The American people understood that this is not a health care bill, Anderson. This was a $300 billion tax break for the top 2 percent, massive tax breaks for the drug companies and for the insurance companies, and threw 24 million people…

Well, I think the evidence suggests that that is not the case. But on the other hand, what is fair to acknowledge is deductibles in many cases are too high. Premiums are too high. And while Obamacare has slowed down the rate of health care…

Our job is to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels, not increase dependence on oil, coal, and other carbon pollution sources.

The goal of real healthcare reform must be high-quality, universal coverage in a cost-effective way.

I hope he will tell us tonight he's not going to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.

I have very serious concerns about the direction of a Trump administration that wants to throw people off of health insurance, do away with pre-existing conditions, ignores climate change, hasn't said a word about the fact that college is…

Well, all you have to say is this is reprehensible behavior, that in America we will not tolerate racism of any kind, we will not tolerate Islamophobia, we will not tolerate anti-Semitism.

The idea is the right thing to do. The question is, how you pay for it? You don't pay for it, I think Trump is talking about, by giving huge tax breaks and tax credits to Wall Street and billionaires.

I have believed forever we need comprehensive immigration reform. I believe we need a path towards citizenship.

Yes, this is a man who has been attacking Muslims. He's been attacking Latinos. He has been attacking the media. He has been attacking judges who ruled against him, and now, he has concluded that the time for trivial fights is behind us.

I had very serious concerns about the nomination of Attorney General Scott Pruitt for Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, and opposed his nomination. His record on the environment is abysmal. My office received a…

I think when he comes forward with priorities that says we're going to make apparently massive cuts that impact our children, impact the elderly, impact the sick, impact the poor and we're going to significantly increase the military…

What matters to me is that the American people have got to learn the truth. And that means an independent investigation.

Did the Trump campaign collude with the Russian government in order for Mr. Trump to be the next president of the United States? That is an issue that has to be investigated.

No, of course, I don't agree with him. Look, what we have happened is unprecedented in the history of our country. We have a major government, the Russian government led by Mr. Putin actively interfering in our elections, determining and…

We remain today, and let's not forget it, the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all people.

I wouldn't say I am more optimistic or less optimistic. I am stunned every day.

No, I don't think our job is to work with them to repeal the legislation. What our job is to work with them to improve the legislation.

I think it's time to take a reassessment of the purpose of where the Democratic Party is and where it wants to go.

Almost 3 years ago, Congress passed a bipartisan farm bill that made a significant contribution to deficit reduction.

as the ranking member of the Budget Committee, I rise in strong opposition to the nomination of Congressman Mick Mulvaney to be the next Director of the Office of Management and Budget, or OMB. Like many of President Trump's other…

I rise in strong opposition to the nomination of Congressman Tom Price to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. My opposition to Mr. Price has less to do with his well-known, extreme, rightwing economic views than it has to…

I had the opportunity to be in Flint, Michigan, a year or so ago, and what I saw there made me disbelieve that I was living in the United States of America.

I think it is appropriate that in a Nation which is spending $650 billion on the military, yes, that over a 10-year period we can invest $1 trillion in rebuilding our infrastructure.

I would hope very much that on this issue there could be a coming together to address what almost everybody understands is a national crisis.
