    We need to send a powerful message that America stands up for human rights everywhere in the world and that Khashoggi’s murder is unacceptable. We need to find out what happened.

    Let’s be clear: State Department’s response to Khashoggi’s murder is completely inappropriate. The Trump Administration needs to pursue accountability and advocate for human rights—not use this moment to praise Saudi’s handling of the Khashoggi case and leave it as a side note.

    . stated, under oath, that doesn’t detain children. That’s completely inaccurate. Children and families are held in facilities by ICE, which is part of DHS. Children are held by the Border Patrol before transfer to HHS; I witnessed kids in cages at the border.

    Mr. President, This is not how we treat sexual assault survivors. Your comments last night were disgusting and offensive. No decent person laughs at another’s pain. You should immediately apologize.

    The FBI investigation was necessary, but it’s not sufficient. The courts MUST intervene to make sure Kavanaugh’s FULL record is available for public scrutiny. And that’s why I filed a motion for a restraining order against President Trump & Mitch McConnell.

    Brett Kavanaugh’s pattern of conduct, extreme views, and failure to be fully truthful and forthcoming under oath make him entirely unsuited to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. For the good of the country and the integrity of the court, he should step aside.

    I am really disturbed that the all-male Republican Judiciary Committee members — the R-11 — are making unreasonable demands on Dr. Ford. To my R-11 colleagues: treat Dr. Ford with the same decency you would give if it was your mother or sister or daughter — Nothing less.
