The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

I believe that there are well-reasoned and measured steps that we can take, such as passing Representative Brad Schneider's Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act that would focus the Federal Government's resources on the continuing threats to…

We got the largest number, most bipartisan presidential impeachment in American history.

The president, again, was advised the Capitol was under attack, his own vice president, and they were pleading for help and he basically said, well, Kevin, obviously, they care about the election more than you do.

It was obviously an acknowledgement from the Republican leader in the Senate that the House managers had done their job, that we had met the burden of proof that was required, that we had established the former president's guilt of a…

A substantial majority of members of the United States Senate found the former president of the United States guilty of inciting a violent insurrection against the government of the United States, 56-43.

In those critical moments, we see President Trump engaging in a dereliction of his duty by further inciting the mob in real time to target the vice president with knowledge that the insurrection was ongoing.

Senators, simply put, this mob was trying to overthrow our government and they came perilously close to reaching the first three people in line to the presidency.

On January 6, the only person he condemned was his own Vice President Mike Pence, who was hiding in this building with his family in fear for his life.

Simply put, this mob was trying to overthrow our government and they came perilously close to reaching the first three people in line to the presidency.

It is clear even if you're not a lawyer that the First Amendment is totally irrelevant as a defense since -- as a defense to the question of whether somebody can be impeached for things they say and do as a public official.

Even if President Trump claims he didn’t know the extent of the violence that would follow his speech, it was now happening in plain view. He doesn’t send help. Doesn’t try to stop it. Doesn’t even acknowledge the attack.

These attackers stood right where you are. They went on that rostrum. They rifled but through your desks and they desecrated this place and literally the president sat delighted, doing nothing to help us, calling one of you to pressure you…

Although I expect the Biden Administration to lead a shift back towards protecting students, we need to legislate permanent protections for those borrowers.

So, I am particularly concerned about the use of forced arbitration agreements in private student loan contracts.

I want to remind our Witnesses they have an obligation to provide truthful testimony today

The widespread use of forced arbitration is serious threat to our entire legal system.

I applaud Congressman Johnson for his leadership on this legislation.

I have been a proud sponsor of the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act, also known as the FAIR Act.

It is not fair, and it is not right.

Consumers, workers, and small-business people shouldn't need a law degree to be able to go about their daily lives without giving up their constitutional rights.

Forced arbitration is an underhanded maneuver that corporations use to trick consumers, workers, and small businesses out of their right to go to court and seek damages from a jury of their peers when they get injured or cheated.

A congressional correction is urgently in order.

The President of the United States, literally incited an armed attack on the Capitol while seeking to retain power by subverting an election he lost, and then celebrated the attack.

Again, I just want to say in closing, Mr. Speaker, that this is an opportunity to respond to the economic crisis that has been created by the COVID pandemic. Give people the skills that they need to become more successful and to earn…
