I have been proposing amendments to prohibit, for example, people who rioted on January 6 and assaulted police officers from being eligible for the fund.

That is especially important now, as prices are rising too fast and President Trump is still demanding a big cut in interest rates.

Markets need confidence that monetary policy decisions are being made on the basis of economic evidence, not on the basis of political pressure or convenience.

This is a desperate attempt of the Trump administration to blame everybody else in the world and not accept any accountability.

I do think it is outrageous and unfair to try to punish an entire class of people for the evil acts of one person.

We should always review our vetting, but in this case, there's no evidence that there was something that escaped the vetting.

I think it's very possible there was a war crime committed.

They've never presented the public with the information they've got here

All the way, she’s taken on powerful corporate interests.

Trump should spend less time traveling around the world and more time negotiating an end to his shutdown.

The short answer is, we do want to pay all Federal employees because none of them should be punished, but we also don't want them to be fired and RIF'd during this period of time. You said, in the private sector, people don't like to fire…

Our belief is that no federal employee, no one should bear the burden or be punished for a shutdown they have nothing to do with.

Ron Johnson’s bill would essentially weaponize the government shutdown to allow President Trump to decide who works and gets paid and who doesn’t work and doesn’t get paid.

This is why we have primaries, so we can have a contest of different people’s views.

We should not be punishing federal employees for something they had nothing to do with. They’re not responsible. They’re innocent bystanders.

When Donald Trump shuts down the federal government, the Maryland and Virginia delegation come together and step up.

This amendment says that the Governor of one State may not deploy its National Guard to another State without the consent of the Governor of the recipient State. As the Republican Governor of Oklahoma Kevin Stitt said today, ``As a…

We don’t just need to fight. We need to fight for something.

This finger-in-the-wind stuff has got to end. We also need to stop deluding ourselves that the problem is all about messaging or about volume or style.

We’ve become a party that too often trims its sails. Too cautious, too rudderless. Too attached to poll-washed, pundit-rinsed and donor-dried messages.

That kind of spineless politics is what people are sick of. They need to get behind him and get behind him now.

We hope this report will draw greater attention to these facts both here and around the world, and we will do everything in our power to end America’s ongoing complicity in this humanitarian disaster.

People are starving, and anybody who tells you that people are not starving in Gaza is lying to you.

We need to surge humanitarian aid into Gaza.

I’m always in favor of talking, and we’d all like to see peace, but I’m very worried because, from day one, while Donald Trump said he was going to end the war in Ukraine, he has been played like a fiddle by Vladimir Putin.
