Republicans, as you see now, are saying the quiet things out loud. They are telling America they`re rooting for higher prices, because they think that will help them politically.

to do that in the middle of a pandemic, to do that at the very moment that this new variant is approaching the United States, to lay off public health professionals, to compromise the safety of our hospitals right now, at this moment, it`s…

Yes, it`s pretty incredible, I mean, the lack of concern for life by Republicans, given their cavalier attitude about the 700,000 Americans who have died, given their complete uncaring attitude about the 100 people every single day who die…

Rules reform at some point has to be on the table to disempower this radical minority.

our collective heart as a nation is breaking for your State. At Oxford High School today, reports suggest that a 15-year-old turned a semiautomatic weapon on his classmates. Three are dead. Eight are injured. Our hearts are breaking a…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Peters.) Without objection, it is so ordered. Gun Violence

The gun lobby relies on the Republican Party, Republicans rely on the gun lobby.

Do not lecture us about the sanctity, the importance of life when 100 people every single day are losing their lives to guns.

This only happens in the United States of America. There’s no other nation in the high-income world in which kids worry about being shot when they go to school. It happens here in America because we choose to let it happen.

We have a Republican Party... that is engaged in the celebration and fetishization of violence.

It's time that we refuse to accept it. It's time that we do something about it.

It certainly appears that Republicans give up on kids once they're born.

Republicans say that when it comes to vaccines, every individual should have control over their own body, the government has no business to tell you what to do. But when it comes to abortion, no individual should have a say over what…

The changes we're talking about in order to make our schools safe places, they're supported by the vast majority of Americans, Republicans and Democrats.

I agree the primary and proximate cause is the unconscionable immoral leadership of the Maduro regime, but our sanctions can be contributory.

I think it is safe to say that President Trump's policy towards Venezuela was a failure.

There was no plan B, so we were stuck for the next 3 years.

I will admit that I have some level of confusion when I listen to my Republican colleagues come to the floor and register their complaints when matched against the actual policy positions that my Republican colleagues hold. And I want to…

You seem to suggest we would not have done anything differently, in retrospect.

What does strategic patience look like, moving forward?

Your primary criticism comes in year 19 so I am asking whether there was a flaw in design for years 1 through 18.

I`m thrilled for the families. I was in touch with one of the lead plaintiffs, Erica Lafferty, whose mother was of the principal, the heroic principal at Sandy Hook Elementary, his evening. And I`m glad that Alex Jones and his movement is…

We need to start thinking of our legal system as a way to provide some check, some ability to control the worst most disgusting most abusive of these lies and conspiracies.
