I have to preface my remarks with my deep respect for the senior Senator from Iowa. I respect him not just because he slays it on Twitter, but I respect him because of his heart, because we have a great working relationship, and because we…

The Senator may proceed. I have nothing else to say. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa. Russia

I got into politics because, as a city councilman in a neighborhood I still live in, low-income Black and Brown community, and I was appalled at the banking industry.

I agree with so much of what is being said on both sides of the aisle about the concerns and the worries and about the urgent need for a clear regulatory framework.

The lack of government's ability to move at the speed of technology undermines the ability for Americans to apply this technology.

I have deep and tremendous respect for my friend from South Carolina. I am not a Senator from the South, but my family hails from the South, from Monroe, LA, to Alabama, to North Carolina. I know my roots, and I know the challenges of Jim…

We need to actually change the filibuster to preserve the right to vote in America.

I think we need to empower to the best extent possible the unarmed political class including civil society in modern Chad.

I look at the Horn of Africa, for example, and the challenges we are facing with a lot of African countries because of the steps the ICC has taken.

your experience, your work in public service, your expertise, and your nationally recognized stature on these issues gives me great excitement about the difference you are going to make in a very important job that can, literally, save…

I think it is time to put seats around the table for the unarmed political actors and to prioritize them.
