For a guy who promised to be tough on China, President Trump's reliable deference to President Xi is all the more bewildering. Being tough on China when it comes to human rights will also help us win the battle on trade.

The hypocrisy, the self-serving nature of the president's statements and his Republican allies here in the House and Senate is glaring.

One the one hand, you say you want everything to be public when it comes to the hearings. But you won't give up any documents, the hypocrisy, the self-serving nature of the president's statements and his Republican allies here in the House and Senate is glaring.

I asked the president what his plan was to contain ISIS. He didn't really have one.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday was insulting, particularly to the speaker. Speaker Pelosi kept Speaker Pelosi cool completely, but President Donald Trump on Wednesday called Speaker Pelosi a third-rate politician, this was not a dialogue, it was sort of a diatribe. A nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts.

We need the complaint, simply to release the transcript is not going to come close.

They (Republicans) know darned well that $12 billion in additional money for the wall is not going to fly with Senate Democrats or the House of Representatives.

It's critical that we respond to the Chinese Communist Party's actions against the people of Hong Kong as they exercise their right to freedom of expression and other fundamental democratic rights, we must take action to demonstrate to President Xi that the United States Senate stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong.

The United States Military Academy at West Point was founded as an engineering school, designed to ensure that our Army's leaders had access to the best resources and education that would enable them to succeed in their military careers in defense of our nation, now, we find out that funds that Congress appropriated to design and build a state-of-the-art engineering center at West Point have been redirected for an expensive and ineffective wall at the southern border.

It is a slap in the face to the members of the Armed Forces who serve our country that President Trump is willing to cannibalize already allocated military funding to boost President Trump own ego and for a wall President Trump promised Mexico would pay to build.

We Democrats are not going to settle for half-measures so Republicans can feel better and try to push the issue of gun violence off to the side.

I talk to her three, four, five times a day. I think we have the same view. Let's get the facts. Let's get all the facts, and then we'll make decisions, every member of the House and Senate is going to do what he or she thinks is appropriate. I think, as I said, Speaker Pelosi is handling this appropriately.

If Senate Republicans elevate such a partisan player to a position that requires intelligence expertise and non-partisanship, it would be a big mistake.

We're close, there is a desire to come to an agreement from all of us.

My worry here is if Mulvaney tries to be too hard on the offset side that we wouldn't be able to come to an agreement, i hope he will let Steve Mnuchin and us come to the agreement and I think we can get it quite soon.

President Trump is missing an opportunity to nominate a fighter for workers, like a union member, to be Americas next Labor Department Secretary, instead, President Trump has again chosen someone who has proven to put corporate interests over those of worker rights. Workers and union members who believed President Trump when President Trump campaigned as pro-worker should feel betrayed. In 2005, Walmart hired Antonin Scalia to defend against whistleblower lawsuitsby employees who alleged wrongdoing in the company.
