Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Republicans are trying to take health care away from almost 14 million Americans in the dead of night. I reminded them to their faces just how many of their constituents they're screwing over so billionaires can get trillions in tax cuts.

I am certain that we will not hear about deficits and debt ever again from Republicans who are about to vote for a bill that adds more debt to a country’s balance sheet than any piece of legislation in the history of the human race.

Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

The story of how much cancer research is being intentionally dismantled is hugely undercovered. Thi matters to so many people but we are failing to tell the story clearly. So great to see this.

VAN HOLLEN: Like the McCarthy era witchhunts of the 1950s, your campaign of fear & repression is eating away at foundational values of our democracy.

RFK’s view is pretty obviously that Americans are too “soft” and need to endure pointless suffering to toughen us up. In reality, being sick just weakens people, if temporarily.

“Trump has begun to realize he has overplayed his hand.” I’ll never get over this persistent, irresistible, and insatiable compulsion that people have to attribute rationality to Donald Trump, despite everything that he has done over so many years to demonstrate he lacks it.

I successfully pushed the Biden administration to clamp down on how data brokers use your private data. Now it's the latest casualty in the Trump administration's efforts to help companies turn a profit at the expense of consumers.
