I think that clearly some pretty collaborative multi-stakeholder dialog is really needed here.

There is just no good reason we are still waiting for FDA to implement that step.

Business as usual is not good enough.

It should be unthinkable that we would fail to learn the lessons of this pandemic.

We need to fight skyrocketing health care costs with every tool in our arsenal.

It is not enough for us to just trust the core any longer and self enforced a secret, internal code of ethics. The highest court in the land cannot be exempt from the standards we hold every other federal judge to.

A strange thing is going to happen when Judge Jackson finally takes her seat on the Supreme Court. She will, after all this review and scrutiny, become effectively immune from ethics standards.

Judge Jackson has answered hours of questions about her judicial philosophy, why she made certain decisions, why she represented certain clients, how her background has shaped her world view, every detail of her professional and personal…

Well, that is the essence of NATO, right? NATO is a mutual defense treaty, in which we pledge, to those who are part of that alliance, that all the members will come to their defense if they are attacked.

Zelenskyy knows how to use the media. There is nothing more important in the early days of a war than using mass media in order to win the propaganda battle.

It`s certainly a hard pill to swallow, the idea that as Russia is retreating from Kyiv, that Ukraine would grant them territorial control over one inch of Ukrainian land.

I think the United States should be careful to dictate the terms of a peace agreement, to President Zelenskyy. President Zelenskyy has been incredible in his leadership throughout the first four weeks of this war.

Not coincidental that this announcement comes a day after the Ukrainians' new offensive likely achieved its biggest victory, the recapture of the key Kyiv suburb of Irpin. The Russians were potentially on the verge of a series of routes.

I think it is important to put it in that broader economic context.

When I am in Connecticut, especially as a parent of two school aged kids myself, I know that nothing causes parents to tear their hair out more than dealing with the increasingly unaffordable cost of childcare and the relative…

Paid National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC) accreditation fees to help providers maintain quality

I thought it would have been a mistake to just send kids back to summer school last year.

Vladimir Putin is in a very dangerous corner right now. He no longer believes that he can take Kyiv through a conventional military invasion. He is going to move towards a genocidal strategy in which he attacks and kills as many Ukrainian…

That might not have come from Senator Sasse's mouth, but there were others at that press conference--right?--who have repeatedly blamed this entire crisis not on Vladimir Putin but on Joe Biden's policies. And I do think it is convenient…

Reclaiming my time. Listen, I understand that Republicans would love for this inconvenient truth not to be pointed out for them-- right?--the fact that they are eviscerating the President at press conferences for the crisis in Ukraine…

The point is that the only way that this place passes legislation is compromise, is voting on pieces of legislation that have in it things that----

Sure, I would be happy to yield. Senator Sasse, I was going to try to respond to your critique, but I am happy to yield at this point.

We allowed Russia to become so powerful based upon one principal source of revenue. And that is their oil and gas.

When democracy is under threat like this in an unprecedented way, when civilians are being murdered by the hundreds and thousands, we`re -- we have the ability to come together and even for a country like Russia, which had integrated…

But this president, President Biden, is playing a pretty strong hand right now. And I think that that has caused the Chinese to sort of step back and do an assessment of whether this is in their best interest, stay allied with Russia on…
