The risks of miscalculation will not only lead to another deadly attack against U.S. service members, it could lead to a full scale regional war.

The extent of the military infrastructure inside Yemen... is extensive, and they have shown... the ability to very quickly rebuild their capacity.

I am having a hard time understanding why this does not require a traditional congressional war authorization.

I consider myself in the camp of Senators who believe the U.S. involvement in another war in the Middle East would reflect that we learned virtually nothing over the last 25 years.

There is no congressional authorization for these hostilities.

This is the kind of thing that can lead us to slip or slide into a war, and that is why Congress needs to be engaged.

We need to place an imperative and a priority on bringing to close this round of hostilities.

I do agree that it is a very troubling and creative interpretation of Article II authority to extend protection to partners.

I support the actions that the Administration has taken because I believe that the United States is the guarantor of the freedom of navigation of international waters.

There needs to be--if we can get to a point where we can actually authorize U.S. participation we should not do it without other nations participating.

It is in my view laughable to call that self-defense.

If your plan is to destroy the rule of law and turn the Department of Justice into a political weapon that rewards loyalty and punishes dissent, then Kash Patel is the perfect person to lead the FBI.

I very much support this Biden administration's Retirement Security Rule, and encourage the Department of Labor to promptly finalize it.

he wants there to be a balance between regulation by the states, and regulation by the Department of Labor.

I think that is important to note that people should take a deep breath here, and just sort of recognize...

That is why, of course, we were very much alarmed when this committee voted to cut 80 billion out of funding to the IRS.

I mean, with that logic, the 1975 Five Part Rule really should be like repealed and eliminated.

I appreciate the fact that you say you do not want to repeal the 1975 law. I think that is very inconsistent.
