Chris Murphy

He wants to show middle-class voters, that he is going to take the side of workers, not corporate America, every single time when there's a fight.

I don't think these polls necessarily predict what the election a year from now is going to be.

We cannot have a government shutdown this weekend, certainly not while we are facing these existential crises for our friends in Israel and Ukraine.

I hope that we find a path in the next 2 weeks to be able to get Ukraine the supplemental assistance it needs.

I am a big supporter of it.

I do not understand the games that our Republican friends are playing with Ukraine aid. I think this is an existential moment.

To hold Ukraine hostage to unlocking that very difficult knot is dangerous for us and the world.

One of the things my Republican colleagues have talked about in this hearing is adjustments to the asylum standard.

The recent proposal that revived Trump's border wall, closed our doors on asylum seekers, and rewrote immigration laws is not going to go anywhere.

You cannot have an economy that works for working families without a strong child care system, and right now, our child care system is just plain broken.

If we do not act soon, the child care crisis is going to keep getting worse, and it will hurt our economy in the process.

I think it is important that we be absolutely clear the nature of this brutal terrorist attack.

There is a moral imperative to reduce civilian casualties, but there is also a strategic imperative.

I think the reason why many of us are so worried about splitting Ukraine aid and Israel aid is because there is an urgency.

We will not let Hamas or Putin win.

I urge my colleagues on both sides to work with me on all of these urgent issues.

I have been heartened to see the President urge our allies in Israel not to fall subject to so many of the same mistakes we saw following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

America must stand strong by our allies. Dictators cannot be allowed to invade sovereign democracies.

We do believe that we have to consider things like humanitarian pauses to make sure that assistance can get to those who need it.

The supplemental also requests $44.4 billion to help Ukraine continue to defend itself against Russia's ongoing aggression.

We can stand with our allies around the world and tackle the challenges facing our families here at home at the same time.

We cannot lose sight of the needs of civilians whose lives have been upended by war and violence around them.

We have to bear the burden of doing everything we possibly can to ensure that civilians are not harmed and to care for those who need our help.

We are requesting $10.6 billion to help Israel defend itself.

No nation would tolerate that.
