[Letter to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles from the top Democratic appropriators, demanding the ad be taken off the air immediately:] This is the sort of government propaganda one might expect in North Korea, not the United States of America.

“

This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

“

Does Trump understand no one wants his stupid arch? Dressing it up as a military necessity doesn't help. [Raskin said he was] sick of the military being used as an excuse for Trump's architectural whims and narcissistic fancies.

“

The president seems to have a real problem with the Constitution, whether it is the freedom of the press, whether it is voting rights, whether it is state rights. … The Founding Fathers of this country found it to be so important that they made things like the freedom of the press and free speech and freedom of assembly part of the First Amendment. The first thing they wanted to get done. … The president continues to use the Constitution like it is a suggestion box, simply because he does not like the coverage. … I would just hope that this administration would spend a little bit of time reading instead of just talking.

“

Trump is sending $2.8 billion of bombs paid for by you, the American taxpayer, to a govt led by a wanted war criminal. … [We will work to stop it.]

“

Today, we took a step to redeem our pledge to Ukraine to support their sovereignty and their democracy. No more standing by and rationalizing your behaviors, no more allowing Ukrainians to be killed every night.

“

Someone who’s in the process of doing that has no business being the secretary of Education. … So why is she secretary of Education? She should be removed.

“

Secretary McMahon is unlawfully trying to eliminate the Department of Education, and in doing so, she’s costing taxpayers untold amounts of money and other resources.

“

I am proud of the progress we made, and I am determined to keep fighting to regulate this technology, protect the millions of Americans who own crypto, and ensure that communities across Maryland can harness the benefits of digital assets safely.

“

If we do not pass this bill, there will be great joy in the Kremlin and great devastation in Kyiv.

“

Hardworking American taxpayers probably deserve a tax rebate. … American taxpayers deserve relief from taxation. I think that's a good idea.

“

From his days as a young curator at the National Air and Space and American History Museums through his tenure as the founding director of the African American History and Culture Museum and culminating in his distinguished service for the past seven years in the Smithsonian's top job, Secretary Bunch has pursued excellence in the telling of our nation's story. The Regents, and the Smithsonian, have benefited greatly from his wisdom, vision and leadership. We look forward to working with him in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition for his successor.

“

They're trying to steal the election. Every day — they don't have any plans to get healthcare to American people or to combat climate change. They've got plans to try to steal the election.

“

Everybody on our side understands that impeachment is a critical tool in the toolbox for constitutional self-defense.

“

It’s not a fetish with us. We understand it’s not a panacea. It is a tool in the toolbox.

“

But more important to us right now is getting healthcare to the American people and ending the lawlessness.

“

The Trump family has turned the entire executive branch into a money-making enterprise, so there’s more than enough corruption and lawlessness to keep Democrats across the House busy for years.

“

We will continue to work together across committees and use every investigative and legislative tool we have to uncover the facts.

“

No. No. It’s been stacked, and packed, and gerrymandered by Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans.

“

They want to sacralize and constitutionalize nine because Donald Trump likes the fact that they overturned abortion rights.

“

All of that is an irrelevant distraction.

“

Obviously, nobody supports Hamas, a terrorist organization which brutally attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

“

But people here also don’t support the policies of Bibi Netanyahu. But we’re not going to be able to work that out in the next 60 days.

“

The Republicans are obviously scrambling to catch up with their constituents for leaving them in the dust.

“

Trump's followers in Congress now seek to freeze into place the political court that MAGA built, for decades to come.

“

If the rule comes out without the CR in it, with a hemp amendment to undo what the Senate did, I’m voting against the rule.

“

Today's decision is no victory for the separation of powers.

“

The ballroom is a building or structure being erected on federal park grounds — President's Park — in the District of Columbia. Yet Congress has not passed any law resembling 'express authority' for the Executive's construction of it.

“

You attack and insult Black women because you believe peddling racism is good for your clicks and your business model. This is someone who is an advisor of Donald Trump and who should be condemned by all.

“

If you are going to attack brilliant, bold, beautiful Black women, know this: they are way out of your league. Respectfully, I suggest you sit this one out.
