I have so much faith in Chris Murphy and his commitment to providing us with an option for some kind of commonsense gun safety legislation. So, as he remains optimistic, I remain optimistic.

The easy access to guns is what makes our country as Chris has said, makes our country the outlier of other nations.
We have seen a rise in domestic extremism. I think it is important that we take a look at the protective measures that we have in place.
This is such a horrific crime. This is a targeted attack on a public official and a judge. It's not the only targeted attack we've seen.
Look, what I think is that Congress has to come back to Washington. And we need to do our level best to raise the age to 21, for semi-automatic rifles, assault weapons.
He couldn’t be more wrong. I mean as you mentioned, you know, 72 plus percent of Americans support raising the age to buy a semi-automatic rifles -- this is an assault weapon -- to 21.
We can potentially arm and prepare and train teachers and other administrators to respond quickly, because the reality is we don’t have the resources to have law enforcement at every school.
This injunction is a victory for the millions of Michigan women fighting for their rights.
We need to get that message out loud and clear. A lot of the battle is going to happen at the state legislative race level because it is Republican state legislators and Republican governors that have for decades passed these kinds of…
The Democrats have a totally different view. We respect and acknowledge what used to be a constitutional right that we had for almost 50 years.
This is all about who`s going to make the decision? Is it going to be a woman or it is going to be government?
This could not be the end because as the Republicans take control of the U.S. House and Senate, then there will be a push for a nationwide ban.
The law either is there and it applies, in which case the Department of Justice should enforce it.
We have a bunch of justices who are very radical.
I think the Supreme Court should have a code of ethics.
One thing we`ll do is to push for more Democratic pro-choice senators. But this fight is going to be taking place a lot at the state level because it is the state legislators who are passing all of these anti-abortion bills and they have…
A 50-50 Senate sucks. That is why we need more than 50 Democratic senators.
Our constitution under the Michigan Constitution under the Equal Protection Clause, under the Due Process Clause, the rights of women in our state are protected, and that this is a fundamental right, even under our state constitution.
The resources of our State Department of Justice are far better used investigating and prosecuting serious offenses, and that there is no reason to use those resources instead to infringe on fundamental reproductive freedom by…
Politicians do not belong in our doctor`s offices, they don`t belong in our bedrooms, and they should not be making these kinds of decisions on behalf of the American public and on behalf of women across America.
They're trying to regulate women's bodies, and that's what they've wanted to do from the very beginning.
The majority knew that they wanted to overturn Roe. They have very right wing radicalized beliefs about whether or not women should have control over their own bodies and bodily autonomy.
I think that what's going to happen is doctors will be so afraid that there will be investigations into these procedures, even understanding that many times those procedures are performed where there -- you know, there is no viability any…
