The wound will heal but the scar will always be there. My daughter’s generation will always bear the burden of a national government that did nothing to protect them. The Senate needs to act. There’s nobody else to act.

On Monday, March 15, due to a snowstorm in Denver, I was unable to travel to Washington in time for the vote to confirm Deb Haaland to serve as Secretary of Interior. Had I been present, I would have voted to confirm her to serve in this…

What a sacrifice of their right to be free from fear. Who are we to insist that they live terrified in their own country? Nobody insisted that we live that way. But our failure to act has helped create these conditions. And we can't wait…

My heart goes out to the families of the Coloradans, including a Boulder police officer, whose lives were tragically taken by a senseless act of gun violence. I am deeply grateful for the swift response from law enforcement and first…

I trust Ms. Tai's judgment, and I know the depth of her experience.

Katherine Tai's got a lot of fans on both sides of the Finance Committee, and I'm happy to support her nomination.

She'd be the first woman of color to serve as USTR.

I'm glad that President Biden is already taking a different tack, and he made a great choice for U.S. Trade Representative.

I should say the Chinese Communist Party--not the Chinese people, but the Chinese Government.

What they do not need is 'sympathy.' What they need is a coherent trade policy that is going to support their work.

President Trump had a go-it-alone approach--I think he was proud of it--launching trade wars around the world that alienated our allies and undermined effective global response to China.

Trade is really important to Colorado's agricultural economy... I am hoping that, in the years ahead, they will once again be able to compete fairly on the global stage.

I think this was a major step to protect patients who were often taken advantage of in their most vulnerable state.

I think that is going to be a powerful argument for the American people who, coming out of this pandemic, want more choices, not fewer.

I think we need to build on the Affordable Care Act and use the Medicare system to provide a true public option.

I have worked with my colleagues, Senators Murkowski and Barrasso and many others, on legislation to support our rural providers and public health.

How can we defend a system like that?

We look forward to working with you on all of that, I think.

I think really this moment is an opportunity to reintroduce our values to the rest of the world and do it, as you say, with a sense of optimism.

Affordable housing is often the gateway to opportunity.

I think you are running the most expeditious hearing in the history of the United States Senate.

I agree with everything that you just said.

I was thrilled that the Biden administration included in its next COVID package an expansion of the Child Tax Credit.

The Child Tax Credit is so important.

Incredibly the United States has one of the highest child poverty rates among our industrialized countries in the world.
