Trump can’t fire his way out of these stark facts: inflation is heating up, prices and unemployment are both rising, and job growth is weakening sharply, all thanks to Trump’s tariffs.

The bill before us takes food and drink from the mouths of the poor. It takes healthcare from the sick. A vote for this bill betrays these Gospel teachings, and in our hearts all of us know it.

From the Gospel of Matthew: ``For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came unto…

Isn’t this embarrassing?

[they made provisions like addressing taxes on tips and overtime pay temporary, as opposed to the cuts for the richest 1%, which they made permanent]

Keeping his tariffs in place will cost families up to $2,000, but imposing and lifting them over and over again also has a cost.

Last night Republicans suddenly discovered a major emergency: 'decorum.'

Everything Trump does on trade maximizes chaos and uncertainty.

I don’t want to legitimize what [Trump] has done.

To work with us to reassert Congress' role in setting strategic, stable trade policies and to invest in the American economy.

Republicans in Congress could stop this at any time by passing legislation I and others have offered to rein in Trump's abuses of tariff authorities.

And they will fail to achieve any of the pretextual objectives Trump has stated for imposing them.

The trade war Trump is igniting will weaken our economy and cause chaos in our marketplace as Americans pay the cost in the form of higher prices on everyday items.

The tariffs Trump just imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China will raise costs by up to $2,000 per year for an average American family.

Americans simply cannot afford to be caught in endless trade wars.

I will be happy to retract. I also notice that our anxiety about Social Security will not go away.

With respect to my friend from Arizona, that is not what I heard. We heard that this budget resolution, as put together, promises cuts that we are desperately afraid of. When we do the math, in Congressman Schweikert's district, Arizona 1…

To add to the distributional impacts, the top 5 percent pay 38 percent of the taxes, but they have more than 60 percent of the wealth. The bottom 10 percent pay very little but live hand-to-mouth, including more than 12 percent of our…

While we are doing math, when I divide $2 trillion in savings and cuts over 10 years, I get $200 billion a year. Madam Chair, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Clark), the whip of the House…

Mass firings of FAA workers—at a time when they already have serious staffing problems—would be dangerous at any time

What Trump and Musk have done is not only wrong, it’s illegal.

You tear down the federal government, you also tear down our whole society.

You can see what Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing. The hiring freeze, Schedule F, the mass firings...

Deferred resignation is designed to tempt you, but there are major reasons for concern.

I've never thought that his personal values matched the values of the American people.
