Former senators
We owe the fights for justice and equality to those who have organized, marched, spoken out, and refused to back down.
Today, we reflect not only on what happened in our nation’s past, but what we must recommit ourselves to in the future.
The best we can do now is end this war as soon as possible by approving Trump’s pitiful MoU.
Trump is not a deal maker—he is a deal breaker.
Trump’s MoU is not a deal, it’s a $300 billion bribe.
Now, Trump has replaced the 2018 Iran deal with a Memorandum of Understanding that caves to Iran’s demands.
The United States had a nuclear deal with Iran in 2015, and it was working. President Trump abandoned it in 2018 for no good reason.
No practical barrier prevents the President from next appointing a Democrat to the SEC.
So that’s a problem not only for the people of Guam, but also for national security because of its strategic importance.
So, the security of that grid, you mentioned cyber, but also just the vulnerability to some kind of attack, is a very important issue. Not only for the people Guam but for our national security.
Do the extensive U.S. National security facilities on Guam depend on the local grid, or do they have their own energy sources?
World Refugee Day is a reminder that behind every displacement statistic is a human story—a family seeking security, a parent seeking a future for their children, or an individual searching for freedom and dignity. Supporting refugees is…
We are spotlighting the skilled trades and career-connected education.
It’s tough to say that that the agreement is one that leaves Iran in a worse place, and the United States in a better place.
I think it looks worse than the Obama deal right now.
I think some of our allies need to step up and join us because that enforcement mechanism is going be key, I believe, to getting the kind of outcome that we want.
From the beginning I said the key is going to be enforcement.
I am deeply concerned that we are giving Iran the benefit of hundreds of billions of dollars that can be spent on Hezbollah and other maligned proxies, as well as rebuilding its nuclear program.
They represent the only feasible path to reconstruction, economic recovery, and ending recurrent cycles of violence.
If I'm ultimately asked by the administration to judge it on the basis of the 14 points that we know, then it will not be a good assessment.
I would encourage them to continue to take the fight to Hezbollah, because, unfortunately, now Iran is going to have hundreds of millions of dollars to support its terrorist proxies, including Hezbollah.
Any senior official who was responsible for those decisions, who doesn’t very openly and plainly acknowledge how wrong they were … then you should not have a role in any future Democratic administration.
