I think McConnell is going to play a trick and allow different amendments to come up. And we are working very, very hard right now.

I find it ironic of that Mueller was appointed head of the FBI by George W. Bush, reappointed by Obama, has always had in this investigation strong bipartisan for what let the man do his job.

I think what Speaker Ryan has got to do is allow democracy to prevail in the House. And the majority of the people in that body want to pass DREAMers legislation, they should be allowed to have the vote and it is really wrong of Ryan to…

I think the idea of spending billions of dollars on a wall is totally crazy.

I think we have a moral crisis in this country right now that has to be dealt with. Eighty percent of the American people in poll after poll say that we cannot turn our backs on these young people and leave them subject to deportation.

the possibility of deportation. And this would be a moral outrage.

I'm going to be voting against this legislation for two reasons. The first is that when we are now spending more money on the military than the next 12 nations combined and when study after study shows that there has been enormous amount…

it is no secret that our country faces a major healthcare crisis and, in fact, a dysfunctional healthcare system. We have some 30 million people who have no health insurance, and that number is going to go up in the coming year. We have…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Community Health Centers

The bottom line is you have a failing healthcare system and everybody who has spent 5 minutes thinking about it, understands it.

I believe that it is an international embarrassment that the United States of America remains the only major country on Earth not to guarantee healthcare to all people as a right.

I would hope that becomes an indication to other businesses that when we talk about a Medicare for all system, we are not just talking about the needs of ordinary Americans and consumers.

They could add the other $19 million to the cost of their F-35s, can't they, pretty easily?

What you will find is they are all different prices. The same drug, the VA pays X dollars for it, Medicaid pays Y dollars for it.

This budget would make it much, much worse.

What are we doing to deal with these outrageous cost overruns?

I think there is widespread agreement that there is something wrong when the Pentagon is the only Federal agency in the country that has not been able to pass an independent audit 28 years after Congress required it to do so.

In the world that we lived in, it would be the contractor would have to pick up--'Sorry you screwed up, guys. You have to eat it.'

The results are in, and the nonpartisan experts at CBO tell us that not only will the Trump tax plan not pay for itself, it will add nearly $1.9 trillion to the Federal deficit over the next 11 years.

the answer is not to cut benefits, but at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, to ask the people on top to start paying their fair share of taxes

if you lift the cap on income of $250,000 or more, which is just the very highest income earners in this country, Social Security will be solvent for the next 60 years.

President Trump's budget would slash Medicaid by over $1.3 trillion, cut Medicare by over $500 billion, and reduce Social Security by nearly $25 billion.

So what I would say--and, Dr. Hall, while we are at it, talk a little bit about income and wealth inequality.

What are we going to do after giving CEOs of these defense companies huge salaries, tell them that they cannot continue to rip off the American people?
