But your selfishness and your indifference have not killed our hope. You have transformed it.

Sean Patrick Maloney did not even give me a heads up before he went on Twitter to make that announcement. And I think that tells you everything you need to know about Sean Patrick Maloney.

I think that there is nothing wrong with speaking truth. Because the American people need to understand what is at stake in November.

When he talks about a major political party that is trying to undermine democracy itself, that party being the Republican Party, and describes that party are somehow being more in touch with the American people than Democrats, who are…

The fact that somebody has student that to begin with is a form of means testing. So, let`s leave it at that, and make it a universal program. We know that Republicans, independents, and Democrats support this policy. This is the right…

This is of existential importance. I mean, the question before us is whether we will continue to have a democracy moving forward.

That's why folks like myself have called for other courses of action, including adding seats to the Supreme Court to save our ailing democracy.

The far white majority that we have on the Supreme Court of the United States which is hostile to democracy itself has been busy over the last decades gutting key provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

Our democracy faces its greatest test since Jim Crow.

This is going to reduce the cost of health care, also the cost of child care. And, of course, it makes pre-K universal.

This is transformative, life-changing legislation. And we are creating millions of good-paying jobs every year for the next decade.

January 6 was an attempt to overthrow the federal government to stop the certification of that free and fair presidential election last November.

If we don’t have a democracy moving forward, then we cease to be the United States of America that the world and that we know ourselves as.

Expulsion has to be on the table. It is one of the most severe consequences, if not the most severe consequence that Congress can engage in.

When you see people opposing simply the ability of Medicare, the federal government, to negotiate down the price of prescription drugs, something that is supported overwhelmingly by both Democrats and Republicans, it’s clear then that…

The vast majority, nearly all of House Democrats are in support of this president’s broadly supported economic agenda.

This is what we can do under unified control of the federal government. And this is what Democrats, I would submit, will do in the coming days.

I’m going to vote for the people. And that’s what I want and would urge my colleagues to do who are trying to block, again, this president’s broadly popular economic agenda.

We’re talking about the expansion of Medicare. We’re talking about universal child care. We’re talking about climate action to prevent another Hurricane Ida from devastating communities throughout America.

It’s a shame that so much of this drama has been played out in the public square, so to speak. But I do believe, as with the American Rescue Plan, and as with other things, that we will rally around an agenda that allows us to meet this…

We need to keep the universal child care provisions that we passed out of the House Education and Labor Committee in the final reconciliation bill.

Ted Cruz is as cruel as they come. And he has constantly debased himself in this area of public service.

It remains to be seen whether just a couple of Democratic senators will rise to the occasion and help us overcome the filibuster to pass any number of pieces of legislation, including those economic in nature, to actually allow people to…

I think it is the latest example of how the 6-3 hyper partisan conservative majority on the Supreme Court is out of touch with the realities of working class people in this country.

I have to reform or abolish, which as you know is my preference, the filibuster, in order to save our ailing democracy.
