let me first thank my friend Senator Schatz for his incredibly kind remarks. He is an outstanding colleague. We work together extremely well. He brings a good cop ``aloha'' sensibility to a conversation, whereas I tend to lean more toward…

My question is the propriety and the damage you are doing to a three-year-old child, to ask them to make that decision, to pick a parent.

Asking a three-year-old child to choose between their parents, not knowing if they will ever see one again, is unconscionable and traumatic to a child.

I would remind them that we have appropriated an additional $4.5 billion to address this crisis on the border.

may I propose to my wonderful colleague, the Senator from Massachusetts, that the Good Lord forbid that I have to get to 500 such speeches before we solve this problem.

What kind of message does that send to diplomats who serve our country in dangerous places around the world?

Since September 11th, more Americans have been killed in the United States by a white nationalist terrorist than by radical Jihadist terrorists.

As Congressman Malinowski well knows, it is the principal organ within the U.S. Government that monitors and advocates for the promotion of human rights around the world.

The President's efforts to curtail the special counsel investigation.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. H.R. 3311, the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019, is legislation that I introduced with the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Cline), to make a series of reforms to current bankruptcy law…

Respect for human rights and counterterrorism go hand-in-hand.
