I mean, we don't hold them accountable for their violations of the WTO and we don't hold them accountable for their violations of the trade agreements.

The Republican Civil War has been canceled, right? Like they want this forced unification behind Trump and to just shut up and move on and not talk about the insurrection, not do an investigation because they don't want to talk about it.

I am flabbergasted that--not that you do not know now, but that there is no public information about why we have all these National Guards here.

What was the purpose of the original--the National Guard that came and put up the fencing, what was the rationale?

As we confront this unprecedented challenge, we must accept our responsibility to build a recovery that uplifts all communities.

States will face a $615 billion revenue shortfall over the next three years due to the pandemic.

Our continued reliance on local property taxes to finance public education has ensured that public schools with the highest need are forced to do more with less.
