Quote of the Day
“It didn't take me long to sue Donald Trump, because it didn't take Donald Trump but a few days or a few weeks to do something illegal or unconstitutional," Healey said, "and that's where we've been, and that's why you see the 36 lawsuits.”
Responding to criticism from Republican challenger Jay McMahon for her lawsuits against President Trump.
