Not DeSantis, not this congressman, or anyone else who`s selling you a bill of goods that will lead ultimately to your bad health and possible death.

The governor of Florida just needs to stand down because he is not leading his state, he`s killing people in his state.

The stress test will only work to the extent that the affirming and confirming authorities, the Senate, actually steps in at the appropriate time and goes wait a minute, and time-out.

This person isn`t qualified for the job. This is pure hackery in terms of the political appointment that you are putting forward.

This is not just about the presidential election in `24. This is about complete control of government at the legislative as well as the executive level.

147 members of my party in the House voted to overturn a national election for the presidency of the United States.

The MAGA-loving, pro-police crowd is just more MAGA-loving than they are pro-police.

To acknowledge that proves his lie.

I have it here -- he said -- quote -- 'I stand by that exact statement as I said it,' which is reminiscent of one of the pieces of Internet culture where people say, I said what I said.

Who`s going to stop them? There has been the Republican Party has not paid the price for anything.

Do we really want Kevin McCarthy to be the Speaker of the House after what we`ve witnessed of his leadership, Oh, excuse me, of his actions because baby that ain`t leadership.

There’s no incentive for Republicans to give Joe Biden and his administration a win on anything.

It’s giving the voters the incentive to participate. And, you know, to say, look, OK, your first choice may not be everyone else’s first choice, but they could be their second choice.

This is a corrupt enterprise. I mean, it's just the way Trump did things, deliberately or not so deliberately.

I'm still not convinced that, with all of the hand-wringing about Weisselberg and his daughter-in-law, so on, prosecutors are talking to her, and she's out here, OK, laying out some tracks, I still don't know how much of this is really…

And Biden, you could tell in that moment, he was sitting there going, damn, I know. OK, yes, this is where I am. And Mitch means what he says. And there`s not much I can do about it until I get a political hammer.

And so, right now, the president of the United States needs a political hammer. And only the Democratic Party can provide that, not Democratic legislators in the Senate or the House, but the party, the political operators, that do that…

Oh, yes. We are a hell of a long way from Reagan`s declaration of the evil empire formerly known as the USSR, Soviet Union, Russia, and just calling out, you know, the balls and strikes in the relationship between the United States and…

The Republican Party, the party of Ronald Reagan, in a very real way, have become the party of Vladimir Putin.

Look, I`m doing nothing to James`s point. I mean this is absolutely playing soft politics. This is hardball. McConnell and the Republicans are playing this to the edge.

Just imagine, Brian, if the other guy in February, March, April, May of last year, had taken COVID, as seriously as Joe Biden had in his short time in office, what a difference a year would have made.

The United States is showing and asserting its leadership in this space, a lot -- not so much as, oh, follow us, as, no, we want to be the partner that helps all of us get better.

My dignity as an elected official is that thing that I need the people to rely on the most.

She has not bargained it away, and she has not given it away and that can’t be said of a lot of people.

Liz Cheney matters. When one or two start to stand up and push against that tide.
