Well, we need to end the Trump-Republican shutdown, the longest shutdown, of course, in American history.

And as Democrats, we've repeatedly maintained that we will sit down anytime, anyplace, with anyone in order to reopen the government, to find a bipartisan path forward to enacting a spending agreement that actually meets the needs of the American people, which means trying to drive down the high cost of living, because America, under Donald Trump and Republican policies, has become far too expensive.

while at the same time dealing with the Republican health care crisis that threatens to drive up premiums, copays and deductibles to levels that will be unaffordable for working class Americans because of the Republican refusal to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Well, the so-called White House press secretary is an unhinged disgrace.

If she's opening her mouth, it means that she's lying.

And clearly, we've seen that in this context.

The protests that are going to take place today, the peaceful expression of dissent, is entirely consistent with the American way.

In fact, it's as American as motherhood, baseball, and apple pie.

It's what the framers of this Constitution envision.

He's doing a good.

Here, play this clip.

It's a matter of deep concern.

Like we've already seen a rise in political violence and hatred in America.

And then you've got swastikas apparently appearing in the offices of Republican members of Congress.

You've got young Republicans engaging in the most anti-Semitic and racist speech possible.

Like this is apparently who many of these people are.
