Disasters occur when Administrations mislead Congress and the American people.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Congress abdicated its responsibility.

That is the precedent that they are using.

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.

there are parts of the VA MISSION Act that I strongly support. The expansion of the Caregivers program to veterans of all generations will help support family members who have made enormous sacrifices for their loved ones wounded in war…

The American people believe, whether you're Republicans, Democrats, Independent, that it should be our voters, the people of this country who determine the outcome of elections, not Russians, not people from any other country.

Let the investigation play out. I've been asked a million times, do I think Trump should be impeached blah, blah, blah? I don't right now.

I don't mean to be hyper political here, but one of the tragedies of the Trump administration is that fewer and fewer people believe anything that he says.

The obstacle there is, in fact, the organization that Mr. North represents, the NRA.

Right now in this country, we have 300 million guns floating around, including an estimated 5 million semiautomatic weapons.

this morning we will be voting on a budget resolution written by my Republican colleague Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky. This is a budget that would lead to devastating cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and education, while…

My fear is that we are going to see a drip-by-drip depletion of funds for the VA and the services they provide.

Every single day, the VA is doing phenomenal work all over this country.

I experienced what can and will never be duplicated in the private sector, and that is the communal aspect of VAs.

Bernie, do everything you can to prevent the privatization of the VA.

I think this ban is reprehensible for both moral and national security reasons, and I am extremely disappointed to see you support it.
