We need more leaders... who have the courage to take action, to stand up to the gun lobby, and to put the lives of our children first.

Putin’s aggression is not only an attack on the people of Ukraine, it is also an attack on fundamental principles such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.

I have been proud to stand with Ukraine. I will continue to stand with Ukraine. And I will work to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war.

History has shown us if we allow aggressors like Putin to take land with impunity, they keep going.

For as much as we have accomplished, more must be done.

The United States cannot and should not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Isolation is not insulation.

In candor, I share with you, Mr. President, there are some in my country who would instead force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory.

These ideals are central to who we are as Americans, and some of the most important moments in our history have come when we stood up to aggressors like Putin just as we must today.

We are hiring 14,000 new mental health counselors in public schools across our nation.

We must stand with our allies and our partners. We must defend our democratic values and stand up to aggressors.

When they are threatened anywhere, they are threatened everywhere.
