How to use safe in a sentence?

  1. John Cornyn:

    It is no coincidence that these shootings mostly happen at public schools or soft targets, and the shooters are usually male teenagers who attended those schools, can we succeed in making our schools a safe place for mothers and fathers to send their children and where they're confident that everything humanly possible is being done to protect them ?

  2. Christina Haack:

    It was built in 1929, which is old for Laguna, i mean, it's not falling down, but it's not far from falling down. There's no heating system, there's no air conditioning, half the wiring doesn't work, the plumbing is really bad, there's no insulation, there are multiple broken windows… so I've had to make some quick temporary changes to make sure it's safe for Hudson. But the bones of it are perfect. In fact, I don't want to change that at all. I just want to update the house in a really sympathetic way.

  3. Andrew Cuomo:

    It's quite simple: Don't do it, don't do it because we don't know if it's safe.

  4. Michael Wong:

    Now we’ll use textbooks more heavily because it’s more safe.

  5. Tim Ryan:

    Prematurely ending this policy without a path forward does nothing to keep Americans safe, support our Border Patrol agents, protect asylum-seekers, or bring about the comprehensive fix our immigration system needs.
