[Neal said Trump is] cowering before China while he punishes our closest allies with unfair tariffs that are raising prices and fracturing our partnerships.

“

[To Overton:] Why didn't you correct the president at that moment so that the correct science was understood by American parents?

“

When they target people on their way to work, when they target people leaving kids at daycare, when they target people that are helping our society, it's a big, big mistake. That's where they overreach.

“

This administration insists on pursuing mass arrests and dragnet operations that are not targeted towards individuals who are a threat to public safety, but are instead designed to intimidate our friends and our neighbors. … Every time the public responds negatively to his illegal or unwise actions, he turns around and launches a wave of mass deportations.

“

This is not the way the system should work. It reminds us yet again that America's immigration law and the agency primarily charged with enforcing it must be overhauled.

“

We certainly should not be letting tech billionaires like Nvidia's Jensen Huang negotiate away our export controls or decide our AI policy to benefit his own personal bottom line. Mr. Huang should be nowhere near the negotiating table during President Xi's visit.

“

ICE needs to provide information immediately. Who have they arrested and why? Our administration will continue to provide support to the community and families, but ICE needs to answer for their actions.

“

The Chinese military continues its pressure campaign against our vital democratic partner Taiwan as President Trump has retreated from longstanding security commitments. … As Americans face rising prices for gas, food, housing, and more, President Trump is rolling out the red carpet for President Xi and hosting closed-door dinners so his billionaire friends can strike deals that threaten American jobs and national security. … He must stand with Taiwan and not let China veto American support for Taiwan's defense. … We can't let President Xi leave stronger than when he arrived. That is not diplomacy, it's weakness. [Joint statement by Sens. Coons, Schumer, Murray, Reed, Shaheen, Warner, Warren and Andy Kim.]

“

Republicans have already created the worst healthcare crisis ever, but every decision by the Trump Administration is designed to keep making it worse. As if making coverage harder to access through skyrocketing premiums and more red tape wasn't painful enough, they're doubling down to take it away entirely.

“

[In a letter to President Trump urging him to use Xi Jinping's state visit to secure the release of wrongfully detained people, including American citizen Min Zin:] Even a single mention of a detainee's name by a senior U.S. official, let alone by yourself, can significantly increase that individual's chances of clemency or improved treatment.

“

The wrongful detainment of innocent civilians is never justifiable and should always be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

“

The United States must not send thousands of conventional weapons to Saudi Arabia or allow it to develop a nuclear program. I am deeply concerned by the Kingdom's human rights abuses, the security of the region as the war in Iran rages on, and the proxy war that is escalating between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen.

“

Further escalation in the Saudi-Iran proxy war will worsen an already dire humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen and risks setting off a nuclear arms race between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

“

You will pay more for your mortgage and your credit card bills because of Donald Trump.

“

Donald Trump is driving up costs so much that even his sock puppet at the Fed might raise interest rates. If Trump ended his war in Iran and reversed his chaotic tariffs, inflation wouldn't be as high as it is today, and the Fed might actually be talking about bringing down rates. I want to see lower interest rates for families. I want to see them pay less for their mortgage or their credit card bills. But Donald Trump is standing in the way.

“

If Congress is not equipped, then throw the bums out and bring in some new people who are.

“

Let's make sure that we do not pass a crypto bill that will let Donald Trump continue to rake in billions.

“

This industry is in a race to replace us. Our work, our livelihoods. … Humans are not means to artificial ends. We are ends in ourselves. … The future we all want is a future built by human hands, shaped by human engagement, answerable to human beings.

“

[The ethics provision blessed by President Trump is a] weak fig leaf that will do nothing to stop him from making his next $1.4 billion in crypto profits. … [The bill ensures] the law could never be enforced against Donald Trump because it gives his political appointees the power to turn off enforcement of these ethics provisions.

“

House Democrats are rock solid in our support for Ukraine, but the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia And Iran Act would do more harm than good. … [It would] dramatically expand presidential tariff authorities while failing to mandate sanctions on Russia. … [These flaws would] raise Americans’ prices while undermining support for Ukraine in the long term.

“

Trump hiked costs with a reckless war and tariffs. Then, he promised multiple 'stimulus' checks with the money he stole from Americans.

“

From the beaches of Cape Cod to the peaks of the Berkshire mountains, Massachusetts' diverse landscapes support thousands of unique plant and animal species that are essential to the health of our environment.

“

What a horrific thing for our commander in chief to say about people who sacrificed their lives for our country.

“

This is a change from House GOP leadership's previously announced schedule.

“

Trump's desperate strong-arming of anyone who refuses to conform to his racist agenda reeks of weakness in the worst way, with those with the least paying the price. He is once again weaponizing the government to punch down and attack minority students, their families, and the schools expanding opportunities to build more financially stable futures.

“

This isn't about 'fairness,' it's about the President targeting anyone who stands in the way of his campaign to roll back the clock on civil rights progress that generations of Americans have fought and bled for. To punish private institutions for seeking to diversify their campuses is an affront to true, meaningful equal opportunity.

“

This proposed constitutional amendment would permanently fix the number of Supreme Court justices at nine, stripping Congress of yet another constitutional authority that is meant to be controlled by the American people's representatives.

“

I really wasn’t interested and paying attention. To be honest with you, I didn’t even get the courtesy of even a heads up that she was going to vote [for] the rule. ... I want people to have each other’s back in the Democratic Caucus.

“

Instead of speaking about affordability this week, we had to speak about socialism because the rule brought up all these guttural bills, so yeah, I’m a little pissed.

“

The Trump Administration's latest attack on access to gender-affirming care for young people unlawfully undermines states' authority to regulate healthcare and tries to strip healthcare access from vulnerable kids. Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in Massachusetts, and we will not allow the federal government to dictate what care our patients receive.
