I think the barrier here has been Netanyahu. And Netanyahu is only going to move if he thinks that his relationship with the United States is at risk.

It’s a black eye for the country. ... It should get them to the table.

Last year, I was privileged to lead a bipartisan delegation of 20 of our colleagues to Normandy, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the historic landing there, where American boys-- and they were boys, 17 and 18 years old--stormed the…

I am here to talk about a bill that is a matter of fundamental fairness to our veterans and most especially to our combat-injured veterans--a group that should evoke the sympathies and support of our Nation as no other. I am here to talk…

I respect the points that are being made by my friend from Mississippi. In fact, we share support for every one of those armed services measures that he had described, whether it is bolstering our nuclear force, providing for more drone…

I am honored to follow the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, particularly in his remarks on the Executive order that Donald Trump issued on Inauguration Day to declare a nonexistent energy emergency. And I join him in support of…
