While we as Democrats continue to try to make life better for every day Americans, lower costs, create safer communities, better paying jobs -- Donald Trump and the extreme Republican Party that associates with him continues to bend a knee…
Without question and the continuing story as it relates to people who associate themselves with Donald J. Trump is that it never ends well. And that ultimately you are going to find yourself in some entanglement with law enforcement…
It`s another extraordinary development. It should shock the conscience, but it`s not surprising when you put it in the context of the manner in which Donald Trump has conducted himself since the moment he burst on to the national scene, at…
This election is not a referendum, it’s a choice. And the choice is Democrats who are delivering, putting people over politics, and extreme Republicans.
The Inflation Reduction Act is going to make a deep -- big difference in the lives of everyday Americans, the first meaningful action to confront the climate crisis.
That is a victory for America. But a victory, of course, led by President Biden and our intelligence community.
Without question. We clearly did need to go into Afghanistan to be able to route the Taliban and push out al Qaeda and ultimately strike out and identify and find bin Laden.
It`s an incredibly important development, and as you indicated, very personal for those of us here in New York City who, you know, witnessed and experienced the horrors of 9/11, none more than the families who suffered as a direct result…
I think, you know, the president will continue to make it clear that the United States is the leader of the free world, will hold those who seek to suppress freedom and impose repression accountable.
But there was a promise that was made shortly after September 11th that whoever was involved would be hunted down and found whenever and wherever possible, and 20-plus years later, that promise that was made back then continues to be kept.
I would expect the committee would just continue to follow the facts, apply the law, be guided by the Constitution, uncover the truth, present it to the American people, in a compelling way that they’ve been doing so far.
Well, someone is not telling the truth here, and I found, generally, that inspector generals have conducted themselves with integrity, and with thoroughness. I also have great respect for the Secret Service, as an agency. But something was…
It’s very disturbing set of developments that we need to figure out whether this was just basic incompetence, within and of itself, as you pointed out, Lawrence, it’s stunning. Given the magnitude of events that occurred on January 6th, or…
We are in the midst of an extreme right-wing assault by an illegitimate Supreme Court majority on women's rights, reproductive rights, marital rights, family planning rights, civil rights, voting rights, labor rights, and the right to…
To the extent that there is a public policy problem in Washington, DC, Exhibit A was the GOP tax scam.
That is a record in American Presidential history for a similar period of time.
I am thankful that we have a president who leaned in to lifting up the economy for everyday Americans beginning with the American Rescue Plan.
The American Rescue Plan was absolutely necessary and decisive in trying to put us into a better space both on the economic side and as it relates to the public health crisis.
The American Rescue Plan was able to head off a wave of evictions as well as a foreclosure crisis.
Eighty-three percent of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1 percent saddling our country with approximately $2 trillion worth of unnecessary debt.
I may disagree with Representative Cuellar as it relates to reproductive freedom.
