I think we're at an inflection point as a nation, and I think we can go in a number of different ways. I hope we go the direction of healing, of bringing people together, of trying to find our commonalities, not just focus on our…

The answer to debate and speech that you don't like is not violence or taking someone's life. It's more speech, it's more debate, it's more engagement, and that's what we need more of in our communities.

I think we will have a leader when we go through what I presume will be a necessary, a good and a productive, robust fight for the nomination in, you know, 2027, 2028.

without question the Trump administration is trying to stifle dissent.

Our foundational principle in this country... is about freedom of expression, freedom of speech.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying and this growing type of unconscionable violence cannot be allowed in our society.

Now is not a time to disrupt that with distrust, the way the president is doing in other communities.
