This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won't understand how the tariffs make economic sense. That's because they don't. They aren't designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super…

The people still have the power.

I take the Senator's point, my friend's point. I am probing tonight for the why because it is the obvious question. It doesn't make sense, right? On its face, this intentional chaos--this intentional chaos in Social Security, in Medicare…

You would give anything, right? Anything. You would give your life savings, your house. You would perhaps give your own life in order to protect your child or your brother or sister or mother or father from physical harm. So when you and I…

There is so much similarity between the debate that you are forcing this Senate to have tonight and the debate that we were having back in 2016 on this epidemic of gun violence. I would describe it this way. The only thing that matters…

There’s not a single day that goes by, seemingly, without a court order reversing something blatantly illegal the White House has done.

Ultimately, popular mobilization is the only way to tame Trump.

Americans want the Democratic Party to stand up and fight and to take risks

They are getting ready to destroy Social Security. Because the billionaires don't need it.

By passing a bill that makes their plan easier to implement, Democrats risk putting a bipartisan veneer of endorsement on their campaign to give our government to the billionaires and to destroy the rule of law.

The question is really for the members of his Democratic caucus: Are we willing to fight?

But it would have sent a message that the Democratic Party is not going to be bullied by Donald Trump.

The only way that we are going to be effective as a caucus is if we change our tactics.

Americans want the Democratic Party to stand up and fight and to take risks.

I don’t think we have a year to save American democracy.

What’s important is that we meet this moment. And what I’m telling you is that if we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone.

If we don’t get that right, if we continue to work with Republicans, if we continue to hand Donald Trump more power, we are going to lose our democracy.

I think Democrats in this country, but I think the broad middle of the public as well, want to see our party fighting in exceptional ways.

Senator Schumer certainly can lead this caucus. He can lead this caucus. But we need to have a conversation inside the caucus about whether we are willing to stand up to Republicans.

Just because the corruption plays out in public doesn’t mean it’s not corruption.

If our new reality is that a president can disappear an opposition protester, with no charges filed against then, we are not America any longer. Today it’s Mahmoud Khalil. Tomorrow, it’s me or you.

Just because the corruption plays out in public doesn’t mean it’s not corruption.

Richard is providing this gift, which is a safe place to talk about these issues and help on terminology and language.

We’ve been on this journey since the 1980s to lionize the individual and marginalize the common good, and I think that’s been really harmful for men.

I think it's gonna be a MAGA pep rally.
