Reopening without a clear nationwide plan to stop this virus will only lead to more infections, more deaths, and more economic harm.

The harms of this unemployment crisis have not been evenly distributed. The poorest Americans, Black Americans, and other people of color are facing the gravest impacts.

Without a comprehensive plan to combat the ongoing public health crisis, we will never have a solution to the unemployment crisis.

All we can hear now is $600 will be a disincentive for people to work. That's an insult. People want to work.

It's clear that we need to do something for working men and women.

I am failing to understand why it is we cannot get the data, why it is that they have stopped putting out the data.

The PPP will continue to be an important resource moving forward.

This jobs crisis has not hurt all Americans equally.

This job crisis will be with us for many months.

This President is taking this country to a place that none of us ever thought we would see, and I would hope the Republican Party will wake up.

When I call for this country to use the CARES Act to restructure things in the vision of this great country, with liberty and justice for all, it's there in our Pledge of Allegiance, I was mocked on the floor of the United States Senate by…

Law and order is not a police force dominating a group of people. Law and order is a police force treating everybody equally under the law.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We are losing that.

Yes, I do believe that, and one of the reasons we study history is hopefully to understand what to do and what not to do going forward.

I don't believe that anybody realized at the time that the country was being pushed over the cliff. And I'll tell you, what I feel today is that the future of this country is really at stake.

We need you, our public health officials to step up and say that is not true. That is hurting us.

We need leadership but we need people to be very much aware of the dangers that are out there.
