If we're going to be a majority party, we have to win in places where Democrats have to get some Republican votes.

Somebody got carried away at the White House and didn't realize that the margins were so slim and that you have to count every vote on every piece.

There have been a lot of conversions to Trump. Are they permanent? Is this the permanent Republican Party?

I think she's trying to do everything she can in a job that, just by its very nature, minimalizes you.

Now, watch Sean Hannity carefully because that will tell you where Trump is. And I think if Kevin McCarthy thinks cozying up to these guys is going to help him, I fear he might be mistaken.

But I do think what the Democratic Party should be doing is talking about things like inflation, and talking about job creation, and talk about the things that they did in the infrastructure bill.

Listen, here's what Kevin McCarthy had a front row seat for. He had a front row seat when the extreme element of their caucus ran John Boehner out of the speakership. He had a front row seat when that same element in their caucus ran Paul…

the vast majority of scientific evidence is, masks have saved millions of lives over the last two and a half years.

In the old days, judge decisions were not so narrow, especially for a trial judge. I mean a 49 to 41 vote is very unusual but once McConnell blew up the norms by refusing to hear the nominee of a duly elected president months before an…

elections really do matter. They matter in big ways, and small ways.

I guess time will tell if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, that will be a pivotal moment for us to test whether or not the women in America and people who believe that very dangerous and deadly back alley abortions are going to be…

Donald Trump did in fact encourage people to do this, and did egg them on, and did work with others to create this mob of insurrectionists on January 6th.

This is beyond dumb. And it is clear that they just thought they could get away with it and that the rules don`t apply to them.

And you know the name that will make me sad, Lawrence, in this political environment? It will make my heart hurt when Tim Scott votes no. It will make my heart hurt.

We are going to get a Supreme Court justice confirmed tomorrow by the 53 as you mentioned and it will be a great day. And hopefully, the new justice will set a great example for Clarence Thomas in terms of paying close attention to the…

Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from Supreme Court cases involving the 2020 election and the attack on the capital.

Yes. And it is as plain as the nose on his face that he should have recused himself under the law. The question is an enforcement mechanism. And the Supreme Court does not think they need a enforcement mechanism. Well, I disagree, clearly…

Now, John Roberts is having some sleepless nights. Their poll numbers are dipping. Americans faith in the court is slipping.

If they want to keep you from voting, doesn`t it make you want to vote? I mean, that is a powerful psychological tool. Everybody knows what the Republicans are doing.

If impartiality can be reasonably questioned a justice is supposed to recuse himself.

What`s really disgusting about where we are right now, Stephanie, is hundreds of people, rabid followers of Donald Trump, that were brought to Washington promised it was going to be wild, told to come and stop the steal. They have lawyers…

Merrick Garland is all we have to talk about. If you want to talk about the road to making Supreme Court nominees 100 percent political, that was Mitch McConnell, with the assistance of the Republican Caucus, that did that.

Because Cawthorn was saying it about his colleagues.

If somebody tells you can’t vote, guess what it makes you want to do? Go vote.

They want marginalized people, they want people who have -- are transient, who haven`t lived in the same place for a long time, they want students, they want black and brown people, they want to keep them from voting.
