We can stand with our allies around the world and tackle the challenges facing our families here at home at the same time.
I urge my colleagues on both sides to work with me on all of these urgent issues.
Let us show them the strength of democracy by passing a robust, bipartisan national security package.
The Chinese Government is watching how we respond to Putin's aggression in Ukraine.
Every country has an obligation to protect innocent life and abide by international law, especially during times of conflict.
We cannot lose sight of the needs of civilians whose lives have been upended by war and violence.
We stand with Israel as it works to protect its people in the wake of the horrific Hamas attack.
I have been heartened to see the President urge our allies in Israel not to fall subject to so many of the same mistakes we saw following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Huge super majorities in the House and Senate favor more support for Ukraine.
America must stand strong by our allies. Dictators cannot be allowed to invade sovereign democracies.
It is closed now, which I think was a mistake, but it does seem, with the opening or the proposed opening of a site in Brazil, that you do see the efficacy of actually having some folks on site.
Again, I think it underscores the importance of the ultimate goal which is to break the United States and Europe free of dependence on oil and gas, period stop, because there seem to be no great choices in the region.
Listen, I--right, but our alternative is turning from dependence on one dictatorship to a different dictatorship and the question now becomes are we funding Azerbaijan's efforts to impose a brutal blockade on the Armenian people.
At this point I think you have to put all possible tools on the table because gentle diplomacy does not seem to be working.
This conflict has gone on way too long. U.S. leadership is needed desperately to end this humanitarian crisis.
We only embolden Aliyev. We give him a message that it is okay. That is the wrong message.
I would hate to see that this Administration stands by and allows ethnic cleansing to take place on their watch and under their eye.
I am proud of the funding that we have put forward, but it is dependent upon having a willing partner.
We have nearly a billion dollars in dedicated funding to help Homeland Security agencies work with the Mexican Government.
Judge Oliver has taken on a couple tasks that I think are really important you should know about.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Graham, Members of the Committee.
It's hard to be more committed to the State of Connecticut than Judge Oliver has been.
