This has been an era where I've had a difficult time struggling with the degree to which Donald Trump's presidency has been a moral violation after moral violation.

I will stand up for what's right without any equivocation whatsoever.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived to make that a moral institution based on the sacrosanct ideals of this nation, ideals of human rights and civil rights.

This is a life or death election. There's so much on the line here.

After 9/11, President Bush never once called terrorism a Muslim virus or an Arab virus or a Saudi virus. He made clear that the enemy was not the place where the terrorists came from or the people who lived there, but terrorism itself. He…
