I can’t recall ever receiving this many calls. People disgusted with what’s going on, and they want us to fight back.

You can't let Donald Trump and Elon Musk basically rob us of our democracy and disrespect the Constitution.

The overwhelming majority of the American people disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling the economy.

We should be talking about expanding health care benefits, improving our health care system in this country.

People will protect our democracy.

Then we have a full-blown constitutional crisis and I think it requires some dramatic action in response.

We have to fight Trump on the cuts and on the terrible priorities that he was kind of putting forward.

As we speak, the overwhelming majority of the American people disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling the economy.

We are fighting like hell.

We shouldn't be talking about how we how we can contract it, how we take benefits away from people.

It means an awful lot for Massachusetts and our economy.

We’re not going to keep on bailing him out. We’re not a cheap date.

We’re not going to keep on bailing him out.

I personally believe should be up to Members as part of the legislative process on a case-by-case basis.

I think it would encourage more bipartisanship.

I want to publicly thank you for that.

This has to be a place where a variety of ideas get to be brought to the floor and debated.

If Democrats have the honor of returning to the majority, we will see to it that the House of Representatives is a place where we can debate ideas professionally.

Good ideas can come from anywhere.

I would argue that changes to the reforms adopted in this Congress' rules package would make it even harder to develop a consensus among Republicans in the new Congress.
