You can have differences of opinion, for instance, about how to deal with climate change. But how do you have a debate with someone who doesn’t believe that climate change is real and manmade.

We may have different stories, but we hold common hopes. We may not look the same, but we all want to move towards a better future.

We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We got better stuff to do. I have got better stuff to do. We have got big problems to solve. And I`m confident we can solve, but we`re going to have to focus on them, not on this. We`re not…

The embargo is outdated and should be lifted.

I don’t believe that anybody is above the law. On the other hand, I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards.

What is true -- and I'm actually being serious here -- is, is that there are -- there's footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are.

If we don`t stop these kinds of efforts now. What we are going to see is more and more contested elections, contested not in the sense of healthy competition but contested in terms of who wins who loses. We are going to see a further…

The guardrails I thought were in place around many of our democratic institutions really depend on the two parties agreeing to those ground rules, those guardrails, and that one of them right now doesn’t seem as committed.

Protecting voting rights to avoid further delegitimizing democracy.

And rather than supporting the Secretary of State of Georgia or the, you know, Commission in, you know, Arizona, that had done the counting and performed their duties properly, et cetera. What you saw was Republican elected officials all…

I’m here because of Natoma. I’m here because of the countless others who have been forced to face the most terrifying challenges in their lives with the added burden of medical bills they can’t pay.

In the aftermath of an insurrection with our democracy on the line, and many of the same Republican senators going along with the notion that somehow there were irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election…

Republicans in the Senate are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the For the People Act from even being debated. In the aftermath of an insurrection, with our democracy on the line and many of the same Republican senators going…

Right now, at least, Republicans in the Senate are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the 'For the People Act' from even being debated.

The violence that occurred in the U.S. Capitol on January 6, just a few months ago, should remind us that we can't take our democracy for granted.

Republicans in the Senate are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the For the People Act from even being debated. Think about this. In the aftermath of an insurrection, with our democracy on the line, and many of these same…

We didn’t run in that campaign last year, in 2008, to occupy this office. We ran to do something with it.

We do not fix our health care system, America may go the way of GM, paying more, getting less and going broke. Today, after almost a century of trying, health insurance reform becomes law in the United States of America.

The ruling reaffirms what we have long known to be true. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay. Now we need to build on the Affordable Care Act and continue to strengthen and expand it.

The path towards an undemocratic America is not going to happen in just one bang. It happens in a series of steps.
