He let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody.

I thank you in advance for being active. This is about you. This is about your future. This is about your country. This is about your people ― and who is the power with?
I have been disappointed, deeply, deeply disappointed by people who are powerful who are bending the knee at the foot of this tyrant.
I would have done the family piece first, which is affordable childcare, paid leave, extension of the child tax credit.
And by the way, can history reflect on the fact that it was the closest presidential election?
I wrote the book for many reasons, but primarily to remind us how unprecedented that election was.
I’m not going to be distracted by, ‘Oh, does the guy have a big f–king hammer!?’ What about those babies!?
This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on.
If I listened to polls I would have not run for my first office, or my second office — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here.
If we can’t meet the basic needs of the people, there will be this backlash, which is going to resonate and sound like it is about ‘blame the rich’.
When we made the decision as an administration to put the infrastructure bill and the CHIPS Act first, I actually think that was a mistake.
I write in the book that I thought it was a big mistake to not invite Elon Musk when we did a big EV event.
There is a lot of consensus around the priorities of this moment, and that’s where I’m focused.
And the reality of it is where we are right now didn’t have to be this way — in terms of the blank check that this president has given.
