the Senate version of the bill needs a lot of work.

the president was surprised to learn about the policy that would likely lead to lower payments to rural hospitals.

I don’t want us fighting a war. I don’t want another Mideast war.

There's very little danger of Mr. Trump leading the U.S. into war.

The courts have been really clear on this.

This is a major departure from the House framework. This took me totally by surprise.

For decades, working Americans have seen their wages flatline. One major culprit of this is the failure of the federal minimum wage to keep up with the economic reality facing hardworking Americans every day. This bipartisan legislation…

This is a whole new system that is going to defund rural hospitals effectively in order to what, pay for solar panels in China?

It’s one thing to support our ally, which we’re doing, and we should do, unequivocally.

This is a populist position.

The truth is — people can’t afford to have a family.

If we’re going to be a working people's party, we have to do something for working people.

We should not be touching Medicare.

For the better part of 50 years, working wages have been flat in real terms. Working people cannot afford to marry when they want to, have the number of children they want to or raise those children as they want to.

What a terrible idea. We should not be touching Medicare.

If rural hospitals close, what's the difference between that and a benefit cut? That's pretty tough.

a wing of the party wants Republicans to build our big, beautiful bill around slashing health insurance for the working poor. But that argument is both morally wrong and politically suicidal.

I just want to make sure that there are no Medicaid benefit cuts.
