It's not just gas prices. You are about to see a spike in the cost of technological products, automobiles, fabrics, clothing, medical devices, everything is getting more expensive because of one person's insane decision.

The scoreboard is gas prices… Let's just put this in real terms. If you're a commuter in this country who has a longer than average commute, you are probably buying somewhere short of 1,000 gallons a year in auto fuel. And so when the…

I think we all are angry that our colleagues are not allowing this body to do its job. But we are also angry that the cost of this war is not being borne by members of the United States Senate, is not being borne by Donald Trump's…

How do we or the American public assess the success of the mission when you’ve stated publicly the purpose of the mission is to destroy their missile and drone capabilities?

If this goes on for another 30 days, there are going to be thousands more farms that will go bankrupt, there are going to be families that are going to be ruined.

Time is not on our side here. I believe you are being way too optimistic in your assessment of their potential to cave.

How are we going to get the strait open? Because nothing matters more to our constituents than doing something about these spiraling gas prices which are bankrupting families and farmers all across the country.

As a hockey dad, I’ve seen how viciously these private equity companies rip families off.

Decades of bad policy decisions have segregated our schools and created a system where students of color and low-income kids are forced to settle for less.

I think if we did, it'd be a really dangerous prescription – especially for states like Connecticut.

It's just ultimately going to be less money to do the job.

We have two programs in Connecticut – Hartford and New Haven – that have served kids very well for a long time.

The president is not spending his time right now trying to end this war. Reports are that the president has become bored of the Iran war, and that's why we're in a stalemate.

This week, they will probably hit $5 a gallon in Connecticut. That will put a lot of my small businesses out of business, if gas prices remain at $5 through this summer.

In hearings last week, the administration suggested that the cost of the war is about $29 billion. To most military experts, that just didn't pass the straight face test, the smell test...

The Founding Fathers were really intentional in lodging the war making power not in the executive branch, but in the legislative branch.

Government can help set up the conditions so that we can have more connected, happier, more vibrant communities.

The common good is about living in a world where you care about yourself but others as well.

I think for all the focus on Donald Trump and the news of the day, people in this country know there is a deeper story in this country, and that is we are a less connected culture today.

Maybe the next president will just keep it as a hole in the ground to remind us to never ever elect somebody this corrupt and this reckless again.

Donald Trump is one of the most unpopular presidents at this point in his presidency in history

I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.
