To me, it still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months.

These strikes did a lot of damage to those three facilities.

Some of Iran’s capabilities are so far underground that we can never reach them.

What this bill represents is the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country.

I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the program.

You cannot bomb knowledge out of existence — no matter how many scientists you kill.

To me, it still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months.

The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated.

In the last 20 years, we have seen the untold damage done—the lives lost, the billions of dollars wasted, and our reputation squandered—and we won't allow Trump to take us down that path again.

This is a moment where Congress needs to step in.

This is also a moment for the American people to stand up and say we do not want another war in the Middle East.

Sen. Chris Murphy, from Connecticut, have accused Noem of spending a lot of her money really fast.

I do not think there's support in this country for the United States to go to war again in the Middle East.

An assault on the rule of law

Trump is clearly trying to scare his opposition into silence, and that is definitely one of the ways that democracies die.

We’re about to kick 15 million people off their health care to fund a $270,000 tax cut for the richest families.

In the first week, Trump removed 7,300 people. On average, Biden was removing 15,000 a week…These guys are terrible at everything.

Trump isn't trying to heal or keep the peace. He is looking to inflame and divide.

How do you get that done? You distract people by making them think that they’re at war with other Americans ‒ making them think that they have something to fear from people who look different from them or speak a different language.

I don’t understand any conception of civil rights law to give you the authorization to micromanage viewpoint diversity on campus.

I don’t think there’s an ounce of sincerity in Elon Musk’s interest in trying to reduce red ink.

Elections are important, but if we don’t stop Trump’s attempts to destroy our democracy right now, there won’t be a free and fair election for Democrats to run in next fall.

So the reality is, this bill is about life and death. ... I wish Joni and others saw the immorality of what they’re doing.

I think everybody in that audience knows that they’re going to die. They would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90, instead of dying at 40.

When rural hospitals close because of this bill, when drug treatment clinics close in Iowa and rural America because of this bill, more people will die at a younger age.
