This is just as important as 1964. We have to remember this heritage. The task that they accomplished was harder than this task.

I can just tell you, as somebody who's old enough to remember the '60s and the civil rights efforts of my parents and the fight for civil liberties, I'm inspired just to be in the room with you, because it gives us confidence as we now…

Our foreign policy cannot be about military might, and it can't be about cutting people off with tariffs.

If the prediction markets are allowed to keep operating unchecked does this pose an existential threat to both tribal sovereignty and to Indian Country, and what can Congress do to better protect Indian gaming?
