The notion of at least sitting down to talk about health care, making sure that $6 billion that is set aside for SNAP benefits gets paid out so people don't go hungry and we get the government reopened again.
If you want to put Americans in harm's way, it needs to be done on a bipartisan basis.
The meeting is, let's sit down and resolve it. I can't believe Donald Trump, the great dealmaker of dealmakers, who – at least how he presents himself – sitting down with us, we couldn't reach an agreement in an hour.
Get the darn thing open. Deal with the health care cliff. Don't let people go hungry, when we've got money set aside on SNAP.
We need to say – listen, President Trump has ended up – and I'm a big supporter of Ukraine – has met more with Volodymyr Zelenskyy this year than he's met with any Democrat.
I hope it ends it this week. Frankly, I see it from my folks. I was greeting voters yesterday.
Get the money out to people in need, sit down with us, get this resolved this week, and let's get everybody back to work.
Shutting Democrats out of a briefing on U.S. military strikes and withholding the legal justification for those strikes from half the Senate is indefensible and dangerous.
This partisan stunt is a slap in the face to Congress’ war powers responsibilities and to the men and women who serve this country.
This approach risks creating turf battles and undermining the effectiveness of our Intelligence Community.
That’s not what ODNI was created for, and it puts it in direct tension with the agencies it’s supposed to support.
the comments attributed to Jay Jones are appalling, unacceptable, and inconsistent with the person I’ve known.
I’ve been very amazed at the comments I’ve got from federal workers who are saying they’ve been terrorized enough, they want us to push back.
The safeguards we put in place, the oversight this body provides, only work if intelligence officers know that they can tell the truth without losing their jobs.
These are critical posts in one of our most important intelligence organizations, vacated not because of misconduct or failure, but because of the whims of a political provocateur whose public record is filled with hate and conspiracies.
If analysts believe their careers will be destroyed for offering inconvenient assessments, then we will only get the intelligence the White House wants.
For months now, we’ve watched President Trump’s administration, led in this arena by his hand-picked Director of National Intelligence, Ms. Gabbard, systematically undermine the men and women whose only mission is to keep this country safe.
If we let politics dictate what intelligence is acceptable, we are effectively flying blind.
No, I think that the BLS has been the gold standard for years, viewed not only in this country, but around the world.
