I think we sort of perpetrated a myth that post-high school has to be college.

I think if you want to support public interest lawyers, you ought to create a grant program for public interest lawyers.

Pell Grants, for example, if you income qualify, but you--the course that is being offered is not the length of a college semester, you can't get a Pell Grant for that kind of a course.

I would just echo that the importance of having some flexibility in terms of the Pell Grant to the reality of today's students is very critical.

I hope you will follow the investigation of the Hawaii incident for your own purposes because for purposes of having good information and that coordination, I suspect there will be some lessons that will come out of that that would be…

The prospect of nuclear war is being discussed with a lot of frequency in this building to a degree that I have not seen in the time I have been in the Senate.

I rise today on a happy occasion, to discuss a House bill, H.R. 984, the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act. This is a bill with a long history, and we are joined in the Chamber by the chiefs of six…

Thank you, Senator Cardin, yesterday, for releasing an important report that details Russia's malign actions to undermine democracy throughout the Western world.

I wonder about the legal authority to remain in a country, against the will of the government of that country, for a mission that deals with another country.

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise as many of my colleagues have this afternoon, and I have risen on the same topic often to talk about our Dreamers. Usually, when I have risen in the past, I have told stories about Virginia Dreamers. We…

I agree with the comments the chairman made earlier that it is a good thing for us to step back and sort of celebrate the battlefield successes of U.S.

I inquired formally of the administration about legal justification for the strikes, and they eventually provided a letter giving a domestic justification, but no international justification.

You go after it on the supply side, but the demand is going to keep producing street corner dealers.

We have yet to see the President take the kind of serious action this emergency demands.

Addressing a problem this big will take an enormous investment of time, energy, focus, and robust funding.

I think Dreamland and The Factory Man are the two best works of reporting that I've read in the last 25 years.

There's a lot of evidence for that. When you arrest a street corner dealer, another one pops up right there.

I believe a wall will corrode the only thing that will truly help stop these drugs from flowing into our country: a deep, respectful, but also forthright and honest, relationship with Mexico that will lead to it finally become the kind of…

Another wall, seems to me, is just like heroin: feels good for a moment, but will leave us in a worse place in the long run.

If you don't set the target, then you don't marshal your resources around meeting the target.

We are losing 91 people every day to opioid overdose.

the trafficking report for Nepal in 2017 said, quote, Nepal does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.

In Equatorial Guinea, the government has shown a real interest in engaging in dialogue with political opposition.

I am concerned about reports from the State Department, United Nations, and credible human rights groups about the lack of independence of the judiciary, widespread use of torture, and serious violations of the rights of freedom of…

I think the Peace Corps volunteers that I know, including in my own family, have so much to offer, and they are offering.
