just in response to the Senator, we have never had an ``all of the above'' strategy, truly. We have had an ``oil above all'' strategy. That is the problem that we have. That is the hole that we have dug for ourselves. It is time for the…

I rise today to decry yet again Putin's horrific actions against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. As we bear witness to this deadly war and the consequences of this fossil fuel-funded invasion, I stand here again to denounce our own…
