Ultimately, Mr. Chairman, extreme MAGA Republicans are the biggest threat to our national and economic security...

We cannot allow the Houthis to disrupt global trade.

let me join the comments of the Independent Democratic Senator from Maine and the kind words for his colleague because what she said in a brief period of time is so important at this moment of debate. I note with pride that of the top…

Joe Biden, I think can be pretty funny. And I think it's -- it's, you know, talk about it, be serious, be a serious man which he is. But I think fine times to joke about it. And then obviously pivot back to the fact that his opponent is…

I think it is the way to handle it. I think they need to -- look, this isn't something that is going to go out of the minds of voters. It's not like if you talk about something else, people are going to forget that he's advanced age.

I would like to ask the Senator through the Chair again: In this circumstance, we have seen the revival, in my estimation, of an alliance which was so important 50 or 60 years ago and now is critical, and that is the NATO alliance. We have…

My last question, of course, relates to the aftermath if we abandon Ukraine. I have a special connection and affection for the Baltic nations as well as Poland, which is so ably represented in the State of Illinois and city of Chicago. We…

after I complete my remarks, the following is going to be the schedule of speakers on the floor before the rollcall vote. It is a bipartisan agreement. I ask unanimous consent that following my remarks, the following Senators be permitted…

I listened to the statements that were made this afternoon on the floor of the Senate, and there were some omissions of fact which need to be reminded to the people who are following. It was 4 months ago when we faced a deadline to come up…

I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: S. 3757 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of…
