before talking about some good news, I think, for so many of us across the country, I want to just thank Senator Murray for all of her leadership in the devastation she is describing in Washington State. I know that our Presiding Officer, with what is happening in Maui--the people of Hawaii are so fortunate to have you and Senator Hirono, who are out every day describing what needs to happen and pushing hard to make it happen. We have a lot of issues that are really important, a lot of devastation, a lot of extreme weather events; and we certainly understand that the climate crisis is adding to all of what we are seeing right now and the devastation. And it is critical--it is critical--that we keep focused on that.
