Brutalizing American communities. And now, as we've seen, killing American citizens. This is out of control. And the American people aren't going to stand for it. So certainly we need massive reform to the way in which ICE and the Department of Homeland Security are currently conducting themselves. The American people are going to demand it. And Democrats are going to press for it.

and get a vote. And who knows, maybe he'd get the votes. Why is he not doing that and what can be done to press him to do that? Well, we decisively, as you pointed out, passed a three year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits to ensure that tens of millions of everyday Americans, middle class Americans and working class Americans don't experience dramatically increased health insurance premiums that would in some instances bankrupt them or certainly prevent them from being able to go see a doctor when they need one.

All 213 House Democrats were joined by 17 Republicans, because the American people are with us on this issue. We know over in the Senate that a majority of senators, 47 Democrats and 4 Republicans, support extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years in a clean extension. And so the obstacle right now is that John Thune and conservative Republicans, the MAGA extremists,

He just want to rip healthcare away from the American people. There's no other explanation. This is the same group of folks that in the one big ugly bill enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. They also ripped food from the mouths of hungry children, seniors and veterans.

The bill is passed, and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.

I think it's a really bad policy, and, you know, I wish they hadn't, but everybody had to vote to conscience.

House Democrats, every single one of us, joined by 17 Republicans, have partnered in a bipartisan way to protect the health care system.

And we know that that legislation has a majority of support in the United States Senate right now.

Every single Senate Democrat and at least four Senate Republicans.

John Thune needs to bring democracy.

the bill up for a vote immediately.

Donald Trump may have...

Pardon your crimes, but only God can pardon your sin.

James Comer is a joke, an embarrassment, an unserious individual, and a malignant clown.

Actually, the Democrats in recent polls are actually faring worse than the Republicans.

Take a look at a Quinnipiac poll out just this week.

It shows that Democrats have their lowest approval rating in the poll's 15-year history.

Only 18% give Democrats a high approval rating in the handling of the economy.
