  • Karine Jean-Pierre
    Karine Jean-Pierre “Americans have the right to peacefully protest. Forcibly taking over a building is not peaceful.” 3 hours ago
  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 3 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 3 hours ago
  • Eric Adams
    Eric Adams “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There's no place for acts of hate in our city. I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 11 hours ago
  • Sergei Shoigu
    Sergei Shoigu “To maintain the required pace of the offensive … it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of weapons and military equipment supplied to the troops, primarily weapons.” 12 hours ago

“I cannot represent the whole democratic camp. The definition of 'democracy' is wide, but I can say I'm a firm democrat, an independent democrat. I understand that politicians face huge pressure. Some have left Hong Kong, some are in exile, some in jail, but I have stayed. And I think we cannot just lay down and do nothing. We cannot surrender. So if there is a chance, I will move forward. The space for the pro-democratic camp has undoubtedly narrowed. The path is steep. But I still have hope, because that's the only way. There is no next step if we do nothing. Yes, we do not have veto power now, but at least we can have the right to access information if I get into Legco. I do not know how much I can do in Legco, but I know that if we miss the chance to have a voice, we are all heading for a dead end.”
