Congress approved a $195 million to address the electrical bone of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

In 2022 the Defense Health Agency removed labor and delivery services from naval hospitals.

Men and women in uniform can only do their jobs if they know their kids are okay.

I cannot emphasize enough how concerning and unacceptable that is.

So what are you doing to make sure this never happens again?

Okay. Well, I'm going to be following this very closely and I expect this to be investigated and addressed swiftly and report back to us so our men----

It is critical we act, that we stand with our allies that we deter escalation and more conflict.

For months I've been insisting we pass a comprehensive and bipartisan national securities supplemental.

At a time when we know some of our adversaries are making significant investment in their Navies, we have to keep pace and maintain strong investments for our Navy and Marine Corps.

After so many months of needless delay from House Republicans, we've got to get this done.

Iran's attacks over the weekend are a very stark reminder of the precarious moment that we're in, the pressing challenges we and our allies face across the globe.

I really strongly caution that ICE needs to take these unsafe, inhumane conditions... very seriously when you consider renewing the contract at that facility.

I am very frustrated by recent reports on the overuse of isolation from the general population at ICE facilities.

The President has repeatedly sought support from Congress to fund critical needs on our border... funding that provides a humane environment for some of the most vulnerable people in our hemisphere.

We have got to make sure that we do the utmost to make sure people are being treated humanely.

I hope that we can all agree the Department of Homeland Security does essential work that should not be undermined or short-changed by partisan infighting.

Our security depends on our ability to do all of that while effectively stopping threats, like drug smugglers, and fentanyl, sex, and labor traffickers.

We must continue working together to actually address the problems that we are facing and make sure DHS has the basic resources that it needs.

I would really like you to commit to an independent investigation conducted by an entity outside of the Department to inspect the conditions and practices at that ICE facility in Tacoma.

In fiscal year 2024, Senator Tester and I secured $167 million to fully fund the Department of Defense's Child Care Initiatives.

So they take something else?

If we fail to properly fund State and other departments, then our Nation is less secure.

These service members and their families need to have a safe, reliable, affordable place to live, period.

Is there something else we should be doing?

How long does it take?
