And it is also our view, your view, my view, that resolving that through diplomatic means is better than going to war with Iran, right?

The Biden administration has also indicated that it would oppose unilateral steps by either party that undermines the prospects of a two-state solution, and we need to hold everybody accountable there.

I want to associate myself with the remarks from my fellow Maryland senator, Senator Cardin, about the importance of your commitment to greater diversity in the Foreign Service and the State Department.

If we were to go to war with Iran, our troops in Iraq would be put in grave danger, would they not?

So can you commit to working with us to work with Turkey to stop trying to, essentially, kill and destroy our Syrian Kurdish allies who have been such key partners in that fight against ISIS?

President Biden has made clear that he supports what had been for a long time a bipartisan objective of U.S. foreign policy, which is a secure State of Israel and a viable Palestinian state--a two-state solution.

In the interests of preserving our democracy, I think that they need to look into charges of sedition.

The 25th Amendment would be the fastest and most likely successful route to actually removing the president.

He remains an active threat to our democracy.

There has to be active and urgent reaction here.

I don't see him changing his political DNA, which has been obstructionism up and down the board.

This is essentially providing impunity to corporations. That's the bottom line. And Americans shouldn't have to sell out their rights in order to get their help.

I do not accept McConnell's blackmail. What he's saying here is that in order for us to provide direct funding to state and local governments, people have to give up their rights to go to court if they've been badly wrong.

In what universe is it headline news that the head of the Republican Party in the Senate has acknowledged a political reality and the election results.

Loss of the Affordable Care Act, loss of women's rights, loss of workers' rights.

And before we discuss all the details of procedural options if we're not successful, we talk to the American people about what the consequences of this court-packing scheme will be.

Ari, I have always said I'm open, even before this seat opened, to consider important structural changes in the United States Senate.

And the Affordable Care Act and health care (AUDIO GAP) front and center in that debate.

If the Republicans blow this up, if they engage in the kind of total dishonesty which they are apparently prepared to do, then all bets are off.

People didn't think we would succeed at stopping them from blowing up the Affordable Care Act, right?

Well, I think he's been very clear that, if they move forward on this, that all options are on the table.

And it's very important that this fight is seen in that context.

My response is that we will use every tool at our disposal to block this abuse of power.

Illusion is the right word. This was a big show at Trump's golf course. He put all the flags up in the background. But the reality was it was show and not substance.

We should not be pitting one American against the other.
