically correct position that so many on…

I thank the distinguished gentleman for his comments. He couldn't be more right. He raises a real salient point, which is the hypocrisy of the minority leader in the United States Senate and the position that he is taking today in…

I couldn`t agree more with what Representative Gonzalez said. And I hope that more Americans listen to his message to the extent that we can actually debate policy issues in an intellectual way and not have this descend into threats.

It`s just as vitriolic as it was before.

The threat is very real. And one of the distinctions of this particular era that we`re living in that I find so disturbing is the normalization of political violence.

He chose to choose ultimately rather a country over party and put country over party during the course of that impeachment trial and refuse to capitulate to President Trump.

I think it`s a troubling development for the health of our democracy and our ability to function as a constitutional republic.

I think, as you said, as a policy matter, Democrats believe in good government. We believe in ethics and government. And that means independent, nonpartisan redistricting, which is you know, Chris, is wildly popular on a bipartisan basis…

I hope that the Congress will get the message in doing the same in Washington.

Politicians shouldn`t be in charge of drawing district lines. That job should ultimately be one handled by a nonpartisan commission like the one in Colorado.

My colleague from California is certainly right about one thing, the Build Back Better plan would raise taxes on billionaires. The tax cuts that ultimately were approved by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle several years ago for…

You know what is interesting? I don't remember the ranking member complaining about the deficit 3 years ago when they passed tax cuts for billionaires across our country to the tune of $2 trillion in terms of adding it to the deficit. I…
