The Russians were obstructionist, as they always have been.

It is proof that this myth perpetuated on the country for 30 years, that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is good guys with a gun was a gun industry fiction created to sell more weapons.

I think gun violence and the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade on abortion rights, reproductive rights are factors in all of this, deep factors in all this as well, and Trump is paying attention to this.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to stop him from getting that gun.

If Republicans pass a federal abortion ban which Mitch McConnell says is possible if Republicans take control of Congress and the White House in 2024, that reproductive health care ship in federal waters will figuratively sink.

But that`s going to be in play, I think, because of the economy and inflation, that that is just going to be such a strong determinant of where voters land in all this.

The problem is, you know, remember in 2016, Trump effectively consolidated enough of the vote during the primary to keep everyone else running against him at bay.

What I also know is that the strength of this movement is really what moved the needle, 15 Republicans supporting this bill supporting a bill the significant would be unthinkable years ago.

Well, first and foremost, anytime an American dies overseas, we should apply the highest degree of scrutiny to make sure that we get to the bottom of the story.

My contention is that if the president is going to make this trip, if he is going to sit down across the table from Saudi leadership, he should get some significant concessions.

The Supreme Court ruling was very narrow. The concern is some of the language that accompanied that narrow ruling.

There is one county that accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of all of the Red Flag Laws ordered in the State. That means that it's an ineffective program.

Human trafficking remains a horrific reality for tens of millions of people around the world.

They see how the country is run, and I think that, as I said, that investment in people who have the opportunities to be credible journalists, to provide strong accountability to government institutions, I mean, these are all the things…

The Administration's decision to lift restrictions on the sale of U.S. military equipment to Cyprus as authorized in the Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Law that I authored was welcome news.

The Peace Corps represents one of the United States' greatest foreign policy and diplomacy tools, helping those in need around the world.

Russia thrives in neighboring countries with weak rule of law.

So, this is a big deal.

The gun lobby had been incredibly effective for 30 years in stopping the passage of a federal prohibition on trafficking.

What we know is that in communities that have more guns, there’s more gun violence.

For the first time, we now have federal crimes that prosecutors can use and threaten to use to unwind these trafficking rings.

This bill in and of itself saves a whole bunch of lives between red flags and taking guns away from domestic abusers and new tools to stop gun trafficking.

I think Republicans are going to see that there are a lot of folks who sign up for their cause in the wake of this who might have stayed on the sidelines.

I don`t think it matters. And that`s shocking, right, because again, for 30 years in Washington, the NRA got everything they wanted.

I think we`re going to get this done and get it over to the House and sign the most important anti-gun violence bill in 30 years. That`s a big deal.
