The President's primary responsibility is the health, safety and well-being of the American people. But since day one, his response to COVID-19 has been pitiful.

I'm Not Sure I Want The Job As Much As The Job May Want Me

I think what we need to do is to get serious about addressing the social ills that cause decay in communities in the first place.

There are a lot of questions around that firing, as we have seen multiple times, with this President, as he deals with anyone, who tries to hold him, and his enablers, accountable.

Everyone wants to live in safer communities and to support law enforcement and the tough job they do every day. But this can't go on. The senseless deaths of America's sons and daughters, particularly African-American men, is a stain on…

I assume you're talking about the man whose book is entitled 'The Room Where It Happened.' That's quite interesting because the National Security Adviser sat there in the room, and allowed the President to break the law and obstruct…

Well what I would say is this is a critical issue. And I thank God for the Black Lives Matter Movement and the young people who are out there protesting.

If we look at what is going on, in our country, right now, you know, I've - I have worked - I mean, number one, I grew up the daughter of a maid and a janitor in the South. I know what discrimination feels like. I know what racism feels…

I do think we need to take a serious look at reminders of the darkest days in our history that are proudly displayed in government buildings.

As law enforcement officers, they are held to a higher standard.

47,000 Transportation Security officers just heard the comments of my colleague, Mrs. Lesko, and many of them we will see today as we cast our votes and fly home to our districts. I am sure many people on this House floor will say, ``Thank…

Do you believe that the President's obsession with his campaign promise to build a wall jeopardizes critical programs to DHS?

Our first concern should not be praising the administration during a crisis, but making sure that the men and women that we represent are safe and secure.

But I am completely disappointed at some of the conversation I am hearing today, because it is so laced with politics.

True leaders don't need to be praised every day. They don't need Members of Congress to, every time they open their mouths, say what a great job the administration is doing.

I believe that Senator Romney's vote sends a clear message to not just the American people, but his fellow senators as well.

The best indicator of future performance is to look at past performance. I call Donald Trump a habitual offender.

A police recruit -- if a police recruit, a young police officer, new on the department, had done what the president did, he or she would have been fired.

I have heard that more today, and I am glad to hear it because it lets me know that perhaps we can work together on some of those issues.

A nightclub in Orlando.

The president abused the powers entrusted in him by the American people in a scheme to suppress evidence, escape accountability, and orchestrate a massive cover up.

The only reason, the only logical reason, and we deal in what's reasonable, President Trump withheld the aid. It was to undermine these threats to his political future.

Withholding nearly $400 million of vital military assistance to Ukraine in exchange for the investigations.

But let us be very clear. These types of conditions which are often included in appropriation bills are designed to promote official U.S. policy, not the policy of one individual or one president.

We live in the greatest democracy in the world, and I am convinced that the overwhelming majority of Americans are good, decent people who work hard and play by the rules. But then, we have people who have no respect for the law, people…
