The State Department must be the leader in our counter-ISIS strategy.

We need to lead with a solution to the problem, not just a military solution.

This amounts to war crimes, and we cannot be complicitous in covering up accountability for war crimes.

This stomach-churning report is a must-read for those in the Trump administration who want to move forward on counterterrorism cooperation with Russia against ISIL.

For each year since 1995, please provide information regarding the State of Oklahoma's environmental enforcement efforts...

That from my perspective, is unconstitutional, immoral, and un-American, that we're creating a suspect category of Muslims.

These regulations are a good example of how regulations can, in fact, comport with national security.

I will fight any efforts in Congress, whether by the CRA or otherwise, to roll back these pro-consumer rules.

The industry was not increasing fuel economy standards until those regulations were passed.

Vladimir Putin is teaching us a great lesson, but the same thing is true for American companies or foreign companies.

Preemptive attempts to kill Kim Jong-un, is there any time we should be able to talk about that?

Should we, in fact, be talking in terms of preemptive attacks against them?

However, at the time I also warned on the Senate floor that plans to use preemptive force against North Korea's nuclear arsenal or its leadership could drastically increase the risk of inadvertent nuclear war.

I believe that sanctions can offer a path for putting pressure on North Korea to return to negotiations aimed at denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.

I think that was an example of how secondary sanctions against China and potentially against Chinese banks can be effective in changing Chinese policy towards the DPRK.

I would just say in conclusion that after the Tsarnaev brothers attacked Boston on Memorial Day in 2013, the SBA stepped up to help all the small businesses in that area so that they could recover.

The fastest warming body of water in the world.

Climate change is real, it is happening.

I believe in the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.

We let Presidents go to war willy-nilly without much oversight at all.

Our negotiating strength at the U.N. depends on having our allies standing with this.

President-elect Trump gave an interview to European journalists in which he undermined that unity by yet again disparaging NATO as obsolete.

James Madison wrote that the executive branch is the branch of government most prone to war.

NATO is not only not obsolete, it is essential.

I do not think they ever conceived of an international body compelling the U.S. to go to war.
