Do you think other governments see the President's treatment as a green light in other countries?

But I worry a lot about what is happening here and the kind of message that our President is sending when he calls the press the enemy of the people or calls any story that paints him in a bad light as fake news, what effects that must…

I just think that we have to avoid the temptation to see these nations as only charity cases because I think that it undermines, I think, their humanity and who they are.

Well, it can become very tempting for governments when they have the capacity to surveil to actually engage in that deep surveillance.

Well, it is clear that they are setting themself, themselves up in certain places to be able to collect data and keep that data and use it.

Thank you, Chairman. Secretary DeVos, thank you for your testimony. You know, over the last many years, we have had very heated debates and important debates about things like teacher pay, many of us believed they deserve a raise.

I would just hope that you all would really think about what your Department can do to be helpful to students.

In Texas, we have seen a backlash, especially among some of our politicians, against movements toward equality.

We cannot let fear impede progress. The American story is one of expanding equality for marginalized people.

What new approaches--and I guess let me also preface that by saying when I was in Texas I was vice chair of the higher education committee for 4 years and I saw, Mr. Ortega, that you worked in Texas for some time.
