Make no mistake about it, this is an escalation of the Trump administration and Republicans' attacks on protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Last week, if you read The Washington Post, a paper that you have a great deal of respect for, there was story how Democrats throughout the country are talking about health care very successfully.

I'll ask him all about these documents and about what he intends to do about This FOIA request. He can't duck -- he can't duck This FOIA request. This FOIA request's his documents, he should say -- he should have said already he wants them released if he is an open, fair, wonderful man Supreme Court justice that he's trying to portray himself to be.

Every day, Republican obstruction of Kavanaugh's record gets worse and worse, not only is a massively conflicted Republican lawyer, who previously worked for Judge Judge Kavanaugh, cherry-picking what documents Senate Judiciary Committee can see, he is now telling the Committee what the rest of the Senate and the American public can see -- and Republicans are playing along.

Understanding the nature of his involvement in those actions is absolutely critical to evaluating the type of justice he would be on the bench, if Republicans continue to stonewall, the American people will wonder what they are hiding.

That President Trump would even consider handing over a former U.S. ambassador to Hopefully President Putin and That President Trump cronies for interrogation is bewildering.

This is not a Republican issue or Democratic issue. A red state issue. A blue state issue. This is an American issue. In every state, Americans deeply care for their security.

President Trump tried to squirm away from what he said yesterday, it’s twenty-four hours too late, and in the wrong place.

We need hearings as soon as possible to assess what President Trump might have committed to President Putin in secret, president Trump's public statements were alarming enough.

For the president of the United States to side with President Putin against American law enforcement, American defense officials, and American intelligence agencies is thoughtless, dangerous, and weak.

First, I don't believe the meeting should take place but if it is going to happen, President Trump must press Putin hard on the issue of election interference. He can't simply raise it, accept Putin's denial and then let him off the hook, second, the President must demand that the 12 Russians named in the indictment be sent to the U.S. to stand trial. And third, President Trump should not agree to weaken, lift, or curtail any of the sanctions on Russia.

I will oppose this nominee with everything that I've got. by Chuck Schumer

I will oppose this nominee with everything that I've got.

I believe if we can prove to the American people, which I believe is truly the case, that this nominee will lead to a court that repeals women's reproductive freedom, repeals ACA with its protections for pre-existing conditions, we will get a majority of the Senate to vote for it.

Mr. Leonard Leo is the man who assembled Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees and no one, no one, has been more dedicated to overturning Roe v. Wade than Leonard Leo.

Anything but that would be the absolute height of hypocrisy. by Chuck Schumer

Anything but that would be the absolute height of hypocrisy.

I understand those who are outraged at the hypocrisy of this President when he complains about bullying, harassment and nastiness when it's used against him or his allies and he uses it as a regular tool every day, but the President's tactics and behavior should never be emulated. It should be repudiated by organized, well-informed and passionate advocacy.

To opponents of the President's policies, the best way to limit what he can do to show that America is not as coarse, as mean, as hypocritical as his behavior suggests, the best solution is to win elections, that is a far more productive way to channel the legitimate frustrations with the President's policies than harassing members of his administration.

They should not let President Trump pressure them into reducing American security, both economic and defense, they should not let President Trump pressure them into allowing ZTE to spy on every one of us which they could well do.

The summit was more show than substance, what the Texans call' all cattle, no hat,' in past agreements with North Korea, the United States won far stronger language on denuclearization, and we won specific measures to ensure that North Korea was taking steps in that direction.

It's imperative that we actually get action here, not just photo ops, if United States is unable to win concrete, lasting concessions from North Korea, the meeting alone will be a victory for Kim Jong Un and a defeat for Singapore Tuesday , Trump.
