I rise to speak about a matter of extraordinary importance to the future of American democracy and, in fact, democracies all over the world. At the Helsinki summit on Monday, President Trump embarrassed our country, undermined American…

at the Helsinki summit yesterday, President Trump embarrassed our country, undermined American values, and openly sided with Russia's authoritarian leader Vladimir Putin against the U.S. intelligence community's unanimous assessment that…

today I rise to oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. This is an issue I will return to in the coming weeks and months at greater length, but I did want to say a few words about why I am in opposition to Mr…

So, I think what you are seeing both in New York City with Alexandria, in Maryland with Ben, are strong candidates running grassroots campaigns on a progressive agenda, and I think when you have that combination, you're going to see more…

I think it would be a very important factor in bringing people out to the polls. I'm very strongly pro-choice.

I would say to Mitch McConnell -- remember what you said when Obama was president. Let the American people have a vote in November as to whether or not they want to overturn Roe versus Wade, whether they want to allow discrimination…

I have no hope that he will appoint anything resembling a moderate or a justice who will take both sides and to consider it -- the consideration. I think what we're looking for is the nomination of a right-wing extremist.

The overwhelming majority of the American people support Roe versus Wade. We have differences of opinion on abortion, but the idea of overturning Roe versus Wade would be a decision that reflects only a small minority of the American…

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

let me thank Senator Merkley and others for organizing this important discussion--a discussion designed to reclaim American values. I also want to take this opportunity not just to thank Senator Merkley but to thank millions of people from…

He created the crisis. He could end the crisis.

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.

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.

before I go to the substance of my remarks, let me just say what I think is on the minds of millions of Americans today, whether they are progressives or conservatives, Democrats or Republicans or Independents. The United States of America…

Thank you. Madam President, I raise a point of order that the pending measure violates section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71, the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the…

let me take this opportunity to thank my colleagues on the Armed Services Committee for their hard work in presenting this bill, but I am going to cast a very strong ``no'' vote on this legislation. This morning I want to say a few words…

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

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?

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

I would guess that thousands of people die each year.

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?

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.

I oppose the confirmation of Kenneth Marcus to be Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the Department of Education. Mr. Marcus has a long record of targeting First Amendment- protected speech and scholarship of people with whom he…

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?
