I deeply worry about it. I am alarmed because of the polarization, in fact, the weaponization of national security for political purposes by this White House.

It is a moment that really demands us to put country above personal interests and party. And I hope that we will hear the better angels of our nature and rise, hopefully, and meet that challenge.

My colleagues are now on record. And they will be haunted by history and perhaps by the voters because they're on record against witnesses and documents.

Seventy percent of the country believes that we should hear the evidence, that we should seek the truth. And investigate, continue to uncover this abuse of power corruptly by the president to serve his own personal interests.

I am continuing to be really awed by the sense of history and purpose here. And the real historic task we have ahead of us to uncover the truth, presented to the American people, the House managers are doing a very able job of making the…

The president needs Congress, more important, he needs the American people to support him.

We have an obligation to exercise oversight, checks and balances. It's our constitutional job. We need to do it.

The question of why now and what's next. There's no clear path here, no apparent strategy. The administration seems to be lurching from day to day.

What really alarms me is that this step clearly seems to be an escalation towards war. In fact, the administration seems to be stumbling into war head first without a strategy that has been defined or communicated to Congress or the public.

There is no question, Anderson, that Soleimani is responsible for sending to their grave countless Americans. He has American blood on his hands. He's an enmity. He has real enmity, had enmity toward the United States. But the question is…

Not the sham and charade that Mitch McConnell is apparently going to give the president.

There will be a Senate trial. It is required by the constitution. The issue of when the articles of impeachment will be sent to the Senate is a decision for Nancy Pelosi to make, and very understandably, she wants some assurance that it…

71 percent of the American people want documents and witnesses as they would in any trial. More than 60 percent of Republicans.

The witnesses that we have asked to testify have direct knowledge. They have the information and evidence that Republicans themselves have said they want to hear.

They need to step forward, and I hope that they'll be hearing from their constituents over these next couple weeks.

in the midst of all of the historic and profoundly significant events happening these days in Congress, there may be a temptation to overlook some of the judicial nominations that are coming to the floor of the Senate, some of them almost…

if the president wants to tell the American people about his innocence, he ought to come forward -- and talk to Congress about it, in public, under oath, rather than hiding behind a computer screen.

Combined with other circumstances, absolutely. If I were arguing in case to a jury, I would say that we had enough evidence even before this report to rest my case.

There is direct evidence as yet whether or not he ordered it. But there is circumstantial evidence in the timing of his release of the aid, not until September 11th, only because of protests... the president evidently did and that probably…

I think what they'll say is that all of these facts, whatever they are, in the legal history here don't constitute an impeachable offense. But clearly, there was bribery, which is specifically mentioned in the Constitution as an…

It's a lot bigger than two plus two equaling four. This really terrific report shows I think shows why the president was in effect objecting to the potential charges about him before those charges were made, that clip that you showed…

we ought to be aggrieved, we ought to be angry, and we ought to be furious--not just frustrated but furious-- at this sad, even pathetic, objection to moving forward with a bill that is supported by 95 percent of the American people. The…

I am proud to be here to advocate on behalf of a bill that has enjoyed, rightly, bipartisan support: the Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act. We all know that the astronomically rising costs of prescription drugs are a burden--in…

I truly regret the objection by my colleague. I regret even more the reasons for his objection, characterizing the threat of Russia interference as hysteria. Well, I suggest that my friend from Kentucky spend a little bit of time--it will…

I want to thank my colleague from Virginia for his advocacy on this critical measure, and I support him on it and also for his advocacy on the FIRE Act. It is very similar to the measure on which I am going to ask for unanimous consent. He…
