If Saudi Arabia were to have the ability to do domestic enrichment, what would be the impact of that decision in the context of a normalization agreement on other allies in the region?

Is there not clearly a ripple effect in the region if we do not require the application of the gold standard in an agreement with Saudi Arabia?

It would be foolhardy in a nuclear age to abandon that prospect.

I think Secretary Blinken and President Biden and Senators Cardin and Risch through ratifying COFA, through spending time with Pacific Island leaders, have done is to show the respect to other sovereigns.

The North's unrelenting pursuit of nuclear weapons, the means to deliver them, and its unmitigated aggression toward South Korea and America should concern us all.

While we hope for diplomacy with North Korea to be successful, we must recognize that hope alone is not a course of action.

In my opinion, the textbook case for the power of alliances is the U.S.-South Korea Alliance--which will be 71 years strong this year.

This doesn't sound to me like he's going to get rid of his nuclear ambitions anytime soon.

There is a direct line between kids who are chronically out of school, and at-risk behaviors.

Since we passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act we have seen a stunning drop in gun crime in this country.

I am a believer that we should be in the business of helping give our students more access to diverse schools.

reserving the right to object, I agree with the Senator from North Carolina that our priority as a nation and as a Senate should be negotiating the release of the hostages that Hamas currently holds. But the surest way to guarantee that…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Good to see you all. Thank you all for your service.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Good to see you all. Thank you all for your service.

This piece of bipartisan legislation would have been the most transformative change to our broken immigration system.

If passed, this would have been the most significant, most serious reform of immigration law in 40 years.

immigrants do make our Nation stronger.

The fentanyl trade between the United States and Mexico is a circle.

It would have provided $20 billion in extra emergency funding to buy 50,000 detention beds, to hire 4,300 new asylum officers, 100 new immigration judges, 1,500 border patrol agents, 1,000 new deportation officers.

fentanyl is responsible for more than 200 deaths every single day, and is the number one cause of death for Americans ages 18 through 45

These articles are laughable on their face.

It is pretty stunning to me how this country and our allies fail to learn recent history lessons.

Do you know what did update and fix our broken laws? The Bipartisan Border Bill, negotiated by myself, Senator Lankford, Senator Sinema, with help from Senator McConnell and Senator Graham.

What makes me most angry about this impeachment is its attempt to personally impugn Secretary Mayorkas.
