They are simply trying to dismantle the government.

They are the majority, and if they cannot govern, that's for the American people to see.

If we have to take steps to be able to hold them accountable, use the levers that we have to force it.

This is about whether or not they can get the votes. They are the majority, and if they cannot govern that, then you know that’s for the American people to see.

Trump’s actions are weakening American global leadership and influence at a time when we face serious national security threats.

Trump is opening the door to our competitors and adversaries.

We need to secure our border and create an orderly process but should do so while governing with the values that have made the United States a beacon of hope across the world.

Instilling fear in immigration communities is not the path to fixing America’s broken immigration system.

It is not a time for finger-pointing anywhere, but himself. And over the course of the next couple hours, I'm sure he's going to have to confront whether or not he's going to resign or face impeachment. I'd be very surprised if he survives…

Well, it's incredibly concerning. I mean, my -- as you mentioned, I'm the son of Korean immigrants. My parents were born at the end of the Korean War, never would I have imagined that over 70 years after that, that we would see this type…

The bipartisan bill that passed out of committee includes some incredible support for our servicemembers and their families. The bill includes a 19.5 percent pay raise for junior enlisted servicemembers and a 4.5 percent pay raise for all…

From my understanding, IFS was added due to their egregious abuse of the Uyghur Muslims through genomics.

I will just say here, as I am running low, is just let's make sure we are getting to follow-on conversations about some of these other countries that we should be engaged.

We want the strongest possible military to defend our Nation and we should work together to foster a culture that encourages and rewards excellence, creativity, innovation, and critical thinking.

I absolutely agree. Look, our military is facing its greatest recruiting shortfall since the inception of our All-Volunteer Force over 50 years ago.

I value the importance of public service, be it in Active Duty or through civil service.

Everyone should have the ability to work in safe conditions, receive competitive pay and benefits, and at the end of the day, be able to put food on the table. America's hardworking families keep our country running, but right now a lot of…

Holding up military promotions is not the right way to make a political point.

We want the strongest possible military to defend our Nation.

Prematurely lifting these standards would risk compromising our national security.

I think about this brief that was put forward to the Supreme Court that was written by former military officials that said: ``The importance of maintaining a diverse, highly qualified officer corps has been beyond legitimate dispute for…

I want to respond to what was just said. It is absolutely important that we set straight that diversity does not mean we are talking about people who are less qualified. We are not talking about reducing standards. We are talking about…

I believe you can tell a lot about the values of a nation based on how they treat and care for those who step up and are entrusted with defending the nation. If we are honest with ourselves, we don't always keep our promises, and we don't…

I think this is a really important issue about just, you know, where can we have precision? Where can we have the scalpel? Where can we use that?

One thing I would just kind of push back a little bit on this, I mean, look, we have struggled, you know, 20 years ago to address Sudan and the genocide in Darfur.
