If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!

I’m overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes

We need to be the party of order and logic … I refuse to weaponize the SNAP benefit for 42 million Americans.

When you’re confronting mass chaos, I don’t think you should respond with more chaos or fight with more chaos.

If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!

I don't know what your road for recovery is, but I promise if you stay in the game, you will get better, and I'm being here right now is a testament to that.

That's the message that I'd have to people in the throes of this now is … whoever [is] in your life, they need you, they need you.

For me, depression is the ultimate lie that you begin to tell yourself, that perhaps the best solution is to take yourself out.

It's entirely appropriate to have a conversation with yourself and people around you, of a stroke that quite literally almost took my life, now, should I remain in that?

I know it's not a political winner to talk about depression or self-harm or suicide, but that's an important conversation I'm willing to have.

Voting for someone does not mean that you agree with them on all of those things.

I refuse to call people, like whether it's President Trump or other people, as they're Nazis or that they're fascists, or that we're trying to destroy our country.

I vote a 91% Democratic line, and if Democrats have a problem with somebody that votes 91% of the same times as you are, more than nine out of 10 times, then maybe our party has a bigger problem.

It’s only wrong to shut our government down, and I’m relieved … the people now that are going to get paid and fed.

My party crossed a line.

I want to be a voice saying, 'hey, look, that's a lie. I don't know what your recovery looks like, but as long as you stay in it, I promise you you will get better.'

It's not a weakness.

I suffered from depression and I made a recovery and I won an election.

What exactly am I guilty of?

It's always been wrong for us to shut the government down.

We can’t even get our sh*t together and just open up our government.

It’s an absolute failure what occurred here for the last month.

That’s absolutely not true.

Some people think now we have to double down on those things or we must become more progressive or more extreme.

I happen to know and love a lot of people that voted for the president and they are not fascist, they are not Nazis, they’re not trying to destroy the Constitution and all those things.
