Nobody in this country is asking for war with Iran, just like, months ago, no one in this country was asking for war with Venezuela.

The president is obligated under the Constitution to come to Congress and ask for an authorization of military force.

This president is intentionally tanking our economy. He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation.

We can demand that ICE stop murdering American citizens, and we can demand that the administration not send our kids to die for a war that we don't need.

We can do two things at once. We can demand that ICE stop murdering American citizens, and we can demand that the administration not send our kids to die for a war that we don't need.

The people want ICE to start behaving legally, and they don't want wars overseas.

We are going to have regional war breaking out.

This is a disaster. It is illegal.

This is an insane plan.

There’s really no explanation for how American interests are changed at all with a Rodríguez administration that right now seems to be intent on carrying through and carrying forward the policies of Nicolás Maduro.

I certainly was among those who, 12 months ago or six months ago, dismissed his talk of taking over Greenland as an intentional distraction.

It would be very strange if, on the heels of the American people rewarding Democrats, we surrendered without getting anything.

I don’t think you’re going to get Democratic votes talking about abortion.

If we end up passing a full-year budget or a series of continuing resolutions that involve no protections for democracy or health care, that’s a really bad outcome for the country.

There is still a net good that comes from this.

We are not always a party that has great message discipline and we kept the conversation focused on the most important topic, which is Republican destruction of people’s health care.

If we choose to get rolled by Donald Trump because the shutdown is hard, I worry that that’s a significant step towards the ultimate unwinding of our democracy.

Democrats have looked pretty weak for most of this year and, over the last month, we have shown strength for the first time.

Important lessons, such as focus on shifting economic power, and that the elites have little idea what’s actually mainstream.

People aren’t dummy.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans' face never ceases to stun me.

He sounds like a human being to me, a human being who made mistakes, recognizes them and is very open about it.

I’m sick and tired of talking about ways to manage the shutdown when Republicans are refusing to even negotiate.

Big rallies like this give confidence to people who have been sitting on the sidelines but are ready to speak up.
