We all want our kids to have the freedom to learn how to read and write in schools instead of duck and cover.

Putin started this war, and he could end it tomorrow if he simply withdrew his troops from Ukraine’s sovereign territory.

As I have made clear on our six previous meetings and throughout Putin’s brutal aggression and war against Ukraine, my support for the people of Ukraine is unwavering.

We must stand with our allies and our partners. We must defend our democratic values and stand up to aggressors.

Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or independent, we all want our families to be safe.

I am in favor of the Second Amendment, and I believe we need to reinstate the assault weapons ban and pass universal background checks, safe storage laws, and red flag laws.

We need more leaders... who have the courage to take action, to stand up to the gun lobby, and to put the lives of our children first.

We also know that other would-be aggressors around the world are watching to see what happens in Ukraine.

We will continue to provide the security assistance Ukraine needs to succeed on the battlefield.

Putin’s aggression is not only an attack on the people of Ukraine, it is also an attack on fundamental principles such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.

It’s time we establish universal background checks—and require safe storage of firearms.

I have been proud to stand with Ukraine. I will continue to stand with Ukraine. And I will work to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war.

The United States cannot and should not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Isolation is not insulation.

Putin could set his sights on Poland, the Baltic states, and other NATO Allies.

History has shown us if we allow aggressors like Putin to take land with impunity, they keep going.

You can’t be pro-law enforcement and be anti-FBI and ATF. It’s outrageous.

Our nation is experiencing an epidemic of gun violence.

International rules and norms are not some abstract notion. They provide order and stability in our world.
