I suspect you could sign--speaking for myself, you could sign me up as an enthusiastic funder of the most aggressive and searching inspection regime possible for the IAEA.

I joined Chairman Menendez and others in calling for a robust and aggressive and thorough inspections and verification regime.

I do not support a return of active U.S. combat troop presence in Iraq.

Your riveting description of the fall of Mosul suggests that a lack of urgency, a lack of reality, about the situation on the ground was outcome determinative.

I share the administration's ultimate goal of encouraging the creation of an inclusive Iraqi Government.

Thank you very much. Thank you, Chairman Whitehouse, and thank you, Senator Graham. You have both been great and engaged and effective leaders on this issue.

As Senator Whitehouse referenced, both of our States are blessed to have network warfare squadrons of the National Guard.

Is it acceptable, is it possible for us to deal with this threat with a Federal law enforcement response alone? Do we need a partnership from State and local law enforcement?

The resiliency of our country, our ability to respond to these threats... requires a sort of 'everybody engaged' response.

I share your concern that as we have transitioned to electronic medical records, we now have an online treasure trove of data for cyber criminals to go after?

I think the evidence is clear that the children who we are seeing, and who are being interdicted at our southern border at record numbers are fleeing dramatically increased levels of violence in three Central American countries--Guatemala…

I am pleased this requests additional badly needed resources for immigration judges, for an expansion of the legal orientation program, for counsel for minors.

Something important, something unusual, something worth noting happened this week, happened yesterday in this Chamber that I don't want to let pass without a few moments of comment. Yesterday a broad bipartisan majority of this Senate came…

Modernizing, strengthening, implementing, and updating the Voting Rights Act is absolutely essential for our Nation.

My view is that as a cosponsor of the Voting Rights Amendment Act, it does have a nationwide impact.

I do not see that as accurate, but could you help fill in some of those details?

Preclearance is still necessary.

The Supreme Court's decision in the Shelby case was very much focused on the idea that you could not mark certain States based on data that the Court thought was too old.

I come to the floor this afternoon because this week the Senate has a chance to take another crucial step away from the political cliffs and manufactured crises of previous years and to get back to the regular order--to get back to the…

I come to the floor of the Senate to speak about an issue that is of urgent concern to me and should be of urgent concern to all of us. That issue is global warming or climate change. This is a personal issue for me. As the father of…

I do share the administration's ultimate goal, stated goal, of reaching an agreement that denies Iran the ability to acquire nuclear weapons capability.

The Iranians have given us no reason to trust their intentions, and any final agreement in my view must dismantle Iran's enrichment infrastructure.

I think it violates basic human rights and some of our international agreements.

I have heard from the faith community, from advocates, that they continue to see significant impact on vulnerable families due to the policy.

I want to touch on a number of different issues: ag inspections at the border and at ports, cyber crime and its cost to the U.S., and a number of issues that relate to deportation practices.
