In the 4\1/2\ months since 17 people were killed in a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, there have been 15 shootings at schools and colleges around the country. In the absence of congressional…

The gentleman from Idaho makes a compelling case for a new Federal judgeship. I commend him for that argument.

This is the way we show humanity to those who are fleeing persecution and violence, and it is abhorrent.

The fact is there are felony cases that are not being heard right now by our Federal judges because those cases are being pushed down the docket so we can hear these misdemeanor cases instead.

This policy is now forcing Federal judges to prioritize and divert finite resources and time to misdemeanor first-time border crossing cases.

The recent truce had some promise. But now the Taliban has resumed attacks.

A military solution is becoming more and more unlikely as violence continues to wage.

If the Taliban are unprepared and unwilling to make peace, we have made it very clear that we will deny them a military victory.

Dialogue with them is also an incredibly dangerous endeavor, I think.

The work that you do has never been more important than it is today and, Mr. Wollack, I would join my colleagues in thanking you for your dedication to promoting democracy and rule of law.

We need to continue to do that and I would note that the same thing applies to standing up for our own democracy here at home.

You have already had a chance to speak to this and you and I have had many conversations over the years about Bob Levinson, the longest held American hostage, and all the other Americans who are held in Iran.

On Iran, I want to just go back to the President's decision to withdraw from the JCPOA...

I just wanted to confirm that you share the view of the intelligence community and the conclusion that they reached in January 2017.

Does keeping this woman in prison until she is 65 do anything to help her?

Addiction is cruel, ruthless, and unforgiving.

Florida was the epicenter of the explosion of opioid abuse over a decade ago.

the most important thing for us to do to stand up to Iran's malign behavior is to retain American leadership

The rise of these synthetic opioids requires that we meet this challenge on its own terms.

if the President chooses to walk away from the Iran deal--a deal that I opposed but have repeatedly said needs to be strictly enforced--the President walks away, we abdicate American leadership in all of the areas where Iran poses an…

Many of my colleagues are trying to turn this into a partisan fight. People of good faith can disagree. Honestly, they should stop.
