The Department of Justice should be able to use Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to undermine or invalidate voting rights suppression laws that have a disparate impact on certain groups such as African-Americans, Latinos, immigrant…

There are only two options at this point. We could either allow the voter suppression epidemic that has been launched by Republicans in the aftermath of the violent insurrection and attack on the Capitol to spread like wildfire, or we…

As FAA implements the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act, I am concerned about how difficult it is going to be to get Boeing to improve its safety culture.

In the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection, instead of running toward democracy, there are people throughout this country, some, have run away from democracy and they've unleashed an epidemic of voter suppression across the land.

Despite the fact that there's no evidence of so-called fraud, this year at least 19 States have enacted 33 laws making it harder for everyday Americans to vote.

I suspect we`re going to get these two transformative pieces of legislation over the finish line. And then we`ll have to deal with the debt ceiling that now will expire on December 3rd in tandem and I expect that`s what we`re going to do.

We can`t really have a functional economy. We can`t really have a functional society that takes care of the needs, the hopes, the dreams, the aspirations of the American people if democracy breaks down.

Donald Trump`s behavior continues to make Richard Nixon look like a choir boy. And there is no bottom. There never will be. That is how corrupt this particular individual who used to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is and how much he has…

Well, Mitch McConnell has no shame. The reality is that the debt ceiling first and foremost is not a forward-looking vehicle where we are raising the debt ceiling, so we can acquire additional debt for things that we would work on into the…

I thank the distinguished chair for yielding and for his leadership in advancing this incredibly important issue. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but we cannot truly be a free country unless women have the…

This is a high-stakes situation, which is why we shouldn`t be infusing politics into the debt ceiling.

That`s what Mr. McConnell is saying. But I think that his friends on Wall Street and the wealthy and the well-off across the country do not want to see a default in the Stock Market and the economy crashing.

We don`t need Republican votes in the House. And we expect that they`re going to be irresponsible in the House, even though the Republicans in this chamber and the Republicans across the Capitol three times during the Trump administration…

I disagree with the extension of any policy related to the excuse that was put forward by President Trump, inspired by Stephen Miller designed to just keep people out of America.

The Border Patrol agents are totally out of control. And I think it`s the White House themselves acknowledge those images are horrific.

We have a broken immigration system. It needs to be fixed. The preference will be able to do in the bipartisan way but the Republicans have turned into a xenophobic party that continues to bend the knee to Donald Trump and his hate-filled…

It doesn`t matter that he sparked a violent insurrection and attack on the Capitol that was an extraordinary event in American history and is dangerous.

Kevin McCarthy is all about the acquisition of power. That`s it. There is no ideology. There is no policy concerns. There`s no effort to try to improve the lives of everyday Americans to work with us as Democrats to crush the virus or…

I think Paul Ryan is fundamentally a good man. I disagree with him on policy, and clearly he had some challenges with Trump, could have done much more to articulate that publicly.

And in the case of Mitch McConnell, that’s to jam right-wing Supreme Court justices down the throats of the American people to take us back to the dark ages.

Well, it’s extraordinary, but the challenge in dealing with Donald Trump is that not only is he a malignant narcissist, but he of course is a psychopath and a pathological liar at the same time.

But right now, you have a House Republican leader in Kevin McCarthy who is a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump.

In the case of Paul Ryan, that’s cutting taxes for the wealthy, the well off, and the well connected.

The challenge that the Republicans have had is that they accepted Donald Trump for who he was and continues to be in part because of the desire for the acquisition and maintenance of raw power to accomplish their own policy objectives.

We stand behind our legislation aggressively. And we`re going to continue to fight for working families, middle-class folks, those who aspire to be part of the middle class, and, certainly, the poor, the sick, the afflicted, the least, the…
