U.S. State Attorneys General

It is a felony under Michigan law to deter or otherwise disrupt the person attempting to vote.

The president is going to select someone who will not only side with him if he should bring a court challenge to the election results but who will also vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act and pushing millions and millions of people…

The next Supreme Court justice will be expected to not expand any of those rights, not to protect any of those rights. That is what is at stake in this election.

The president keeps talking about it because he's the one who 's trying to set the stage for a rigged election.

The second thing would be to cut back Roe v. Wade, either to totally undo Roe v. Wade or restrict it to the point where it's basically no protection at all for a woman's right to choose.

A proportionate response only gets to be discussed when the Democrats take back the Senate. And this is why -- this is really important for the American people, not only to keep seeing those tapes of all the senators, seeing what they did…

The first thing that's going to happen, for whoever this person that Trump is going to nominate will do two things. One, she or he will strike down the Affordable Care Act when already 55 million people are without health care, and all the…

We only get to do a proportional response if the Democrats take back the Senate. And that's why -- I don't hold that much hope that we're going to have two more Republicans to actually follow their conscience because that is actually…

Mitch McConnell feels a sense of urgency to fill every single judicial vacancy. He has said so and he is living up to it.

A woman's right to choose is very much imperiled, as well as individual rights, worker's right, union rights, you name it.

The lasting legacy of the Trump presidency will be all of the ideological total right-wing judges that he has placed on our federal courts for life.

I think it mattered to my Republican friend and colleague, Lisa Murkowski, as she has already put out a message that to fill this vacancy now, and not wait until 2021 would be a double standard.

I know what her last fervent wish was, that she should not be replaced until a new president is installed.

First of all, I think we should hold their feet to the fire and expect them to live up to the words they said. But beyond that, we Democrats are going to do everything we can. We haven't determined what all of that might be, but we will…

It is certainly up to the rest of us. and I'm glad that my friend and Republican colleague Lisa Murkowski came on and said it would be a double standard to try and push somebody through in only 46 days.

And that would be very bad for women's right to choose, bad for unions, bad for working people, LGBTQ rights, bad for the Affordable Care Act -- you name it, the voting rights act.

So I hope that there are other Republicans who have the courage of the words that they said when they stepped forward when Mitch McConnell said, we're not going to deal with Merrick Garland nine months before the election.

There is a recognition of this. You probably know that of the $4.1 billion that the DOD invests in research and development at universities and colleges, less than 0.5 percent goes to historically black colleges and universities [HBCUs]…

NIST [National Institute of Standards and Technology], in a study I think last year, found that African-American and Asian faces--we are talking about facial recognition in targeting, identifying--10 to 100 times more likely to be falsely…

I have some concerns that you have mentioned, Mr. Chairman, and that has been a topic of conversation, and that is biases in both the development and the deployment of AI.

Ari, Donald Trump lost to Hillary Clinton by over 4.5 -- four million votes in the state of California.

California, fortunately, we have local officials and our state officials who are working really hard to make sure that every vote will count.

Well, at the end of, Ari, it's the denial that harms California the most, because, if we could tackle climate change now, aggressively, we begin to deal with these raging fires.

Well, no doubt that Donald Trump is playing with fire by ignoring what's going on.
