U.S. State Attorneys General

I would like to be able to count on your Department to work with me and the stakeholders in Hawaii on advancing efforts to protect our native and endangered species.

The United States enjoys unique and mutually beneficial relationships with the independent nations of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau.

Thank you for understanding the nature of our fauna, because we are also the invasive species capital of our country.

I look forward to working with you and the rest of the Department as you work to support this community.

You’re vaccinated, guess what? You get to return to a more normal lifestyle. If you’re not vaccinated, you’re still a danger -- you’re still in danger as well, so get vaccinated.

When Jeff Sessions said that he was going to discontinue these -- these consent decrees because of systemic pattern and practice brutality, that actually, I think, accelerated the problem.

I would argue that the community expects a degree of independence. The community likes the idea that there are no conflicts, no affinities, no longstanding friendships, no loyalties, that the only thing at issue is justice.

Without any question Merrick Garland`s announcement of DOJ involvement in Minneapolis and in other places is welcome news.

I think that, if we have nothing to hide, we shouldn`t worry about what might be found by the international community.

I have a pretty high degree of certainty because Speaker Pelosi put out a statement today that when they return in May that they intend to vote on the Senate bill.

Passing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act sends a clear and unmistakable message of solidarity to the AAPI community.

I think that Josh Hawley is not the one that I want to particularly spend our time on. He didn’t might not want to stand with the AAPI community in condemning these kinds of totally unprovoked attacks on them.

Yes, I agree with you that that is exemplary behavior.

And now the cause of justice is in your hands. And when I say your hands, I mean the hands of the people of the United States.

The momentum and the emotion and the feeling and the sense of possibility that people may feel because of this verdict should be channeled into a national policing reform bill that`s pending before the Senate right now, the George Floyd…

The people who stopped and raised their voices on May 25th, 2021, old, young, men and women, black and white, a man from the neighborhood just walking to get a drink, a child going to buy a snack with her cousin, an off duty firefighter on…

They stopped and raised their voices, and they even challenged authority because they saw his humanity. They stopped and they raise their voices because they knew that what they were seeing was wrong.

I would not call today’s verdict justice however, because justice implies true restoration, but it is accountability which is the first step towards justice. We need true justice. That’s not one case. That is a social transformation that…

If the country had completely united after January 6th and said wow we have a real problem here, we have to do everything we possibly can to pass the best laws with him federally to combat domestic terrorism which is an issue.

Not one of them would go before the committee to indicate that domestic terrorism was even a problem in the United States.

I am for these national kinds of standards that will encourage the private sector to step up.
