I don't even think the biggest divide is between Republicans and Democrats. I think it's between institutionalists and reformers.

History will judge harshly my Republican colleagues who deny the science of climate change. Similarly, those Democrats who would use climate change as a basis to regulate out of existence the American experience will face the harsh reality that their ideas will fail.

If Adam Schiff is able to review covert operations and intelligence, and if we have to be able to rely on his representations, our whole system is broken.

It's a huge deal when you have got people of the Department of Justice and FBI making fundamental misrepresentations to the FISA court.

Congress has broad powers to regulate and control commerce. Congress also cannot force a state to 'un-decriminalize' something; states' rights are routinely upheld by the Court.

President Trump says his highest priority is America and the American people. The fact that this idea has been met with shock is itself shocking; if America's success is not the president's goal, what is? Is it looking good in photo-ops, while debt grows, jobs dwindle, bureaucracy reigns supreme, and the American people suffer?

I strongly support the rights of transgender individuals. I will not denigrate or deny their struggles.

We're called conspiracy theorists because we see this cabal right in front of us. We're able to aggregate these data points and show what was really going on.

The question for America is pretty simple: either we want a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington telling us what we can't do, or we empower American innovators to unlock things that we can do.

I do believe that it's very frequent that officials from foreign governments will meet with members of Congress. They will meet with folks associated with campaigns. That's not aberrational here in Washington.

I don't trust CNN anchors.

It's a big deal when you have got to fire the deputy director of the FBI because he lies four times, twice under oath. It's also a big deal when you have got to reassign people off the Mueller probe, when you have got cash at the Democratic National Committee that is convertible into a warrant to spy on American citizens.

At best, a 100-day measurement of a new presidency is a meaningless abstraction. At worst, it's an invite to cheap politicking at the expense of the common good.

I never underestimate the power of the American people.

We need the speaker to be an institutionalist for the Congress, not to be a defender of the deep state.

I don't know why anyone would want businesses and families and individuals nationwide to suffer. But by voting against tax reform, Democrats showed that was exactly what they stand for: less money for families and more money into Washington, D.C.

I'm a Christian, and I believe the Immaculate Conception was how Jesus was born.

I love going on Chris Hayes' show. It probably is my favorite because of the intensity of the intellectual combat.

When Donald Trump calls you, it's like you have a little Trump rally in your ear.

I'm on the pro-science side of the Republican Party.

I do think that if you've got a compelling argument to make in this country, going on television, going online, being on social media, you've got a broader ability to be effective at communicating your message if you engage a wide span of platforms rather than just standing on the House floor in the middle of the night, speaking to an empty room.

If you think I have the power to determine when people leave their spouses, you attribute far too much credit to me.

Russia engages in a malign influence campaign all over the world. I would expect that they would try to undermine democracy here just that they - as they have in other places.

While I unconditionally support the First Amendment, inciting violence against others due to their political affiliation is not constitutionally protected speech.

If we got more efficient with electric grid capacity, we would substantially reduce our carbon footprint, and people would be likely to copy us.
