Every government has a right and a responsibility to protect its citizens, and Israel has a right to defend itself.

Vermonters deserve to know that when they are looking at a campaign ad, that it’s actually the person it claims to be, and that’s why we need stronger AI regulation now, not later.

I want my colleagues to think about the totality of this man's life and what he has done in service not just to Illinois but to the people of this country. I urge my colleagues to keep this in mind. This is not a game. It is a man's life…

It's astounding. We have never had a Speaker of the House give up all of his power and authority — and by extension, all of our authority — by disbanding the House.

Our Nation is in crisis. We are in a very dark place. Americans are scared, and they want to see a way forward. We all need to start with ourselves. This morning, I sat, and I lit a candle. I thought about the anguish and suffering of…

This is a cruel bill. Thousands of Americans will die because of it. Rural hospitals will close. Millions will lose their healthcare. Kids will go hungry. Americans will be poorer. They will be sicker because my Republican colleagues are…

I was a history teacher, and I know that we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don't want anyone to say that we didn't know what was happening. Trump adviser Stephen Miller and perhaps the most joyless man in America…

[Y]ou can show all the ‘fact’ sheets you want, but this is about practical implications. If you changed your name, you will not be able to vote unless you jump through excessive hoops that require time, money, and travel if you live in a…

I am thinking of the small businesses in Vermont that have reached out to me to say that Trump's proposed tariff war with Canada is going to crush them. I am thinking about the 150,000 Vermonters who are dependent on Medicaid. I urge my…

Do not take your eye off the ball—and the ball is always the money.

It's about who's at the top who we can give more money to while the rest of us are scrapping around for every little bit that we can get.

Republicans are not thinking about regular people ever.

I think that the seniority issue in this building gets in the way.

I know Gerry will do a great job. But there’s no substitute for having someone in that position that literally has millions of Americans following her [on social media].

What Americans need to be demanding of us--I don't care what party you are--what they should be demanding of all of us are real answers to these problems.

We can go back decades. This is a can that has been kicked over and over again.

It is about basic humanity, people being able to live their lives and work in peace.

We have to pass the Equality Act to explicitly protect LGBTQ people against discrimination.

We have to pass the Equality Act to explicitly protect LGBTQ people against discrimination.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace, and these Title VII protections help us ensure that they are protected.

My community, the LGBTQ community, is constantly under attack in this Congress.

I just think it is shocking that somebody on this Committee would not only attack juries, but we are the Judiciary Committee after all.

It's absurd that we sit here.

Vermonters know climate change is real, and we are feeling it in all our downtowns because the water runs downward.

It's absurd that we're even having this conversation.
