my colleague from Virginia was very persuasive, I think, in pointing out the threat to national security that providing Nvidia's chips to China presents. Unfortunately, another area that has the potential to significantly undermine our…

The fact is that 92 percent of people who get those enhanced premium tax credits are making $200,000 or less, and the average income for a person who receives those premium tax credits is $32,000 a year. That is not somebody in a higher…

I rise today to speak on International Human Rights Day, which marks the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. After the atrocities of World War II, world leaders understood that large-scale abuses do not begin…

I’m glad the president is reportedly considering a serious proposal.

They understand that the vast majority of people who benefit from these tax credits live in states the President won, and that the President’s own pollsters have underscored the enormous political urgency of Republicans acting.

History teaches us that Putin only understands strength and will not abide by any agreement unless it is backed by force.

However, we will not achieve that lasting peace by offering Putin concession after concession and fatally degrading Ukraine's ability to defend itself.

I will continue to object to what the president is doing in terms about tariffs and his comments because they are not only detrimental to Canada and our relationship, but I think they are detrimental globally.

This is a Russian proposal. …There is so much in that plan that is totally unacceptable.

For over 10 years, Russia has illegally occupied Ukrainian territory and for almost 4 years, Ukraine has admirably defended itself against Russia's attempts to fully occupy Ukraine. No one wants a just and lasting peace more than the…

why this sale is in the vital national interest of the United States.

Let's look at what we can get done in the timeframe we have, and recognize there is real urgency to get these premium tax credits extended.

So let's focus on what we can agree to.

We can work together, we can extend the credits, but we probably can't implement significant reforms that Sen. Cassidy was talking about in the time frame that we've got.

You look at our record, and you tell me what you've done to protect the healthcare of Americans, and it's not even close to what we've done.

nobody wants to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits more than me.

We need to put the shutdown behind us, end the circular firing squad, and remember why we're in this situation.

We need as a party to stay laser focused on health care and to remind voters who's really to blame for this mess that we're in, because it's not Democrats. It is Donald Trump, and it is Speaker Johnson – and the Republican majorities in…

So we need to look both in the short term and in the long term for how we address the cost of health care.

we ought to be able to agree on some changes, like capping the income of people who receive those premium tax credits.

I have criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio for paying $7.5 million to the government of Equatorial Guinea.

If the Republicans don't come to the table, if Donald Trump, who claims he can make a deal, is not willing to say to Speaker Johnson, 'you need to have a vote, you need to get something done,' then come next election, in the midterms, the…

That’s certainly an option, that I think everybody will consider.

I am also concerned about what protections are in place to ensure that third-country nationals removed to Equatorial Guinea are themselves not vulnerable to human trafficking, smuggling or human rights abuses.

Waiting another week, or another month, wouldn't deliver a better outcome.
