Women Politicians In The United States

"With that being said, my life has gotten extremely busy over the last few years and those obligations no longer allow me the time to be a sponsoring organization.”"

"She used her state cell phone to send that picture to her colleagues on their state cell phones, telling them: ‘Look who this is. Look who her husband is. Her husband is Mark Robinson.”"

"You bring up the National Guard, you rise tensions. People come out and this is what you're starting to see happen."

"It was the sheriffs who got things under control, not the National Guard. In downtown L.A. that night, it was the LAPD who got things under control, it was not the National Guard."

"Some of those people, they're just dismissing their cases. They're trampling on due process. They're not even getting access to a lawyer."

"We felt like we were being targeted from the beginning"

"I didn't know her, didn't know personally. She was not a friend of mine.”"

"What’s the ‘one thing’ you do for your child? Children need everything, not one thing."

"When we think about income inequality, when we think about what the future looks like for our communities, [troubled schools are] no longer just an isolated problem. It’s a problem that we as Americans have to face, and if we don’t, we’re going to have a workforce that’s poorer and less prepared."

"Be joyful warriors and constant justice seekers."

"The best thing for a child is for parents (to) be consistent and have what they need. This is like the total opposite of that, in some ways. Because the kids are 100% traumatized. Parents don’t know and have no consistency."

"Radical empathy is not about you and what you think about a situation that you have never been in and probably never will be. It is a kindred connection from a place of deep knowing that opens your spirit to the pain of another as they perceive it."

"When people ask me what I want to be remembered for, it comes down to this: a relentless commitment to a fair shot for every single DC resident. Period."

"Her greatest aim is to bring to her audience the humanness of the Negro wherever he is found."

"The big, macho men from ICE who are storming around American cities like Visigoths are a bunch of cowards. They arm themselves as if they are battling ISIS terrorists in Iraq while the only threat they face is common American citizens with whistles and protest signs. They break into private homes without warrants, they gas school kids, they tackle women on the street, they smash into the cars of American citizens. And one of them summarily executed a mother of three children because -- well, because he could. They think they are tough, but they are punks hiding behind masks. They are poorly-trained thugs dressed up like real soldiers who think they are living out a video game where they get points for assaulting anyone who gets in their way. They are the farthest thing from the real cops who police communities with restraint, discipline and a knowledge of the law.These mercenaries do not serve the country, they serve a regime that excuses their unjustified violence and lies about their lawless actions. President Donald Trump falsely alleges that Renee Good, the mother of three gunned down in Minneapolis by an ICE agent, was a “professional agitator” who showed “disrespect” for law enforcement. His toady press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who will say any despicable thing to please her boss, accused Good of being “a lunatic.” The Homeland Security boss, Kristi Noem, branded Good a “domestic terrorist.” There is zero evidence of any of the Trump administration’s slander. Renee Good was, indeed, out on the street to monitor the actions of ICE, but, as anyone can see in the video taken seconds before she was murdered, she was smiling at the ICE agents and telling them she was not mad at them. Good was, in fact, doing what she had been ordered to do, moving her vehicle out of the way. Trump and his team are even bigger cowards than the cosplay cops they have sent to terrorize immigrants and punish Democratic cities. It takes leaders with maturity and guts to admit fault and accept accountability. The cruel clowns in the White House will never be brave enough to do that."

"nationwide injunctions ordered against the first Trump administration, Trump 1.0, account for more than half of the injunctions issued in this country since 1963. And President Trump had more injunctions in one full month of office, in February, than Joe Biden had in three years."

"The hoax is the Democrats pretending to care about victims of crime, when they do not care about victims of crime, when they have to done nothing to solve crimes, when they have done nothing to lock up child pedophiles and child rapists around the country. It is a distraction. The Democrats view the story as nothing more than an attempt to distract from the accomplishments and achievements of this administration. And that is what we mean when we call it a hoax."

"It’s very easy to speak truth from this podium when you have a president who is implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people, and that’s exactly what this administration is doing. It’s correcting the lies and the wrongs of the past four years, many of the lies that have been told to your faces in this very briefing room. I will not do that."

"If you’ve heard it from the president of the United States, obviously it’s true."

"You’re asking me for what the president’s justification is for these tariffs. It’s not up to you. You’re not the president, Gabe!"

"Nobody knows what it means to accomplish peace through strength better than President Trump. He is the one who came up with that motto, and that foreign policy doctrine, and he successfully implemented it in his first term."

"[The big beautiful bill] does not add to the deficit."

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people."

"There are some issues that transcend politics. While my position is certainly political, I am an American first.

"Diane was a strong, conscientious student involved in sorority and campus activities."

"We all thought very highly of Diane. She worked hard on legislation and researched bills carefully; she was often the one still working in the chamber after everyone else had gone."

"Her leadership in community and state service attests to the value of a land-grant education and will serve as a role model for the women who are able to study at ISU thanks to the scholarships she's provided."

"We felt that this would be the perfect tribute to Diane, honoring her enduring connection with Iowa State as well as her life achievements, especially her pioneering role in state politics during an important historic era."

"Diane became interested in working in the public sector to have a positive influence on the community and the state. She could always be counted on for enlightened public policy positions."

"She is a tremendous supporter, particularly of women who want to be involved in government and politics. She was a character, truly her own person. She was confident enough to be herself."

"We called for common ground and experienced leadership. It feels like that's what prevailed, and I'm happy about that."

"Meeting her was like interviewing for a job. And then she was such a supporter."
