Notable quotes:

• “I’m going to release the email about racial profiling and I understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from the Senate.”
• “The history of our nation is defined by collective action; by interwoven destinies of slaves and abolitionists; of those born here and those who chose America as home; of those who took up arms to defend our country, and those who linked arms to challenge and change it.”
