A quote from the Honorable Jamie Raskin, a Member of the Committee on the Judiciary from the State of Maryland
I denounce and I categorically reject these outrageous acts of vandalism, and graffiti, and break-ins against churches in my district.
I wanted my colleague to know, I know that my colleague from Louisiana, the erudite Mr. Johnson, would certainly know this, that five of the justices, the majority of the Court, five of the justices in the Roe v. Wade majority were…
It seems as if Trump imagined that she would have the power to seize election machinery in swing states and then initiate criminal prosecutions of people that they saw as getting in their way just to show you how extreme this was.
I have introduced legislation with a couple of colleagues, which I hope we will be hearing this week or next week, to allow for the free travel of American citizens among the states for the purposes of obtaining healthcare that is lawful…
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say that the decision about whether or not to have an abortion should be left to women and their families and their healthcare providers.
Some of the online rhetoric turned openly homicidal and white nationalist, such as, 'Why don`t we just kill them? Every last Democrat down to the last man, woman, and child?'
Three rings of interwoven attack were now operating towards January 6. On the inside ring, Trump continued trying to work to overturn the election by getting Mike Pence to abandon his oath of office as vice president and assert the…
62 percent of Americans say that they support a nationwide law protecting a woman's right to choose consistent with Roe v. Wade.

This is not the problem of one party. It is the problem of the whole country now. American democracy, Mr. Chairman, is a precious inheritance, something rare in the history of the world, and even on Earth today.
Donald Trump`s 1:42am tweet electrified and galvanized his supporters especially the dangerous extremists in the Oath Keepers, the proud boys and other racist and white nationalist groups.
We need to defend both our democracy and our freedom with everything we have and declare that this American carnage is here and now in a world of resurgent authoritarianism and racism and antisemitism.
Certain accounts of this meeting indicate that President Trump actually granted Ms. Powell security clearance and appointed her to a somewhat ill-defined position of special counsel.
The president issued a 4:17 tweet, I believe, that included a video, telling people to go home.
The Supreme Court has targeted the constitutional right to privacy, more than a half century of precedent.
American carnage, it turned out to be an excellent prophecy of what his rage would come to visit on our people.
We want a nationwide law which codifies Roe v. Wade as a woman's right to choose because we believe this is fundamentally a question of personal freedom and autonomy.
On January 6th, Trump knew the crowd was angry. He knew the crowd was armed. He sent them to the Capitol anyway.
I fear for the world that they will inherit if we do not start holding these people to account.
In fact, to try to stop the counting of electoral college votes in a presidential election he had lost. Absolutely unprecedented, nothing like that had ever happened before.
Well, President Trump is still promoting the Big Lie about the election. How does it make you feel?
Despite these grave concerns, Trump remained on the platform completely unchecked.
