The biggest problem of all is that the counties and the states that Michael talked about and that Steve talked about are older, getting older and whiter. And they’re terrified of the future.

The future, first of all, belongs to the blue areas, at least right now. Young people overwhelmingly vote Democratic, not because they love the Democrats, but because that horrible, pessimistic, furious vision of the Republicans is just…

The country is really at an inflection point, a point. And the fury and anger between the red and the blue is explainable by how terrified the right-wing is and the conservatives are of the future.

Just 4 months ago, I rose to remember a Montgomery County favorite, Denise Burstein, and today, with a heavy heart, I remember her husband, my friend and community leader, Frank Burstein. Frank passed away last Saturday. Montgomery County…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In title LI of division E, after section 5105, insert the following: SEC. 5106. PROTECTIONS FOR…

I thank the gentleman for wanting to work with me on this. Certainly this is a serious problem, and it is a serious problem for my constituent, and I am sure constituents in any other district in our country. But there is a misstatement in…

Of course there is a clear nexus to our veterans and our servicemembers, and it would be marvelous if all private student loan lenders would voluntarily discharge in the case of permanent or total disability. It just simply isn't the case…

Unfortunately, the most effective way is when somebody in their family dies of COVID.

Well, it`s incredibly dangerous. And it`s cost a lot of people their lives.

But there`s tremendous, tremendous pressure among Republicans to be anti-vax, to be anti-science. And if it costs lives, and people ought to find a different political party, because I think the Republican Party is morally bankrupt right…

FOX News is killing people. And they can be sued for that.

You can`t let the fact that you`re angry, cost you your life.

It`s a lie. It affects an enormous number of people.

People are angry. And they`re angry because their station in life is tough, and the rural America is falling apart.

They don`t deserve to be in office, because they`re not leaders. They are sycophants.

And it started with Trump, who capitalized on people`s fears and ignorance. And then it`s been continued by people like DeSantis and Greg Abbott.

I would call that leadership. If you make a mistake, you take it back, and you admit that you have made a mistake.

These politicians are using this to advantage themselves, at the expense of the people who voted for them.

we can’t impose democracy on others. They have to want it.

I think they made a big gamble on politics. They thought they could rally the anti-vaxxers and their -- and that was their constituency.

I give Biden a lot of credit for getting us out.

I give Biden an enormous amount of credit for stopping the war. And I think, six or eight months from now, he is going to be seen as the guy who got us out of 20 years of war.

A lot of the people who are against vaccination, I think, are not particularly anti-science. I think they`re just angry people. Most of them voted for Trump.

the way we have gone about it is completely crazy.

Mike DeWine deserves mentioned as the very conservative Republican governor who did the right thing right from the beginning.
