This investment in the Rescue Plan of $12.7 billion dollars was a good first step, but we need to do more.

I am committed to expanding access to home and community-based services.

That is why I led 40 Democratic Senators in introducing the Better Care Better Jobs Act last year.

I thank Representative Kaptur for all she does for Ukraine. Mr. Speaker, I stand here not only as the co-chair of Ukraine Caucus, but also the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Europe, Energy, the Environment, and Cyber; and a…

The transatlantic relationships between the United States and European democracies are some of our most important. It is important we work together, try to understand each other, and communicate--not only on a political but on a personal…
