We are long past the point when this should be done, and it should not be linked to any ongoing negotiations on trade or any other subject.

The Uyghur Act would require President Trump to impose the Global Magnitsky sanctions against all Chinese officials who are responsible for the suppression of the Uyghurs.

It is the Republicans who steadfastly have refused even to entertain being engaged in the drafting of this resolution. So, yes, if you want to call it partisan, you own it. It is your partisanship, not ours. This is a restatement of United…

If the goal is to keep kids from vaping, how does that data support a hypothetical plan that allows flavors in vape shops but bans them in gas stations and convenience stores?

So I can't envision any way to exempt vape shops from a flavor ban in light of those previous answers.

I think, as was previously mentioned by Ms. Goss Graves, there is a really fundamental issue for Planned Parenthood, which is that the new rule would force us to lie to patients and intentionally exclude information that could be important…

I think we need to be honest here. Everything designed to make your very difficult decision, personal decision--not a state decision, Ms. Box--was designed to take away your choice.

But to deny them access to it because you have decided on the morality of it or you have made up science to justify your own personal belief is to impose your will on the majority of Americans, including women who are affected by this…

I have yet to see an oral surgeon be brought in front of Congress to talk about the risks of wisdom teeth, but having an abortion is safer than having your wisdom teeth removed.

The changes in Title X are designed, again, to take away or limit choices.

Everything designed to make your very difficult decision, personal decision--not a state decision, Ms. Box--was designed to take away your choice.

And that oath isn't to the president of the United States. It's to the Constitution of the United States.

Remember that as the secretary of state, you are charged with helping to develop and execute American foreign policy.

I don't think so. We have -- we have the president's own words in the transcript of the phone conversation of July 25th with the new president of Ukraine.

You know, I think the revision by Ambassador Sondland is very significant. First of all, it dawned on him that he could find that his testimony previously could be construed as lying to Congress under oath, which is a crime.

There is--I agree--a difference between a treaty and not having a treaty. But there's also a matter of national honor and the word of a great country.

I feel bad for your career because that is no way to end an honorable career--defending the indefensible.

The abandonment of the Kurds is one of the most shameful things I have seen in over 40 years of association with American foreign policy.

So is it your contention that where we have troops in other hot spots--for example, troops in Korea--South Korea--the President ought to be prepared to withdraw those in the event Kim Jong-un threatens an invasion of the south?

So your contention, given your portfolio, is that the Turks were prepared to cross the border and engage in combat even if it required going through U.S. troops?

Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool, is not art. It is a national embarrassment and it is a disgrace.

They are crying out for our help, sir. They are crying out and I respectfully ask you that the administration take a much more public stand on human rights in Haiti.

If you want to bring back ridership and rebuild confidence, I have got to know that I am dealing with a friendly work force that cares about me as a passenger.

That suggests to me a system that is woefully inadequate, in terms of self-policing, and what goes wrong with that is loss of confidence.

I thank the gentleman, and I have got to say, maybe that is a catchy phrase. It is reminiscent of Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon days, where the local grocery was called Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery. I don't think we want to settle for…
