The United States does not accept foreign meddling in our elections, and we shouldn't have an ambassador attempting to intrude in another country's political affairs.

Too much of our political debate...has become a race to the bottom. An exchange of insults and slanders more appropriate to reality television than a legislature.

There's definitely a world view among college students that appreciates the need to act in the international community.

Religion and morality are critical to how students think about politics and form opinions on political issues.

I think there are a lot of Republicans who recognize that investment in adolescent girls and empowering them is good for our foreign policy. When they're educated, they tend to give back more to their communities, to rise out of poverty in a way that is good for their families and their communities and ultimately, their countries. I think that we need to keep laying down these markers, and pointing out what's important to our national security and what's important around the world.

I've spent a lot of time in my political life talking about why it matters to have women in the decision making, whether it's at the family table, whether it's in a board room, whether it's in the halls of Congress, whether it's in your community meeting. And it has to do with the fact that women's lives are different. You know? They're not better or worse than men's, but they are different and we bring that different perspective to whatever we do. And it's important to have that perspective at the table.

The administration needs to show strength and not set a disturbing precedent through inaction on CAATSA.

The United States can not ignore the Kingdom's actions, and this bill sends a clear, bipartisan message to Saudi Arabia's leadership, this bipartisan legislation is a means toward forcing accountability and I hope it will come before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee floor for consideration.

Secretary Pompeo's refusal to commit to including Afghan women in US-led negotiations with the Taliban is both a moral and foreign policy failure for The Trump administration.

The prospect of Russia having access to U.S. aircraft and technology in a NATO country, Turkey, is a serious national and global security risk.

This administration's obsession with attacking women's reproductive health is egregious and dangerous.

Yesterday, President Trump handed global leadership and stature — free of charge — to President Putin, a man who has spent President Trump entire life working against the interests of the United States and who brutally suppresses and murders President Trump own citizens, i believe the Senate Foreign Relations Committee should hold a hearing with the American interpreter who was present during President President Trump and President Putin's private meeting to determine what was specifically discussed and agreed to on United States.

There is tremendous hesitancy (about) transferring sensitive F35 planes and technology to a nation who has purchased a Russian air defense system designed to shoot these very planes down.

If we continued at the same rate that we had been electing women to Congress, it will take us 100 years to reach parity. So I'm not willing to wait that long, we need to get young people excited about politics, excited about government.

We have literally thousands of positions in this country at the local and county levels that go unfilled because people won't run for them, and it's a great way to learn, for me, getting young people engaged in politics and public service is really one of the most fun things that I get to do.

It’s hard to believe something is really going to be done, why should we believe it’s going to be different this time than it has in the past?

Maggie Hassan isn’t afraid to stand up to Donald Trump, she’s got a record of standing and fighting for what’s right.

We must honor our commitment to the brave civilians who provided critical assistance to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.

We know that the way to decrease unplanned pregnancies and abortions is to make birth control and family planning services accessible and affordable, not micromanage the type of medical information and reproductive health counseling that women around the world receive.

The Kremlin hacked our presidential election, is waging a cyberwar against our NATO allies, and is probing opportunities to use similar tactics against democracies worldwide. Why, then, are federal agencies, local and state governments, and millions of Americans unwittingly inviting this threat into their cyber networks and secure spaces?
