People who had thought they belonged to the red team or the blue team for some time … are looking at the landscape and wondering whether they have a team at all.

It is not right that Virginians are working harder and harder just to afford the rising cost of food, electricity, and health care.

It seems that the Administration is making such a significant investment in anti-corruption efforts as well as other things that make for a vibrant democracy, and I am grateful for that.

I think it`s been a disaster for Republicans. They`ve had months to put forward a proposal addressing inflation and costs. And instead, they`ve really been focused on conspiracy theories and chaos and, and culture war.

who`s moving us forward and who is presenting kind of a divisive chaos we can`t afford.

the country needs a plan on manufacturing. It needs to plan on affordability, on clean energy.

the good of American families, the good of country, was put ahead of the perfect bill, the perfect bill for progressives, the perfect bill for Joe Manchin.

What parents were clearly saying in this election was they want these schools open. They want to be listened to. Instead, Governor Youngkin has made moves that probably significantly increase the chance that schools will have to shut.

I think it is a warning in time for Democrats to avoid next year the losses that we had in 2010.

People don’t want bipartisanship to be defined by elite senators on the Republican and Democratic sides agreeing on a deal. They want a deal that actually puts both parties in check and returns power to the people.

Americans are so deeply cynical about Washington that the only way to build support from a broad bipartisan set of voters is to err on the side of the boldest possible reforms. Watering down reform does not strengthen support from…

At the end of the day, you’ve got to focus on what gets the job done and he has a chance to make that happen in a way that doesn’t just build back our economy better but builds back our democracy better.

That he is a lot less focused on the politics of re-election than our national resurrection to a more perfect union.

There are things more important, he told me, than getting re-elected.

We do not support incumbents amending constitutions to stay in power as doing so undermines democratic institutions.

There must be consequences when leaders deliberately exchange their country's stability for their own hold on power.

fair elections don't just happen on election day. It is about the environment that is created in the months and the year ahead of an election.

What is concerning to us... is this issue about closing political space.
