[Young people] can't do much with [student debt] other than try to figure out how to pay it down. They can't take jobs they want. They can't get the credit they would like to start a business. So we're going to refinance it, we're going move people into income-contingent repayment plans, we're going to have a date certain when their obligations end, and I'm not going to let the government harass kids.

I try to counter what Donald Trump says that might have an effect on somebody.

They [parents] can resist the impulse to "prove" their love by showering children with things they do not need and give them precisous time and attention instead.

I used to sit on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue and wonder why the Senate was always going into recess, until in my first year I realized how intense the pressure was.

I don't have any comment on who the people of Russia choose to be their leaders.

Using that kind of scare rhetoric is just terribly unfortunate. You [Donald Trump] should meet with some of the women that I have met with, women I have known over the course of my life. This is one of the worst possible choices that any woman and her family has to make.

The USA won't be competitive or fair if we don't help more families give their kids the best possible start in life.
