Dana Nessel
@dananessel· MI· Dec 10, 2020

I'm relieved that they did the right thing. Obviously, I'm happy that the 5.5 million people who voted in my state won't have their votes disenfranchised, and that the 10 million people who live in my state will be properly represented…

I almost don't know how to describe whatever this lawsuit is because it's so insane. And it's insulting quite honestly to have the state of Texas come in to my state, Michigan, and to try to overturn the results where nearly 155,000…

Xavier Becerra
@xavierbecerra· Democratic · CA· Dec 7, 2020

Becerra will be taking over that gigantic department. He has been viewed as a very capable not only politician and leader in the Democratic Party, but also a very capable manager, and he will be taking over something big with a lot of…

Letitia James
@letitiajames· NY· Nov 30, 2020

Our investigation was based on the testimony of Michael Cohen. There are those in this administration, including the president, who would like to argue that I'm playing politics. We follow the law in my office, and the politics stops at…

Letitia James
@letitiajames· NY· Nov 30, 2020

This is nothing more than an attempt by a president who has exhibited anti-immigrant sentiment that he, unfortunately, will disregard the humanity of individuals who reside in our country.

@letitiajames· NY· Nov 30, 2020

Regardless of your immigration status, that doesn't -- you don't cease to be a whole person, which is required under the Constitution.

Mazie Hirono
@maziehirono· Democratic · HI· Nov 30, 2020

Oh, I only hope that it's the end stage. And as he continues to flail around and file more lawsuits, every single one of which except for one minor, he calls it a victory. He's going to keep ongoing, but 51 days, Joy.

Josh Kaul
@joshkaul· WI· Nov 18, 2020

Yes, there's no question about who's won the state of Wisconsin. Donald Trump is basically in the equivalent position of somebody who had bought a lottery ticket but he's bought the ticket after the lottery has happened. It is over. And we…

Well, first, the recount itself is virtually certain to confirm what we already know which is that Joe Biden won Wisconsin by about 20,000 votes.

If the tax on the individual mandate has been reduced to zero, so no one will pay anything, how are you -- how are you harmed?

Letitia James
@letitiajames· NY· Nov 2, 2020

On Election Day, I urge everyone to stand in line in quiet dignity and in defiance to what this president and his administration is doing because it's, again, it's adverse to our values and to who we are as Americans. It's important that…
