The Saudi government's denial of basic rights to women is not only wrong, it hurts Saudi Arabia's economic development, modernization and prosperity.

The job is never done and every generation has to fight again.

I believe in truth-telling. So let's call it what it is. It's very troubling to see people like Bannon who make anti-Semitic remarks, who has a very checkered past be sitting next to the president of the United States. It puts an absolute responsibility on all of us to call it the way we see it and not use expressions like "alt-right."

I'm not leaving the fight just because I decided not to run. I'm going to expand my political action committee and volunteer for it. I'm going to do lots of other things where I will have a voice. So I'm not leaving the fight.

Let me tell you, life is interesting regardless of when you are in the fight.

I don't know how long I'm going to live, but I hope my seeds are pretty good.

I'm hopeful that the energy efficiency and public buildings bill will have their endorsement.
