It's understandable that there are a lot of Democrats out there who want us to be fighting harder. I mean, Trump is lighting our democracy on fire. And so it's frankly a good sign.
Our only opportunity, our only chance to save our democracy is to fight fire with fire right now. We’re at a war right now to save this country, and so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country.
We are not living in a democracy. There is no rule of law if you pledge allegiance to the leader and you get immunity.
I’m sick and tired of talking about ways to manage the shutdown when Republicans are refusing to even negotiate.
