It seems to me that there's a cloud of illegitimacy that continues to hang over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

You believe that accepting and welcoming that assistance from Russia, a hostile foreign power, is disqualifying.

The traditional poverty measures don't actually capture the distressed conditions that the American people are confronting.

It seems to me that tackling the issue of poverty should be something that we do in a bipartisan way.

Poverty is people's creation. It is their creation of immoral budgets and unjust policies.

And still places in the United States of America where someone can be denied a loan because of their gender identity or sexual orientation?

So that means that there are still places in the United States of America where someone can be fired because of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Many of my colleagues voted against equal pay for equal work, notwithstanding the fact that women are paid approximately 80 percent of what men are paid for doing the same job.

Can you give me a single example of the waste, fraud, and abuse that justifies cutting billions of dollars from children, low income seniors, and those receiving nursing home care?
