Yet the President has said that he cannot be prosecuted for criminal conduct, that he need not comply with congressional requests and subpoenas.

The President's obstruction of Congress is pervasive.

We are facing a categorical blockade by a President who's desperate to prevent any investigation into his wrongdoing.

we know now that the President abused his power by trying to get a foreign country to interfere in the 2020 election.

it is just, I think, appalling that the president of the United States and his enablers would totally try to impugn the good reputation of Ambassador Yovanovitch because they did not want her to be a part of their, basically, shady…

we are moving forward, and we will consider those who the president instructed not to appear, who chose to follow that unlawful order, as another article of impeachment.

Dr. King once said the true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience, but how he stands in times of challenge and controversy. Last Congress, I had the honor of serving with Chairman Cummings on the…

Republican President Teddy Roosevelt said that ``patriotism means to stand by the country.'' It does not mean to stand by the President at any cost. The whistleblower is a patriot who stood up for their country. It is time for Americans of…

It is a loser for this nation, and we are better than what we are doing at the border.

I retired from law enforcement 8 years ago, but I am still amazed by and grateful for the men and women who rush towards danger with little regard for their own safety. First responders already do so much, but when there is a true…

What sets us apart in this country is that we can enforce the laws and write the laws, but also protect an individual's civil rights.

I respect the jobs that you have to do. I understand how tough they are.

Violating civil rights or the perception of violating civil rights is an issue that we cannot ignore.

If they have information, I think I'd take it.

I wish my Republican colleagues were more concerned, or as concerned, about Russia attacking our democracy.

Today my community gathers in Orlando to remember 49 victims of gun violence. The Pulse shooting, 3 years ago today, was the worst terrorist attack in our Nation since 9/11. Recall for a moment that, even now, there is no Federal law to…

America has always been a work in progress, and, therefore, we always have the opportunity to make our democracy better, stronger, when we simply do the right thing. The Declaration of Independence may have said that ``all men are created…
