What we shouldn't be doing is borrowing money to give benefits to the most fortunate, to put the burden and pull the rug out of those who struggle the most.
We want our children to grow up in a safe community.
My position's always been we need to build on successes within ACA, fix the problems.
While I've been in Congress, I've never experienced a whiff of anti-Semitism. In my life, I have experienced very little.
There is only one person who represents all Americans. We need a president who speaks out and condemns racism and anti-Semitism. We need a president who recognizes everyone is equal. We are not perfect, but we all deserve respect.
Consider this for a moment: House Republicans would rather cut off a woman's access to birth control, cancer screenings, and other preventative care from Planned Parenthood than continue to fund and operate the federal government.
House Republicans continue to vote to repeal health care reform, not only removing guarantees that women aren't charged more than men for coverage, but also assuring the world knows they don't believe women should have control over their own health care decisions.
I'm proud to have earned a 100 percent score from Planned Parenthood and to have been previously endorsed by both Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro Choice.
I have - and always will - stand up against efforts to limit a woman's right to choose.
Much as I wish it were not so, we do live in a dangerous world. It has, in fact, always been this way. Our earliest ancestors had to worry about predators, natural disasters, disease, and - unique among our species - attacks by other people.
Security has to be, and has long been, our government's top priority. It is imperative that we continue to diligently watch for potential threats by all appropriate means.
We have to make sure we control who enters our country. And we have to sustain and increase our efforts to fight the terrorists at their source, both on the ground and in the battle for hearts and minds.
We cannot forget that we are a nation founded by refugees who were fleeing oppression and often fearful for their lives.
We need to rethink a system that has targeted young people, particularly young people of color, for nonviolent crimes.
Everyone in this country has a right to quality, affordable health care.
The very foundation of our democracy depends on the integrity of our elections.
Budgets reflect our priorities, who we are as a nation, what we're going to put first, and emphasize and invest.
I worry Mr. Trump believes he's special just because he's Mr. Trump and that the rules don't apply to him and the people around him.
We are having trouble finding teachers to teach STEM. We also need to make sure schools have the resources. Some communities have multiple computers for each student in their schools. Other schools don't have textbooks, let alone computers.
As a Democrat, it's easy for me to talk about immigration. For my Republican friends, they could get criticized from the Right in their party.
