It still claims tens of thousands of Americans each year. And I think it is important for us to ban all of it.

One of the few constants to the conflict has been the Assad regime's barbarous treatment of fellow Syrians with the active support and participation of Russia and Iran

After 11 years of conflict, Syria remains as far as ever from a durable solution to the conflict that will allow Syrians to live in peace and dignity.

We obviously want to eliminate the scourge of chemical weapons, which is all the more important given the threat that Russia could use chemical weapons in its illegal war in Ukraine.

The Assad regime repeatedly broke the century-old taboo against the use of chemical weapons.

The numbers give a grim accounting of the suffering unleashed on Syrians by the regime that would claim to govern them: over half a million killed, nearly 7 million internally displaced, 6.6 million registered as refugees around the world

I think we have to put special emphasis on it, given what the implications are for Ukraine.

So no deal policies have not only failed to tighten the lid on Iran's nuclear program, it lifted them entirely.

For me, it is a cut and dried case of why a deal, while imperfect, is far superior to no deal.

If we hope to avoid Iran from becoming another North Korea--a point of no return--we have to get back into the deal without delay.

President Trump blew up the Iran nuclear deal and then left a minefield to make it difficult for any successor to cleanly reenter, but President Biden knows that the alternative to diplomacy is far worse.

We just have to really lift our gaze to the constellation of possibilities technologically for us to move, to act, and to capture this incredible economic opportunity.

With the first 16 million all-electric vehicles deployed in the United States we back out the equivalent of all the Russian oil.

Again, I worked hard against it in 2015, when unfortunately we lifted the ban on the export of American oil.

Senator Ed Markey has a bill that would address this problem in the simplest and most-tailored way possible.

We have to do Ukraine, but we have to do vaccines as well.

We are on the front line now helping Ukraine to beat back authoritarian incursion into their country and to Europe, but we are not still not on the front line in terms of providing aid for the vaccination of people around the world with…

Can we talk a little bit about climate change and the Indo-Pacific area I have been able to include in the COMPETES Act?

They need a seat at the table in order to make sure the government gets this right.

We need carbon capture for the very simple reason that we are going to miss the 1.5 degree safety threshold.

That is great. Thank you. It is just so important, thank you for your great work on this issue.

We could knock a dollar of the price of gasoline tomorrow, if President Biden had the authority to, and they would still make money.

And you are making disadvantaged communities can have their voices heard?

I applaud the CEQ's new final phase one rule to restore the potential of the NEPA process to protect human health and the environment.

The sooner you can engage the conflicting uses, the better.
