I fully admit the left is wrong frequently. I think we ought to factually check that. Here, we are saying don't factually check that. While we are on the subject of facts, COVID played a little bit of a role in our recruitment problem. I…
I think the most crucial point here is that the United States of America is the most economically powerful country in the history of the world. That has been the case since the end of World War II. A large part of that is because of our…
Current law bans sterilization, so that is just a lot of crap about what this is about. Current law bans what she is talking about. What is being banned here is any treatment for gender dysphoria, and that is completely wrong.
Again, Mr. Chair, we are not talking about sex-change operations. This is just another example of the profound ignorance surrounding treatment for gender dysphoria. We are talking about any treatment.
Mr. Chair, do they sometimes make mistakes? I always like to say, I have had three hip surgeries including two total hip replacements. I probably didn't need any of them. It was probably a mistake. I don't see anybody on the floor talking…
I supported blocking the sale of some weapons now to Israel to compel the country to enact a ceasefire.
I don't think it's particularly bad that they have the conversation. What's bad, to date, is that President Trump has not shown, I think, the unity behind Ukraine to really put pressure on Putin.
If Democrats take back the House, we will exercise aggressive oversight to stop him from taking over the military and using it for domestic enforcement.
The mayor of New York, no matter who he is, is not going to be the leader of our party.
Mamdani isn’t speaking for our party, any more than I’m speaking for our party. It’s a big tent. It’s a big coalition.
Look, the mayor of New York has never, never, ever been the leader of the Democratic Party.
I’m deeply worried that [Colby] buys into the authoritarian worldview that you know, Putin’s a dictator, and Xi is a dictator, and Trump aspires to be a dictator, so let’s just let all the dictators get together and divide up the world.
We are not at any lower point, stockpile-wise, than we’ve been in the three and a half years of the Ukraine conflict.
It was disingenuous of the Pentagon to use military readiness to justify halting aid.
This isn’t Israel’s fault that Donald Trump decided to bomb [Iran] . . . He’s the president of the United States, he doesn’t have to do what Israel wants.
The whole idea — doing it on Trump's birthday ... we don't do this in America.
Speaking on behalf of the American people, I don't think the American people voted for President Trump because they were hoping we would invade Greenland.
The military is being required to spend resources and time on this, instead of training and preparing to meet the national security needs of the country.
There are no rules, there are no standards, there is no truth, there is no accountability. What Trump says is the truth.
You're discussing war plans over the signal app. I mean, that's just unimaginable.
