What sense does that make, right?

I support his legislation.

But, you know, welcome to Washington, where, because of the arcane rules of the Senate, there is a dictatorship of the minority.

The report takes countless hours to research, write, fact-check, and publish.

I look forward to today's witnesses helping the Commission better understand the costs to communities of these policies as we work with Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians, and others to protect their cultures from destruction.

I will never, ever, ever forget it.

We need the U.S. Government to push for accountability also at the UN.

We need the U.S. Government to do that. That is the beginning. That's where we start.
