I tend to believe Iran more than I do.
I believe that government can be a force for good in people's lives.
By the way, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this work.
At the same time, I've also seen how too many of these governmental institutions have failed too many people.
I think we have failed to deliver tangible results for people.
Corporal Timothy O'Connor.
O'Connor, who's killed tonight, doing what he's dedicated his life to, and that is serving others, keeping our community safe.
We've seen now that the president was acting outside his legal authority.
By the way, not a new thing for him as someone who's had to take him to court 19 times as governor.
The thing about the tariffs is he's doing it in a way that is hurting the American people, hurting our farmers, hurting consumers, hurting our small businesses.
You know, I write in the book about my time as Attorney General of Pennsylvania and standing up for victims and ensuring that we enforce the rule of law without fear or favor.
I write extensively about the work I did holding predator priests and other pedophiles accountable, from local coaches and pediatricians and teachers to, of course, hundreds of predator priests that abused thousands of children.
And in that experience, I got to know these victims, victims who for years, and there's a similar overlay with the Epstein case, for years went to the authorities and tried to get the authorities to believe them and listen to them, were turned away and thwarted by powerful people.
And then it's up to the attorney general.
It's up to the chief prosecutor to listen to their stories, to stand for victims, and to fight for them.
And what I continue to see out of the Trump administration are a group of people that are there trying to protect the president, who's named thousands, although I think Congressman Raskin recently said up to a million times in these documents.
and a whole bunch of other powerful people who were abusing young women and abusing the power that they had in life and i think it is important that we have prosecutors that stand with victims that hold the perpetrators accountable and i'm not seeing that coming out of dc right now right can you just imagine though you're sitting there you're in congress
I think if you're in these roles, you've got to stand with the victims.
You've got to stand up for the rule of law.
You've got to stand against the powerful who so oftentimes take advantage of the people.
