This is coming from Congress. This is the people's house, you know, saying that they believe that there has been some criminal behavior.

I mean, really pretty simple things. And they couldn`t get it done. And I think it`s going to hurt them morally because it is the moral thing to do.
It does seem that these two senators are determined to stand in the way of the changes to the filibuster that would be required to move voting rights through. I think it`s actually rather shameful, and I think it`s going to harm Democrats…
It`s a moral imperative, first of all, to ensure voting rights for all Americans. But it`s also a political imperative.
Well, I think the numbers prove that in a Washington Post, University of Maryland poll that was released just a couple of weeks ago showed that, in fact, fully a third of Americans believe that violence is a, you know, response that is…
I think Republicans are clearly going to use this 'education and parental involvement and what's taught in schools and what's in libraries' as a mechanism to draw their base voters out for this election.
we have to have an argument that realizes that there is a healthy balance of parents being involved in schools, but also that professionals are making determinations about what is or is not taught in the schools.
no doubt Republicans are actually really good at constructing a narrative that really draws people in, and this is one of those.
I look at the former President Trump as he`s now encouraging people to get vaccines and I wonder what would have made a difference?
we are in such a different place. Today, over 200 million Americans have gotten a vaccine.
I think it was quite a monumental task to get it through the House and negotiate it. And I also think there are a number of provisions that are in the House version that have already been kind of pre negotiated with the Senate.

I`m concerned about any senator, any Democratic senator who would put on the line to possibly tank the President`s agenda because that effectively takes Democrats out of the running for the majority in the House and in the Senate.
just as Republicans have fallen in line with the big lie about the 2020 election, undermining confidence in our democracy, and its constitutional norms, they are now prepared to set fire to the entire house by tanking our economy.
I am still frightened for the fragility of our democracy, because the reason that it held -- and we found this out -- was because of people’s goodwill.
Well, I think the tone that the President struck is the right one, we should be honoring, especially today, the service members who lost their lives, and of course, the Afghan and other civilians who were taken in this attack.
the President needs to -- he and the military, of course need to continue on as quick pace as I can to get Americans out our allies, our partners, our Afghan friends, NGO leaders.
And I think that the President today, as he has been, was very resolute about the decision to leave.
this proposal that before the Congress, both the reconciliation and the infrastructure package are the President's agenda.
Well, I mean, I do think that for -- we’ve known for more than a decade that it’s past -- it was past time to get out of Afghanistan, and the question was just always going to be how and I agree with the President that this was never going…
If you don’t think like that, and you think you have all the time in the world, we’re done.
