Congress should recognize that it is as likely as not that these veterans were in fact exposed to Agent Orange.

You have a president who has given tax breaks to billionaires, who wants to cut programs that working people desperately need and he thinks as authoritarian types all over Europe believe, that if you foment anger against immigrants and…

The American people overwhelmingly, poll after poll after poll, want comprehensive immigration reform.

He created the crisis. He could end the crisis.

The idea of tearing little children from the arms of their parents, putting them into detention cages, and then making a big deal about an executive order which may do absolutely nothing for these 2,300 children is literally beyond belief.

The bottom line is you do not believe--tell me that you do not believe that we can import safe, lower cost prescription drugs from Canada.

During his campaign for president, President Trump... made a lot of statements to the American people which turned out to be lies.

Why would the people of Canada, who pay the second highest prices in the world for drugs, or the people of Europe, want to pay more?

Do you really think, as the President does, that raising prices on people abroad is going to help working people in this country afford the medicine they desperately need?

I would guess that thousands of people die each year.

About one out of five people in this country, unbelievably, cannot afford the medicine their doctors prescribe to them.

Congress abdicated its responsibility.

That is the precedent that they are using.

What does that mean, above and beyond wars, above and beyond abrogating the Constitution of the United States, what does it mean to our quality of life in this country?

We have become far too comfortable with the United States engaging in military interventions.

The Iraq war was a foreign policy blunder of enormous magnitude.

It is time for us to reassert that authority and to start asking some very tough questions about the wars.

Do I want my 16-year-old going to war against Al-Shabaab in Somalia?

Disasters occur when Administrations mislead Congress and the American people.

Johnson's Administration misled both Congress and the American people into a war.

The abdication of Congress to its responsibilities over war has had incredibly dire and horrific consequences for the people of our country and, in fact, the world.

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states very clearly, and I quote, 'Congress shall have the power to declare war.'

We need a progressive tax system in this country which is based on ability to pay.

We must make certain that every family in America has at least 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave.

No one who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.
