"You do not lose sight of what you believe in, you do lot lose sight of the goal. You drown out the voices, because there are bigger battles to fight."

"Tasteless remarks and inappropriate advances against women should have no place in our society. We should expect that most of all from our leaders."

"This is our vision: Women rising together, pulling together up, chipping away at barriers together, changing conversations, sparking new fires of hope and courage and resolve within each other, and freeing each other in every aspect possible."

"When the path seems too difficult, remember that you were made for these times—to pave a new way forward for our nation, and for the rest of humanity."

"How much of yourself are you willing to lose just to win?"

"Don’t ask if it’s hard, ask if it is important … There are a lot of reasons to be frustrated but there is a bigger fight ahead. Drown out the noise and focus on what we need to do."

"It's going to enable us to feed more people"

"The technology promises improvements to everything from industrial processes to agriculture to transportation, Firth-Butterfield said. But it also could lead to a raft of challenges and dangers, including massive job losses in a relatively short period of time, the illegitimate denial of goods or services thanks to flawed or biased algorithms, and citizens' loss of control of what was previously personal data."

"It's really important that we know that there are all these different tensions, because without addressing them, we are really left with, I suspect, a failing trust in the technology," she said. "What I certainly don't want to see are all the benefits of AI somehow being lost because we haven't put in the ethical underpinnings to help the public know that we're doing something safe"

"It's really important" that we make sure that we're "not encoding own prejudices and taking them forward with us, because if do that, we will actually stultify the development of the world."

"Personalized education using AI for kids is going to be a huge game changer."

"On the other hand, such toys raise a host of issues that policymakers are only starting to get a handle on. The privacy implications alone of potentially having a toy — or a succession of them — collect a child's every utterance from the time they can talk until adulthood are tremendous. That is an issue that we really have to solve."

"We don't have the luxury of a long time to actually even out the effects on job loss with this revolution, because it's happening so quickly."

"AI's running fast, and we need to run as fast with governance mechanisms."

"We are in a good position to win the primary … because the coalition of people have shown up. They are excited."

"For the mamas and grandmas who marched to make sure that women could control our own bodies: We are Not. Going. Back."

"I often tell the story of my grandmother, Sarah Daisy, who wanted to work for the federal government. She taped a piece of paper to the refrigerator to teach herself how to type in order to pass a Civil Service Exam, which included a typing test. She practiced every day and soon landed herself a job at the Pentagon—her dream job. I am so honored to be her legacy."

"Motivated by my grandmother’s story, I always knew I wanted to serve others."

"This is our moment to leave Donald Trump where he belongs: in America’s past."

"For the ancestors who sat at lunch counters and made sure that we all had the right to vote: We are not. Going. Back."

"The idea that taking a tariff rate of 1.5 percent and turning it into a tariff rate of 15 percent plus is somehow a win for Americans — I’m just baffled by the concept. Because no one would say that if you took the sales tax on certain goods and you increased it 15-fold, that was a win for Americans. But effectively, that’s what we’ve done."

"Although there were a lot of people who were going to go into corporate law or who were interested in financial institutions, the nature of the classes, because they were situated in the law school, was that you didn’t do a lot of the things that you would do in a core finance course: understanding balance sheets, thinking through whether an investment opportunity makes sense, testing whether a firm experienced abnormal returns when its earnings were announced."

"I’m excited about being part and parcel of the experience for students that are thinking through this next stage of their careers."

"The current system really doesn’t work well for people who are lower income in our society because we have banks that charge them exorbitant fees. Consumers then don’t want to go to banks because of those fees and instead turn to alternatives like payday lenders, which end up charging even higher fees."

"What is most exciting about Penn is that it feels like a community where those sorts of relationships are organically developed."

"Every analysis of increased tariffs, both those we have published at The Budget Lab and from others, finds the same thing: tariffs make Americans poorer. American consumers pay the cost of tariffs in the form of higher prices."

"The parts of law school that I loved most were the relationships I had with my classmates and the relationships I had with faculty, many of whom are my mentors and advisors that I still look up to tremendously in my own career. I’m really excited about being that kind of person, I hope, to this next generation of law students."

"And all this gets to the question that I have really struggled with — and still can’t quite answer for you now: What exactly are the tariffs for? What is the point of the tariffs? How do we measure success for this new ordering of global trade?"

"You have this regulatory intervention that may have been well-intentioned to help consumers, but overall consumers are actually being hurt."

"Tackling waste, fraud, and abuse would mean going to the agencies that administer spending themselves — not the BFS."

"I became really interested in how the law functions as this underpinning of our society and codifies the ways we interact with each other in ways that we don't even really think about."

"No one wants to see a child stay in foster care one minute longer than is absolutely necessary to ensure her safety."

"My view has been since the moment I decided to apply for this position, I'm going to be who I am."

"In every forum and nearly every case, children are impacted. They are impacted when their parents cannot parent due to drug and alcohol issues landing them in court, they are impacted when their needs were not met as children and they become involved in the juvenile justice system."

"Despite the efforts of many tribal judges and the good intentions of state courts, we find ourselves continually justifYing our existence and our skill sets."

"There is no doubt in my mind and in my experience that the therapeutic approach benefits the individual, and therefore the community, far more."

"All children deserve stability and most agree that a child in foster care lacks stability."

"Every day there is something that makes me reflect that this is a historical appointment that is meaningful to other people."

"I don't know that there's ever been a drum group or those sounds in that building. But there are now, and I wanted to make a public statement that we're here — and that I belong there."

"It is, however, enormously difficult to provide court and social services to these children and families when funding is minimal at best or non-existent at worst."

"I know that and can address those issues in a systematic way, recognizing that these families are complex systems and that the parents come to the court not solely borne out oftheir own difficulties and bad choices, but also out ofthe pattern of abuse and neglect that has been part oftheir family for generations."

"If Gov. [Jay] Inslee or the public doesn't embrace that, that's OK, but I can't pretend to be someone other than who I am."

"“I was raised to remember that I come from those who survived.”"

"“From both sides of my family, [there is] a very heavy emphasis on the importance of education, which is something that has really been the key to my ability to do what I’ve done … To take my education seriously, and to be able to go to college and beyond that has absolutely been foundational to my success.”"

"I've had people say, ‘You don't look like a judge,’ and they've said that in lots of different ways. [But] I do look like a Supreme Court justice, because I am one."
