When we impeached this president, we warned that he was a dictator in waiting.
I believe now what I believed then: this president is a threat to our democracy, our families, and to us.

- Some of my colleagues are throwing tantrums because they have to go through metal detectors. Do they know that countless children have to do the same thing to go to school?
- We cannot let the same people who inspired Wednesday’s attack tell us to “move on.”
- Republicans are now saying "we can't have a 4-4 court on election day." But that's exactly what they did when Merrick Garland was nominated. Any reporter who takes this bad-faith argument seriously should be rightly shamed.
- It’s interesting to watch my GOP colleagues who refused to wear a mask or practice social distancing, and who attended “super spreader” events, jump in line to get vaccinated. Shameless.
- If you have to cheat to win, you shouldn’t be the president.
- If you’re angry about a speech being torn in half and not angry about families being torn in half...
- All that these cabinet resignations say to me is that they don’t have the guts to hold President Trump accountable through the 25th amendment.
- Who else agrees that additional direct pandemic payments to Americans would be the smart move?
- The same baby formula producer that had contaminated product and led to this shortage used billions of dollars to buy back stock instead of investing in their product safety. Putting profits before the safety of our children is unacceptable.
- The second article of impeachment was for obstruction of Congress: covering up witnesses and documents from the American people. This morning the President not only confessed to it, he bragged about it: "Honestly, we have all the material. They don't have the material."
00:00 - Voting by mail is safe, secure, and good for our democracy. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
- America is on fire right now, and the president of the United States is walking around with gasoline. We need healing. We need empathy. We need justice.
