Climate change is the existential threat of our lifetimes, and it is a complex problem that can only be solved by an aggressive transformation of our energy economy.

I am concerned that the absence of that analysis is being used to justify or rationalize harmful and regulatory decisions.
I just will not buy the argument that economic hardship accompanies public health protections.
Yes, climate change is the world's biggest public health challenge today, but it is also an incredible opportunity for all of us.

Having an immigration system that works and having a judicial system that works with respect to immigration matters a great deal to my constituents and the people that I represent in Colorado.
I would hope that my colleagues... respect the people who came forward, who have served under Republican and Democratic administrations.
Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty but also by the abuse of power.
No President in the history of this Republic has ever completely defied an impeachment inquiry as this one has.
This President's obstruction of Congress has been total, has been absolute, and has been categorical.
