Putin's forces continue to fire missiles at innocent Ukrainians, his generals continue to bombard cities, and his soldiers are committing war crimes.

I feel confident when I say both the ranking member and I believe carefully considering new candidates for NATO expansion is one of the most important responsibilities this committee has.

NATO is a defensive military alliance designed to preserve, in part, by holding members to high democratic governance and economic transparency standards.

the overwhelming majority of Europe, and, indeed, of the entire free world are now more united in support of not just Ukraine, but of our collective resolve to support democracies, the rule of law, and defend against brazen authoritarian…

They have every reason to participate in collective defense against Russian aggression, and NATO has every reason to embrace and welcome them into the Alliance without delay.

He also grossly miscalculated how the rest of the world would respond to his brutal, unprovoked aggression.

democratic processes in both countries have shown that the Finnish and Swedish people themselves are strongly supportive of joining NATO.

in reserving the right to object, for all of the reasons that Senator Booker just mentioned and with an equal commitment to Senator Paul to work with Senator Klobuchar and Senator Cruz, who are working on a bill to protect Members and who…

I come to the floor once again today to seek unanimous consent for the passage of the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2021. I say ``once again'' because a little over a month ago, I came to the floor seeking unanimous…

I literally turned to my staff and asked: Has Senator Paul's staff reached out to us at all? That is not the case. Then, to characterize us as the opposition, we are not in opposition to this bill. We are trying to protect Federal judges…

From New Jersey, I thank Chairman Scott for the time and all he has been doing with his committee to put this excellent bill together. Today, once again, in my opinion, the House is taking action to fight high gas prices and protect…
