Why should the United States and U.K. be shouldering the burden of this?

There is no congressional authorization for these hostilities.

I am having a hard time understanding why this does not require a traditional congressional war authorization.

But she makes it. She makes it because you have chosen to price a drug at a point that is not affordable.

Why not take--why not--you put $8 billion into stock buybacks. Why not do $4 billion and instead take the rest of the money and bring the price of the drug down?

But explain to me how you justify that division of dividends and stock buybacks versus research development.

Can you understand--let me ask a different question, do you understand that one of my constituents in Connecticut would look at those numbers and think that you care more about padding the pockets of the folks that work for you and invest…

We believe that price caps are not the way that innovation is going to be fostered.

I am a big supporter of it.

To hold Ukraine hostage to unlocking that very difficult knot is dangerous for us and the world.

I do not understand the games that our Republican friends are playing with Ukraine aid. I think this is an existential moment.

The system is broken, and critically we are terribly underfunded and under-resourced, and this supplemental gets to that latter point.

If we do not act soon, the child care crisis is going to keep getting worse, and it will hurt our economy in the process.

The recent proposal that revived Trump's border wall, closed our doors on asylum seekers, and rewrote immigration laws is not going to go anywhere.

You cannot have an economy that works for working families without a strong child care system, and right now, our child care system is just plain broken.

I think it is important that we be absolutely clear the nature of this brutal terrorist attack.

There is a moral imperative to reduce civilian casualties, but there is also a strategic imperative.

I think the reason why many of us are so worried about splitting Ukraine aid and Israel aid is because there is an urgency.

Israel has not only the right but the obligation to defend itself and to try to take every possible step to make sure this does not happen again.

We have to bear the burden of doing everything we possibly can to ensure that civilians are not harmed and to care for those who need our help.

We do believe that we have to consider things like humanitarian pauses to make sure that assistance can get to those who need it.

No nation would tolerate it.

We will not let Hamas or Putin win.

Today's battles against aggression and terrorism will define global security for years to come.

The supplemental also requests $44.4 billion to help Ukraine continue to defend itself against Russia's ongoing aggression.
