Fortunately, the United States Senate has stepped up to provide leadership on this issue.

Unfortunately, despite mounting evidence, the White House fails to recognize the seriousness of the national security threat posed by Russia's malign influence activities.

I look forward to working with the President, Congress, and other stakeholders to find a solution to protect workers' pensions.

I also rise to talk about the healthcare of every American. This is critically important to every person and every family in this country. It is critically important to every local, State, and Federal budget in this country. It is also…
