The United States must recognize that Russia is now the main power broker in Syria.

The lack of a clear U.S. strategy and diplomatic engagement in the region has created a vacuum

I would disagree with him strongly about the conclusions that he has reached.

I do not think they can really project power, but it certainly helps their surveillance.

I believe Russia desires to know a lot about our sources and methods that we have spent decades developing.

It seems ridiculously low and, perhaps, punitive.

The chairman is committed to ensuring that we get the materials we need to do our work.

The report as it is damning and very concerning and presents evidence of very serious misconduct, obviously.

This is not a redo. This is the beginning of our work and our responsibilities to conduct congressional oversight.

This is an investigation which resulted in a 400-and-some-odd page report presented to our committee that first of all establishes a sweeping and systematic attack on our democracy by a foreign adversary, the Russian government, and then…

The American people have a right to hear from him as does the committee.

These challenges present an urgent responsibility to repair and rebuild our roads, bridges, ports, and transit systems in order to create jobs, invest in local economies, and enhance the safety of our citizens.

I look forward to a bold and forward-thinking transportation and infrastructure package that rebuilds America in a clean, green and sustainable way.

The people of Venezuela deserve a better future, a future they determine, and we all believe the Venezuelan people have a right to pick their leaders, a right Maduro has denied his people by refusing to hold free and fair elections.

I wish this bill was not necessary. I would prefer we spent our time working to find ways to support the Venezuelan people and their efforts to establish democracy in Venezuela.

This bill very simply restates the law as already enforced in the War Powers Act and laid out in our Constitution that any military force with respect to Venezuela must be authorized by Congress.

Nicolas Maduro is a dictator whose regime has destroyed Venezuela's economy, starved its people, and engaged in widespread corruption and repression.

Not only would military intervention be illegal, it would also come with serious consequences that I feel would not only hurt the Venezuelan people, but also the prospects for democracy.

Nothing in this bill would limit the ability of the Congress to authorize intervention in any way we see appropriate.

It is not only the Trump Administration's rhetoric and refusal to unequivocally condemn White nationalism that is problematic but his actual xenophobic policies have emboldened the most openly racist elements of our society and posed grave…

However, because of the belligerent and irresponsible language by Trump administration officials, we have no choice as a Congress but to weigh in and ensure that this administration understands that it does not have consent to engage in…

The argument that was just made by my friends on the other side of the aisle that the President of the United States can do whatever he wants for 60 days is absolutely false.

Some of them move to violence. Others mobilize to pull the country through policies and through politics ever more in the direction of bigotry, mistrust, and polarization.

The Equality Act is the next chapter in this story.

I always am alarmed when I hear what heads of other foreign governments shaping American foreign policy.
