We have a sense of what a gold standard is here, and we passed a resolution making sure that there are no enrichment or reprocessing abilities for the Saudis.

Following National Security Advisor John Bolton's meeting with his Russian counterpart in Geneva at the end of August, he stated that the administration was the very early stages of a review regarding the pros and cons of extending the…

let me express my thanks in return to Chairman Daines for being such a fantastic guide and a fantastic partner on this subcommittee budget. I am excited to bring this to my colleagues this morning. I will note that he took over midstream…

the President has talked down NATO and diminished NATO.

you ought to be spending more on defense and doing all these other things not as a favor to us but as a favor to yourselves.

maybe one of the most memorable moments from Secretary DeVos's confirmation hearing was her response to a question I posed to her. I thought I was giving her a softball. I thought I was giving her a very easy question at the end of my 5…

I am about to speak on an amendment to the underlying appropriations bill. My amendment is No. 4004. Before I do, I ask unanimous consent that the following Senators be added as cosponsors to amendment No. 4004. They are Senators Baldwin…

included in the underlying appropriations bill are funds to continue the U.S. support for the Saudi-led bombing campaign inside Yemen. I will speak about an amendment I have that would stop the U.S. support for this campaign pending a…

of course, I am disappointed by the chairman's objection, but I take his commitment to work on this issue to heart, and I look forward to doing that. I would like to speak for a moment about the amendment and the reason I was very hopeful…

Senator Boozman is here and is scheduled to speak before me. So I yield the floor to him and will speak after he is done. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arkansas.

So can you at least understand why we are concerned about the President raising questions about the utility of the United States defending Montenegro?

How do I know the difference between a presidential statement that is not a policy and a statement that is?

So your understanding is their commitment is upon our definition.

I understand you want to rewrite the Obama policy on Russia, but that is simply not true.

What is most important is that those two statements link, is that they have agreed to denuclearize according to our definition of denuclearization.

There is no inference. I mean, it is a statement from the President in which he says that the Russian interference in the U.S. election is a hoax from July 22nd.

What I am trying to suggest to you is that what the President says is U.S. policy because our allies and our adversaries make decisions based upon those comments.

The President is making up foreign policy on a day-by-day basis.

we are on the verge of the 1-year mark since the U.S. Senate attempted to take away healthcare from 30 million Americans and was told no by the American public. For virtually the entire time, since the passage of the Affordable Care Act…

in my lifetime, no American President has ever had a more disastrous overseas trip than the one that was just concluded by President Trump--5 days of disaster after disaster, insult after insult, capitulation after capitulation. Today…

I come to the floor to talk for just a few, quick moments about what the stakes are as we begin this debate over a new swing vote on the U.S. Supreme Court. This is a fairly simple chart listing off a number of preexisting conditions that…

2 weeks ago, Secretary Pompeo appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee, and I got the chance to ask him a simple question. I asked him whether it was still the position of the United States that Russia should not be allowed to…

Paul, I thank the House and your leadership for moving so many bills dealing with the opioid problem that are both life changing and life saving. It is rare that so much is done in this Chamber, that to think about the 60-plus thousand…

This is a very short inventory of President Trump's insults towards our allies and partners.

I would argue that it is getting worse. You have seen significant democratic backsliding in Poland, Hungary, Turkey, that has been cheerled by the Russians.
