"We are not going to do what he wants, and that is universal, Rachel, in my caucus. We will not let Mitch McConnell dictate to us what we will do and not do, period."

"The history and precedent is clear, the Senate has the power to try former officials."

"Democrats may have a way to pass the COVID relief bill and also President Biden’s infrastructure bill, just with 50 votes."
