The EU-U.S. relationship is actually the backbone of the western alliance.

I think we need to have a recognition that military influence is the method of last resort for the Russians.

We are playing into their hands if our only response is a major plus-up on military support.

I do believe that the EU is in crisis, and I do believe that it is at risk of unraveling.

The European Union plays a critical role in the U.S. foreign policy agenda.

You know, we are comfortable with an uncomfortable relationship with you right now.

I believe that America has a vested interest in helping preserve this European Project.

Our response has to equally be a full-spectrum response.

The EU is far more complex and savvy.

What is exceptional about the United States is the way in which we have structured our market for drugs.

let me thank my friend from Ohio for his very constructive remarks on the success of CO-OPs. We have a CO-OP in Connecticut that has been providing very good quality care at very reasonable rates. It is part of what helps make our…

today I have come to the floor to speak very briefly about a resolution that the majority leader introduced, I believe, yesterday. This is an authorization for military force that apparently purports to give the President legal authority…

In the last 2 years alone, we went from 91 million Americans living in an area that was designated as a mental health shortage jurisdiction for outpatient services to 97 million Americans.

The legislation that Senators Murphy and Cassidy have worked on together would take some very important steps to better integrate mental and physical health care.
