"I’ve faced work bullies as well. At work, the violence wasn’t physical, it was more structural and psychological. But I learned to stand up to them as well."

"The Trump administration notified Congress that we... are in armed conflict with a number of cartels... "designated terrorist organizations." ...But here's what's different about the strikes and what's precedent setting. The president and secretary Hegseth are refusing to tell the American people... the names, and they won't tell us why they're being targeted."

"Acknowledging you have a problem is the first step to recovery, and then we have to understand we've clearly got mental health issues."

"Celebrate your successes. I’m the last one to give great advice on how to do this, because I’m often wary of doing this myself! My team members frequently have to point these out to me — holding global events, testifying in Congress, giving a speech about gender equality in Saudi Arabia, being selected for two positions with the federal government (ambassador to the Equity in Energy initiative and member of the National Petroleum Council). I’m usually focused on what I still want to achieve for the company, and don’t stop often to look at what’s already happened. But my team helps me do so, and that’s important."

"If the president is going to fundamentally redefine the use of force in America... I believe Trump is reshaping the country to hold on to power."

"There are always critics. It’s really easy to say, “You can’t do something,” when you’re the one that’s not doing it! Don’t give in to that way of thinking. My experience on this journey proves that seemingly “impossible” things can be done."

"I think we need to just grapple with the fact that we have people all over the country who are using violence as a way to convey how they feel, whether they're going through mental hardship or they've got an agenda, and it is just a real - just we have to grapple with it as a country."

"To the military. You too have a critical role... According to law, there is such a thing as an illegal order. ...[I]n the choice between loyalty to the Constitution and loyalty to one man, there is only one right answer, and every one of you has taken that oath."

"I really believe that the existential threat to the country is not coming from abroad. It's the shrinking middle-class at home and what that does to our stability here."

"They were decent to each other. We were all on the same team, and I'm so glad that I got to be there in that moment to see that. And I'm so concerned with how far we feel from that moment."

"The smell of that - the burning buildings and that very sort of toxic chemically smell that was just hanging over New York for weeks, if not months, and it completely changed my life."

"In the Senate, we don’t... divide into progressive versus moderate... behind closed doors. The real debate... is: Do you believe that Trump’s second term is an existential threat to American democracy, or... like his first term, survivable if we... wait... and let his bad policies boomerang on him? ...[S]ome ...have been around and seen so many things ...in Washington that their approach... is just: wait. I do not fall in that camp. It’s not just about age. It’s approach. ...It is not like being in leadership means you’re automatically old guard and need to be booted out. But... leaders in the party are feeling upward pressure... [T]hat’s a good thing."

"What gives me hope is that I go home every weekend, and the vast majority of Michiganders live in that 80% middle that don't scream on the internet, that don't, you know, want to hurt their neighbors when they happen to disagree. They just want team normal."

"If there's a threat coming from abroad or, you know, something happening, you have to call balls and strikes on that or else people can get, you know, deeply hurt."

"There’s a lot of leaders in the Democratic Party. I liken it to a solar system. We have stars, and we have planets with their own gravitational pull, but we don’t have a sun that we all center around."

"I would push and prod for... [a] unified approach... I was going to take my best stab at it... We have lots of ideas, lots of different voices, and so in order to keep that coalition together, people have treated each other very carefully and run party offices and the party apparatus by consensus."

"I'm a national-security person, so I made a quad chart. ...I decided to work on the issues that fell into the quadrant that was both strategic and irreversible."

"In 2008, 2009, 2010, our recession was pretty close to a depression in Michigan. ...I'm not gonna stand silent while he threatens that in my state."

"Kamala Harris had a very short time to formulate her campaign. ...Donald Trump, whether you believe him or not, prioritized the talking point of cost of living and the economy. Democrats have policy plans... about good things... I still think we have good ideas. But when you prioritize everything, you actually prioritize nothing."

"[W]e need to get back to... fundamentals. The middle class is... essential... We need to grow and expand it. ...[W]e need to focus on... economic security... national security, and... democracy."

"It was not just the shooting. It was the fire, and the community is just trying to understand what happened. It is a testament to law enforcement."

"I come from a world of war planning... of constant, prudent planning.... where you can't just play defense only. There's no such thing as winning, in any operation or in any war, by just playing defense. What we owe the country is a strategy that does more than play defense."

"My issue is just oversight and making sure that I can turn back to Michiganders and say, if you are going to make the decision to invest in crypto, you are safe. You are not going to be scammed. You are not going to be defrauded out of that money. ...This administration has ...systematically dismantled independent commissions: the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the ...So now we have a new industry, crypto ...and I'm supportive of figuring out good regulation. ...Michigan is the number two online casino and sports betting state, $74 million annually. The tribes and our licensed sports prediction markets are the ones who control that. My understanding is that the CFTC regulations are clear on this issue, that sports contracts should not be allowed because they are equivalent to... gambling. ...President Trump announced that he is launching his own Truth Predict that would ...support event contracts and ...be traded."

"There's plenty of time for us to figure out what happened and what the motive was for this man, but it just - it doesn't matter at this point. These people are victims and they're survivors and this community is going to have a long road back to healing."

"My beginning question is always, what will complement the environment yet be unexpected? From here, creative ideas come easy. Inspiration is everywhere.”"

"I’m also a cancer survivor. I got cervical cancer at age 24, and battled it alone, without telling people. I didn’t want to pop the bubble of an image I had created — that I was building an exciting career, on my own, in a new city. When the cancer returned years later, I didn’t make that mistake. I was a wife and mom, and shared the information with family and close friends. I had a community. I was no longer focused on what other people might think, and was able to put more focus on what I needed."

"[M]ost Americans who voted for President Trump... did not vote for chaos. ...They didn't vote for cuts to veterans. They didn't vote for...tariffs. ...[I]n my state, it was an economic security vote. ...[H]e is gonna make you pay in every corner of your life. ...He may create a self-inflicted recession."

"It’s all about building a community around energy. I’m over the political squabbles and other divides that prevent us all from working as one team. I even argued in a Newsweek column that “big oil” companies should hire environmental activists like Greta Thunberg! Take all that energy and passion that people have to bring solutions, and have them contribute. Everyone stands to gain from what I call Energy 2.0 — the energy of the future, filled with renewable and other greener sources, as well as carbon reduction and carbon capture systems. This is what we’re building at ALLY Energy: one community around energy. And I’m determined to never give up."

"Life has always felt a bit stressful, and anxiety often lurks, looking for an opportunity to make itself known. Knowing this, I have participated in numerous well-being courses and spent many hours training to become a yoga and meditation teacher, as much for myself as for the many children and adults I have taught over the years."

"Finding calm amidst the hustle and bustle of city life can be a challenge, especially if you work in a busy environment and endure a daily commute. After teaching yoga and meditation for a few years, personal circumstances forced me back into an office role, and I found myself suffering from anxiety. Sleep became a challenge, leaving me unrested. I felt misunderstood, started losing confidence, and doubted my ability to perform my job even though I had previously held more senior roles."

"I am inspired by nature and appreciate the peace I experience when spending time outdoors, whether hiking in the mountains or walking alongside a river or the ocean. When we stop and pay attention, we notice that nature moves at its own pace, and there is no rushing. Nature teaches us resilience, patience, and the beauty of timing."

"The future,Wojcicki said, is dripping with possibilities"

"I have all the pieces in place"
