Senators Cruz, Hawley and others who object to certifying the vote by the Presidential electors from the states can never again claim to support the Constitution they once swore to uphold!
Don’t be confused. Heidi Heitkamp supports protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Kevin Cramer has been voting to kill those same protections. That’s a fact!
So sad and angry to see North Dakota Attorney General join Texas in asking the Supreme Court to overturn the Presidential election for Donald Trump! A shameful decision disrespecting the Constitution.
Was it a stolen election? No! Those are lies peddled by fast talkers and slow thinkers. Trump, Giuliani, Flynn, Bannon, Lindell, Byrne, Powell and more! One wonders how they can sleep! America deserves better!
I support both the infrastructure and reconciliation bills! But with narrow margins in the House and Senate, I support Speaker Pelosi’s approach to getting this done!
So Nikki Haley now says she will vote for someone she called “unstable” and “unhinged”. When will we see republicans show an ounce of courage in responding to Donald Trump?
Senator Heidi Heitkamp would be a great choice for Secretary of Agriculture in the Biden Administration! She is experienced, knowledgeable and was an outstanding farm state U.S.Senator. A perfect fit!
Trump says “our children are taught in schools to hate their own country”! That is an unbelievably ignorant statement by a demagogue who tries in every way to divide Americans!
I served with Joe Biden for many years in the U. S. Senate. He’ll be a good President. Smart and capable with good character he will serve our country with dignity and decency. I’m proud to support him!
Every Republican Senator now has an obligation to our country..all of them need to tell Donald Trump it is over! He lost! Now he needs to stop denying the obvious and stop hurting our country.
I served in the Senate with John McCain. He was a friend of mine. And yes, Mr. President, you did call him a loser. It’s on tape! Have you no shame? McCain served his country with honor! You should do the same!
As a U.S. Senator, one of my proudest days was my vote to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Serve on the Supreme Court in 1993. America is a better place because she was there! God bless her! I am so very sad tonight!
Bob Dole was someone I served with in the U.S. Senate. He was an American patriot who fought for his country and then served his country with excellence for decades. He was an inspiring leader and I will miss him!
“SHAME” is hardly a strong enough word for what the Republican National Committee did yesterday in censuring Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger for standing up for our Constitution! Just plain shameful!
Voting against an investigation of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was a new political low for the Trump political chorus in the U.S.Senate. Americans deserve politicians with courage to do the right thing!
I wonder if Governor DeSantis is ever embarrassed by his own behavior as he attacks Dr. Fauci? His lack of respect for excellent public service is obvious!
There is no evidence that the 2020 election was corrupt. None! But there is increasing evidence of corruption in the Trump Administration as they tried to overturn the election results!
A $49 million retirement payment for former Sanford Health CEO? I thought Sanford Health was a non-profit organization! Who will pay for that? I think we know that answer!
Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell formed a Supreme Court that has now taken away a basic constitutional right women in America have had for fifty years! Shameful!
President Trump’s behavior is an outrage! He lost! It’s time he stops whining and starts packing. And it’s time some Republican Senators have the courage to tell him that!
Harry Reid was an American original! Tough, smart, honest! I served with him in the Senate leadership for sixteen years. He was a wonderful friend and I will deeply miss him! My thoughts and prayers go to his family tonight!
Joe Biden didn’t steal the election. He won it! In fact it was Donald Trump who attempted to steal the election! And it is continuing now! New disclosures every single day provide the evidence!
The evidence is powerful and overwhelming! If I were still in the Senate I would vote to convict the President. America should never accept that his behavior was excusable or explainable! It is impeachable!
This is one of those votes the Senators will live to regret! This isn’t just a bad vote! It is a vote to undermine the U.S. Constitution they took an oath to support! America will not forget that moment or those Senators!
President Trump said he would pay off the federal debt in eight years. Instead, in his four years he increased the debt by nearly $8 trillion with tax cuts and higher spending.
There’s little honor among thieves. And those who stole the Obama nomination of Justice Garland to the Supreme Court are now preparing to steal another, and dishonor RBG!
Heidi Heitkamp is a strong, courageous Senator who has the character, and decency that inspires me. She believes that when we all work together, we are a stronger nation! That is her record in the Senate!
The President deserves no congratulations for solving a problem he caused. Separating children from their parents at the border was both a shameful policy and an attack on American values!
Senator Hawley says 77percent of republicans believe the election was fraudulent. That’s because Trump has been telling them for months if he lost it was fraud. There is no evidence. It’s just more dishonesty!
I am proud to have voted against the nomination of Justice Alito when I served in the Senate. What he, along with Thomas and Trump’s three new Justices have done to the rights of American women, is disgusting!
Profiles in Courage? Hardly! Very little evidence of that today from the GOP Leadership. They won’t even support an investigation of the attack on our Nation’s Capitol!
Another quid pro quo! Roger Stone lies to protect the President. He’s convicted of 7 felonies. The President rewards him by commuting his prison sentence. “Justice”? No, it’s called corruption!
The election of Rep. Jordan as speaker will be major mistake. The lubrication of democracy is compromise. Embrace the best ideas from both sides. Find ways to reach smart compromise on difficult issues. Jordan’s approach is to turn up the volume rather than finding solutions.
We have plenty of challenges in America. But those who would bet against our country make a big mistake. We will find our way! Our best days are still ahead of us!
Trump was convicted by a jury of twelve Americans who heard the evidence and found him guilty. Instead of expressing remorse for breaking the law, he now falsely attacks the U S Justice Dept!
President Trump’s refusal to concede that he lost the election is a permanent stain he will carry forever. His lies about a “stolen election” provide fuel to anarchists and will continue to threaten our democracy!
Broken hearted is the only way to describe my feelings about these horrible shootings. Today 14 students and a teacher were slaughtered in their classrooms. Last week it was shoppers in a grocery store. We must find a way to stop it!
Chief Justice Roberts in his 2021 year end report promised to address ethics violations in federal courts. Now those ethics violations are finding a home in the Supreme Court with Justice Clarence Thomas!
In the Senate, it’s not about how they dress, but how they think. Still, I think eliminating the dress code is a mistake. The U. S. Senate floor is not a place for shorts and sweatshirts.
Chief Justice Roberts should insist Clarence Thomas recuse himself on issues about the January 6 attack on the Capitol. His wife is involved in disgusting efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. He has a clear conflict!
I voted for the nomination of Chief Justice Thomas while in the Senate. We disagreed on some issues, but he was well qualified. Now, I expect him to show leadership on the ethics violations that exist with Clarence Thomas!
Mitch McConnell’s endorsement of Trump puts party over country again. Trump tried to steal the election in addition to attacking McConnell’ wife and her ancestry! And McConnell supports Trump???
News headline today: “Justice Thomas says leak eroded trust in Supreme Court”. Actually, he and his spouse are the ones eroding trust in the Supreme Court!
Today the House D’s should finally pass the infrastructure bill and send it to the President! Holding it hostage was always a thoughtless strategy! So, pass it today! Then work on the reconciliation bill!
One of America’s great writers and historians died this week! David McCullough was someone very special in our country. I knew him as a quiet, elegant man whose writing inspired all of us.
All Americans should be concerned that the FBI found Top Secret documents were being stored at Mar-a-Lago. That is not a political issue! It puts our country at risk!
Former General Flynn is a disgrace for suggesting a Myanmar like military coup should happen in the U.S. He and people who think like him are a danger to our democracy!
The death today of Alexei Navalny in Russia is another piece of evidence that Putin is a murderer. One wonders how nearly 30 U. S. Senators could justify their votes this week to strengthen Putin and his Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Today is the third anniversary of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The CIA points to the Saudi Crown Prince as approving the murder. Yet, this Administration and others continue to do business with him! That should end!
Lt. Colonel Vindman went to war, earned a Purple Heart and was willing to die for his country. But he was not willing to lie for his President. For that, an American patriot was fired today by President Trump.
I remember as a young boy desperately wishing I could see Willy Mays play baseball. I was in a small North Dakota town,so it never happened! But the talent and enthusiasm of the “Say Hey” kid rubbed off on all of us. America misses the great Willy Mays today!
The lack of widespread Coronavirus testing is a scandal! Without aggressive, relentless testing we are blind. Where are the tests? Where is the leadership? Where does the buck stop?
Attorney General Barr is a disgrace! Seventeen U.S. intelligence agencies confirmed Russian interference in our elections. Now Barr is trying to find evidence to tarnish our intel agencies. Shameful!
Day after day Trump continues his dark art of demagoguery with resentment, hatred, self-justification. He can’t seem to understand that America has always been, and is now, a great country!
The Supreme Court hearings with justice Brown showed us the strength, courage and wisdom of a wonderful woman who I hope will serve on the Supreme Court for many years to come!
The longest line in American history is the voting line. And if we want to make America better, we need to be standing in that line on November 6th! They say the world is run by those who show up. This year more than ever all of us need to show up!
Vladimir Putin has launched a war with indiscriminate killing of innocent people in Ukraine. He is a monster with nuclear weapons who threatens to use them. The free world must find a way to stop him!
Not surprised by the Flynn pardon for lying. Roger Stone received the same gift for his dishonesty. It is pathetic behavior by a President who admires all of the lies told to protect him!
The Supreme Court has now taken up the question of whether a President is immune from criminal prosecution. Of course he’s not immune! But the Supreme Court decision buys Trump more time to push this off until after the election. Another bad SCOTUS decision! When will it end?
Recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court demonstrate why the American people have a negative view of the court. So much of it appears to be more about politics and less about the Constitution.
The relentless pursuit of truth is the only remedy that can undermine the absurd hoax about stolen elections. The January 6 Committee work is fully exhibiting the dishonor of those who peddle the lies about stolen elections.
Clearly Putin is guilty of war crimes! His Russian army is now targeting Ukraine civilians, killing men, women and children. Someday, somehow, this disgusting man needs to face real justice!
Military style assault weapons were produced for America’s soldiers to protect our country. When AR 15’s are being used to kill children in schools, it’s long past the time to ban their sale at gun stores.
138 Congressmen and 7 Senators voted against certifying the election of a man who won by 8 million votes. Is that staggering incompetence or blind partisanship? Maybe both!
Mr. President, please stop tweeting. You are causing problems, not solving them. Turn this crisis over to the experts who know what they are doing...And, by the way take off your campaign hat when you visit the CDC.
Those who have been voting against background checks for gun sales are the ones who are soft on crime. Ask them why they lack the courage to be tough on crime with background checks!
I’m tired of the thoughtless incompetence. We need immediate widespread testing. We need a believable pandemic Czar with real authority. No more delays or lame excuses while people are dying.
The President is arguing in court to abolish the Affordable Care Act. But he has no plan to replace it! In a pandemic he’s trying take health care coverage away from millions?
Unbelievable!
Shameful! It is the only word that fits when the President ignores the CIA conclusion and gives the Saudi Crown Prince a pass on murdering a respected journalist. Where are his values?
Lindsey, the “misinformation” as you call it comes directly from President Trump. He has repeatedly lied about so-called election fraud. Now we’ve seen the result....his supporters rioting at the U. S. capitol!
The increase in mass shootings in our country should finally convince every federal legislator that there must be a background check on all gun sales in the U.S.
Claiming the 2020 election was stolen is a demonstrable lie! How Donald Trump has persuaded so many republicans to believe it is both bizarre and dangerous!
Tomorrow, eight days before the election, Republican Senators will rush their vote to send Barrett to the Supreme Court for life! The American people can be the judge of that bad behavior.
GSA head Emily Murphy refuses to provide transition funding to the Biden transition. Did she take an oath to the Constitution, or to Donald Trump? What a shameful lack of courage!
Our nation is hunkering down to deal with both a pandemic and an economic crisis. Meanwhile Trump is tweeting about a Presidential Pardon for Flynn, it’s a disgrace!
The Trump tax cuts exploded the deficit! He was warned, but he didn’t care. The budget now anticipates over $1 trillion in yearly deficits for the next ten years and beyond. This is fiscal madness and cannot continue! America needs adult leadership!
