Xavier Becerra

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

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.

There is no place for violence against women anywhere.

It wouldn't surprise me if this administration has sights set on what it would like American to look like.

We think it's un-American. We think it's unlawful and we believe it would destroy good portions of our economy if we allowed a rule like this to take effect.

This policy won't stand. I can say that to you as not just the attorney general from the state of California, I say it to you as an American, I say to you as a son of immigrants.

And that's what has made American great. We don't just say give us the folks who've already proven to be the top performers, that's all we want. We want people who have to struggle and show that they want to make a difference when they get…

I'd invite Mr. Cuccinelli to meet my parents who have lived the words of Emma Lazarus, who believe in the Statute of Liberty and who probably would not have qualified over the interpretation of Mr. Cuccinelli.

If you're a strict constructionist and you believe the words of the Constitution should be read literally, and if Article I of the Constitution says the power of the purse, the ability to appropriate money belongs to Congress, not to the…

I don't think I understand what Senator Graham is talking about. The kids in Kentucky who aren't getting as good an education as they might otherwise are going to suffer for a long time because Donald Trump's going to spend years and tens…

The president is trying to usurp Congress' authority. The president doesn't have the power of the purse. The president can't decide to shuffle money around once Congress has allocated.

Simply because Donald Trump fabricated a crisis and called it a national emergency doesn't mean that he can violate the separation of powers under the Constitution.

And to say that is an emergency and then within 24 hours of having said it, go off to Florida to your Mar-a-Lago resort, when you think there is a national emergency. I think all the evidence, including what Donald Trump says and does…

It's always a roll of the dice when you try to rely on report language or legislative history.

Federal prosecutors have the authority right now to criminally prosecute those who violate Section 230.

The broad reach of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act even applies to those alleged to support the exploitation of others by human trafficking.

S. 1693 is a serious effort to balance the virtues of a free and open Internet with the bedrock American value that our children are our greatest asset, each one of them, and we must hold those who exploit them accountable.

This knowing standard, by the way, in our legislation is a high bar, as the lawyers around this panel know.

It's important to thank the tech industry. As all of you know, many in the tech industry have stepped up to be partners with law enforcement and child advocates to combat human trafficking.

The fact that instances of human trafficking and sex trafficking are actually increasing in this country in this century is an outrage.

It's the rubber hitting the road, Senator, and we're facing it all the time.
