I come to the floor for the 28th consecutive week since the Senate has been in session to once again discuss the war in Ukraine and why it is so important that all of us-- the United States and our allies--stand up for Ukraine at this…

I really appreciate you holding this hearing, you and Senator Risch, and your vigilance in ensuring that we can put the squeeze on Russia.

We have got to get back to a system where we are serving the people, and that means agreeing on that objective.
