We don't believe in one authoritarian government, run by one person, Trump or anybody else, we don't. We believe in the rule of law.

The debate of today is not about healthcare. It's not about climate change, it is not about education. It is, in fact, whether the Republican Party believes in democracy, or whether they're going to continue to believe in the big lie.

The $15.00 minimum wage was included in the House Bill. We are going to make our case and this is enormously complicated... But we are going to make our case to the parliamentarian that we absolutely believe that raising the minimum wage…

We have to focus on climate change, on criminal justice and racial injustice, on immigration reform. We have enormous crises facing this country and we have got to go forward aggressively in standing up for the working families of this…

I think when you have for the first time in 200 years an attempt to overthrow the government of the United States, you want to know as much as you can about who was behind it and what happened then and the role of the President of the…

I do not think anybody on your side denies that our infrastructure is crumbling.

Ms. Tanden, will you at this point commit to doing what President Biden and I and many others want to see happen, and that is, help us move to end starvation wages in America by raising the minimum wage over a period of several years?

I think most of us understand that it is important we debate the issues and try to minimize the level of personal and vicious attacks.

The next OMB Director will play a major role in determining whether those policy proposals succeed or whether they fail.

I would like to see transparency, competition, engaging the health care consumer, things that would fix it.

I look forward to having an excellent relationship, a cordial relationship with the Ranking Member, Lindsey Graham.

We remain the only major country on Earth not to guarantee health care to all of our people

We pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

I happen to believe that big money interests have an undue influence over the economic and political life of our country.

The people on the top economically are doing phenomenally well, while so many tens of millions of Americans are struggling

We are living through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and the worst public health crisis in more than 100 years

President Biden promised to raise the minimum wage over a period of several years to at least $15 an hour.

We have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on Earth

I am going to work with him to make sure that we implement those promises.

At a time when climate change poses an existential threat to the entire planet, I urge a ``no'' vote. Vote on Amendment No. 770

There are no tax increases on small business in this. We support the Rubio amendment.

If Republicans want to come along with that, great, but either way, we are moving forward.
