Claire McCaskill

Too many young women's lives are being changed forever for us to accept the status quo.

This is an inescapable fact that we have to fix.

That is and remains shocking.

I was honored to participate in Senator McCaskill's roundtables earlier this year.

The police should be the first responders when a crime this serious occurs.

When we are united, we are--I think an objective evaluation would say that we are a force to be reckoned with.

Senator McCaskill called it a complicated thicket where Title IX and law enforcement bump into each other.

It is shocking that this requirement does not yet exist.

It is critical we have this.

If you are not hiring the kinds of engineers that these automakers would want to hire away from you because of their incredible competence and capability, you can't regulate an industry.

The budget for NHTSA has been flat-lined for over a decade.

If you are not feared and respected, then you cannot do a good job policing the safety of automobiles in this country.

It's a sad state of affairs when an airbag manufacturer has now refused NHTSA's request to do a nationwide recall of airbags that are killing people.

The NFL is not showing the leadership that I believe that it should, and it certainly doesn't deserve the tax-exempt status.

I also handled domestic violence cases for many years, started the first domestic violence unit in Kansas City.

How many of you, yes or no, have an independent program for just wives and significant others?

We better shut down the homicide unit.

The status quo is not acceptable, that turning the other way and thinking that this problem is being handled by these players and their families out of the light, many, many, many families are suffering, and I think you all know that in…

I would like to know what happened on the investigation on the Rodriguez case.

I would like to have your league look at whether or not there should be a policy that that's required.

I think you need to remove every disincentive there is to punish players who have had bad conduct.

I think it's a good thing. I think it's terrific.

Professional sports must do a better job of setting an example to young people and victims of domestic violence, who face very difficult decisions as they struggle with holding their abusers accountable.

There was no place for us to go. The teams weren't calling us.

I want to make sure you get it.
