Closing off opportunities for people to work in the way that they want and need may increase union dues but it will not help workers and it will not help the economy grow.

This is not about righting wrongs, because there is a system to do that. This is about getting an outcome you want.
Policies like protecting the Right to Organize Act that prioritized union membership over workers' desires would add to inflation, fail to meet many workers' needs, and ultimately lead to a smaller labor force and lower incomes.
Maybe people are making a different choice. The number of people joining a union in this country is going way down.
One way you should not hold people accountable is have a hearing where you make accusations.
This is a heavy-handed approach, the most radical agenda in my lifetime, and it should be carried out at the ballot box, and it will be.
This is a political process here. This is an effort to get an outcome you want, using the United States Senate as your vehicle.
Your party funded the dossier first. The FBI was investigating Trump since the summer but did not make it public. The American public deserve to know.
I think that President Putin made his decision to invade Ukraine long before we pulled out of Afghanistan, to be very, very candid.
We're on the wrong path here from my humble opinion. We're spending below inflation.
The budget before us is inadequate to the threats we face and over time it's a disaster and I'd like to fix it.
We want to send a signal we're in it to win it and I appreciate the robust response.
I thought that was the right decision, that pulling everybody out of Afghanistan was a mistake.
If Trump doesn't tell these people to go home, we're going to call for the 25th Amendment.
I think most of us here believe that Putin wants to recreate the Old Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, Ukraine is just a warm-up act.
I am just saying the border is completely broken. We have 1.2 main illegal crossings since October of last year, and there will be a tsunami more coming if we repeal Title 42.
There is no upside to the Taliban in charge, for women anywhere in Afghanistan, and I think our homeland is far more at risk now that we have no presence on the ground.
If you need to change the law so that Russia fits in, you will have 100 votes.
So this is not about a buffer zone between Russia and NATO, it is about a man with an ambition that I think is going to destroy his country.
I think if you want to stop, as Senator Leahy said, one country away from an outbreak, you would revisit Title 42.
We are committed to Ukraine's freedom. We are going to win, and you are going to lose.
