I want to congratulate you on some recent good news with respect to an agreement between Greece and Macedonia, which hopefully paves the way for Macedonia to join some of the most important European and transatlantic institutions.

It still does not sound to me like a strategy about how you get the Europeans into a fundamentally different place than they are today.

I do not think that there is a lot of evidence that Russia's bad behavior is getting better.

Why is the President weighing in on the political circumstances of the Chancellor?

The Europeans today are not interested in reimposing new nuclear sanctions on Iran.

Merkel, in particular, are trying to hold this deal together.

I'm reintroducing the HALOS Act because the most important thing we can do to help local entrepreneurs is knock down road blocks and make it easier for angel investors to put capital behind them.

I do think it is a convenient conceit to suggest that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was a consequence of a set of American policies from 2008 to 2013.

It certainly sounds, when you say that Germany is turning against Angela Merkel, that you are trying to undermine the Chancellor.

Listen, it is no secret, I think that our strategy with respect to Europe is a, just, total debacle.

I simply do not understand because as I read the challenges presented to the United States, I get that there are certainly conventional military challenges that are different today than might have existed 10 years ago.

Are you concerned about the humanitarian consequences?

So what have you recommended to the White House regarding the U.S. position on the assault on Hodeidah? And would you recommend that the UAE halt its operations--this is primarily a UAE operation--to give negotiations a chance?

Well, you cannot respect the work of the special envoy in the middle of an assault on Hodeidah.

I think it is unfair for you to leave this committee or the Congress with the impression that this is about balancing domestic needs with international leadership because it is not that we are spending less money globally, it is that the…

I am here to join Senator Daines in recommending the Legislative appropriations bill to our colleagues. I note his history lesson--10 years since we passed a Legislative Branch appropriations bill on the floor of the Senate. During none of…

I think one of our frustrations in this Administration is that there is often an attempt to try to find a solution for a problem that does not exist.

Similarly, I worry that we are creating an impression that these hospitals are providing less uncompensated care, less charity care when they are, in fact, providing much more charity care.

I come to the floor to mark a very unfortunate date. We are recognizing the 2-year anniversary of the shooting at Pulse nightclub on June 12, and on Sunday, June 17, we are going to mark the 3-year anniversary of the shooting at a church…

we have begun the period of time in the year when insurance companies start to declare what their intention is with regard to rate increases, and the news is not good for American healthcare consumers. I am going to be joined on the floor…

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Healthcare

We should have a Federal civil rights law. All students should be protected by that under the same standard.

I would argue that if you look at the evidence, it will not point you in the direction of arming teachers.

I think it is incumbent on us to ensure that those students have a safe and secure environment to attend school, to learn, and I maintain that.

So, why were we not successful in convincing them to refrain from an assault on Hudaydah?
