Our strategy is maximum support for the Ukrainian patriots in their opposition to Russian military occupation and forces.

Time after time, the people of the Ukraine have said, we choose government by the people, not the Russian model of government by a dictator.

We should be transitioning to offshore wind, and we should be doing it in partnership and leading the world in this effort to end this addiction to oil.

I do agree. And the Green Party had always recognized the downsides of nuclear energy.

As long as there is a world market for oil, Russia will be able to sell it to them.

Our current system is absolutely chaotic.

I am asking for you and your team to take a very close look at this.

We are ready to invest a lot of money to be able to double stack containers.

Please make sure we do this right.

I'm hoping that the Senate will make sure that it stays in there in the final version of this legislation.

The future of women in China is at stake.

This is an occasion not only to celebrate the critical role women and girls play in families, communities, and societies across the globe but to also reflect on how those societies can better protect the fundamental human rights of women…

Thank you for entertaining these bills and these witnesses today.

My predecessor, Senator Mark Hatfield, who I had the pleasure of interning for way back in the 1970s, led the efforts in the Senate to restore the first of our tribes' sovereignty.
