We just had to keep stressing how important it is to come together and fix something that simply should never have been put in place beforehand and makes eminent common sense.
This is a triumph of common sense in Washington which we all like to have those stories from time to time.
It makes no sense. And yet it put this incredible financial burden on the Postal Service and it needed to be fixed.
It is clear that in the immediate days and weeks after the disclosure of the Log4shell, the cybersecurity ecosystem certainly went into high gear to identify the scope of this risk and to quickly remediate it.

Your appointment and, I hope, expedient confirmation, along with the return of American diplomats, sends a powerful message to the world--we stand with Ukraine and the free world will not abandon those fighting to protect it.
I thank Senator Klobuchar. One year ago today, a shocking, violent, and unthinkable attack on the U.S. Capitol shook the very foundations of our democracy. I was here, in this Chamber, as we were conducting the ceremonial certification of…
