U.S. State Attorneys General

It just totally comports with the rush that the Republicans have to confirm Judge Kavanaugh, in spite of two other allegations that come forward, credible reports.

The Republicans and the president do not want to reopen the FBI investigation. We're all calling for that. And that's not happening.

He accused the Democrats of some kind of a vast conspiracy to do him in.

I prefer to say that I believe Dr. Ford.

I think there were all the indicators of the truthfulness of what she was telling us, and her testimony was very powerful in its truth. There's no reason for her to lie, and she, as well as the other two people who have made reports about…

I would like to have you continue to make sure that you implement the VA telehealth bill that Senator Joni Ernst and I were really pushing for.

Whatever efforts you are making to reach out to the veterans, I think that is important.

The President admits on tape to assaulting women. He separates children from their parents. He takes basic healthcare protections from those who need them most.

Does character matter? Do our values, our real values about what is right and what is wrong and about whether we treat our fellow human beings with dignity and respect, do they matter anymore?

The prosecutor should know that sexual assault survivors often do not remember peripheral information, such as what happened before or after the traumatic event.
