Quote of the Day

“This moment is profound when we consider the fact that a former secretary of the interior [Alexander H. H. Stuart] once proclaimed his goal to, quote, ‘civilize or exterminate’ us. I’m a living testament to the failure of that horrific ideology. I also stand on the shoulders of my ancestors and all the people who have sacrificed so that I can be here.”—Rep. Deb Haaland (D) on being nominated to head the Interior Department.
