I hope America does not accept the kind of language that Donald Trump is using to describe our fellow Americans.

We should make sure that nobody, no corporation, and no individual can get away without paying his fair share to support America.

I am all about new beginnings. A new grandchild, another new hairstyle, a new email account. Why not a new relationship with the press?

The facts are - I did say I hoped it [Trans-Pacific Partnership] would be a good deal, but when it was negotiated which I was not responsible for, I concluded it wasn't. I wrote about that in my book.

As a young lawyer, I learned to try to find common ground with people, to look for a human connection. When I got to the Senate, despite the fact that there were a lot of people who didn't want me to get there - and were sure they'd never even talk to me, let alone work with me - I really tried to do the job I was sent there to do by the people of New York, which was to get things done for my constituents. I worked with Republicans, and we found a lot of common ground. It isn't easy, but it's part of what we have to do in politics today.

I believe we have to take this step by step to try to reign in Iranian aggression, their support for terrorism and the other bad behavior that can come back and haunt us.

I am going to ensure that LGBTQ Americans have full equality under the law and address the urgent crisis of violence against transgender women of color.
