This has been a national security nightmare for the United States. We’ve been helping the Saudis bomb Yemen for about six years, 100,000 kids have died of starvation and disease.

Russia should let him go and we should take action if they don’t. That could include sanctions.

I will look forward to, working with you on ways that we can allow the Federal Government to be a facilitator of those conversations.

I have legislation that would set up a Federal grant to support voluntary school integration programs.

I am a believer in assessments. I think it is really hard to figure out how to target resources if you don't know how your kids are performing.

I am a believer that the Federal Government should move more quickly to try to reduce the school-to-prison pipeline.

Most important, he will be an advocate for students--students at every level, including students who are drowning in student debt.

He will be an advocate for teachers, who are stressed and strained during this time as never before.

He is a proven leader. He knows how to listen.

I hope you will take a hard look at re-implementing all or part of that Obama year executive order.

He will be an advocate for disadvantaged students, who are in danger of being left behind in this pandemic.

I have a request for one committee to meet during today's session of the Senate. It has the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following committee…

These are all really important announcements because one, it removes the United States from our current status of complicity in these war crimes.

I think in the Senate Republican caucus, I think that they are sort of nearing meltdown, right? I think they know that the direction of their party is unsustainable.

This is our chance, right? We've been given a mandate.

We're fighting over whether we all believe in democracy any longer.

One of the two parties is radicalizing against democracy in front of our eyes

It is unworkable, I think, on its present terms.

I think everybody who knows anything about this conflict understands that there will have to be some transition away from President Hadi in order to gain a peace deal.

I think many of them are considering voting to convict the president.

If we just skip the accountability phase for what Donald Trump did, then I`m not sure why future presidents wouldn`t engage in the same of action.

But just like was the case a year ago, that doesn't obviate the United States Senate of its responsibility to have a trial.

When a party decides to make winning more important than the preservation of fair elections, that's when the whole democratic experiment starts to, you know, go down the toilet.

Republicans have decided -- not all Republicans, but far too many have decided that if democracy can't keep Trump in power, then democracy ceases to have any real purpose.

The threat is still very real to American democracy.
