I feel the obligation Mr. Speaker to stand on this House floor and take my sweet time to tell the stories of the American people. And that’s exactly what I intend to do. Take my sweet time, on the behalf of the American people. And that’s…

Not a single thing in Donald Trump’s one big, ugly bill will meaningfully make life more affordable for everyday Americans, and that’s just one of several reasons why House Democrats are hell no on this legislation.

I’m here today to make it clear that I’m going to take my time and ensure that the American people fully understand how damaging this bill will be to their quality of life.

Sixty-nine percent of the net tax cuts would go to the richest fifth of Americans in 2026.

What is contemplated in this one big, ugly bill is wrong. It’s dangerous, and it’s cruel, and cruelty should not be either the objective or the outcome of legislation that we consider here in the United States House of Representatives.

As I take my seat, I just want to say to the American people that no matter what the outcome is on this singular day, we’re going to press on.

I feel an obligation, Mr. Speaker, to stand on this House floor and take my sweet time.

Today’s vote follows a historic speech from Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries warning of the bill’s devastating consequences for millions of Americans.

This reckless Republican budget is an immoral document, and that is why I stand here on the floor of the House of Representatives with my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus to stand up and push back against it with everything we…

Budgets are moral documents. And in our view, Mr. Speaker, budgets should be designed to lift people up. This reckless Republican budget that we are debating right now … tears people down …

Stop lying about Assemblyman Mamdani. He is neither a communist nor a lunatic. And New York City doesn't need to be saved by a wannabe King.

We were a hell no last week, a hell no this week, a hell no yesterday, a hell no today.

Republicans are trying to take a chain saw to Social Security, a chain saw to Medicare, a chain saw to Medicaid, a chain saw to the health care of the American people, a chain saw to nutritional assistance for hungry children, a chain saw…

Above all else, I’m just thankful for the spirit, the heart and soul of the American people who have risen up throughout this country to make it clear to all of us in this institution: Keep your hands off our Medicaid. Keep your hands off…

Get into good trouble, necessary trouble.

All Democrats will 'no' and they only need to flip four Republicans to prevent the bill from passing.

All procedural and legislative options are on the table to prevent passage of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.'

Globalizing the intifada, by way of example, is not an acceptable phrasing.

Any mayor, whether you’re a Democratic mayor, a Republican mayor, an independent mayor, has got to commit to the safety and well-being of all of the people of the city of New York.

Assemblyman Mamdani ran a strong campaign that relentlessly focused on the economy and bringing down the high cost of living in New York City.

Is it, in fact, the case that Iran’s nuclear program has been completely and totally obliterated? There apparently are reasons to believe that that was a blatant misrepresentation made by Donald Trump to the American people.

Is it in fact the case that Iran’s nuclear program has been completely and totally obliterated?

We expect them to explain...what are the Trump administration's plans to avoid another potentially disastrous war.

Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America.

If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it.
