and joined by your neighbor from rhode island, sheldon whitehouse, a great champion of the environment. i come here today with a message. we have the responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger and that's what climate change is about. it is not figuratively a clear and present danger. and national climate scientists called the latest climate report code red for humanity. let me say it again. code red for humanity. he is a scientist. we see it here in america, red states and blue states, extreme weather costing $145 billion in damages just last year. i have flown all across america. it's amazing to see. ravaging 100-year-old droughts occurring every few years than 100 years. wildfires out west and destroyed more than five million acres, everything in its path. that is more land than the entire state of new york and new jersey and down to the tip of delaware. it's amazing, five million acres. our national security is at stake. extreme weather is damaging our military installations in the states and our economy is at risk. so we have to ac

i hope the ondcp will use these programs such as the rhode island mat program as national models. my bipartisan bills and citrates act would boost the prevention treatment and recovery infrastructure, permanently allowing assisted treatment. i look forward to seeing these bills enacted. we must also hold drug trafficking organizations accountable. task forces that target drug organizations have proven effective. boosting such law enforcement work would be wise. most of the drugs americans consume come from elsewhere. mexican cartels source fentanyl from canada and india. columbia remains the primary source of cocaine consumed in the united states. we need to form partnerships with national agencies abroad. we need to hit drug trafficking organizations where it hurts them the most, which is their wallets. as long as cartels can turn a profit, addiction and overdose deaths will continue to rise. i am pleased this strategy includes goals to continue investigations into cartels by using suspicious activity reports and to increased financial sanctions against members of the most danger

. >> senator from rhode island. >> i am glad to stand with senator cortez massed02 support this legislation and recognize the leadership of senator murray on this issue as we fight to protect fundamental rights belonging to the women of america. for nearly half a century women relied on row's recognition of the constitution protects their right to decide if and when to have children. a radical, and captured supreme court has revoked this constitutional right disrupting the reliance and trust of generations of women to make fundamental decisions about their own health and their own futures. overturning roe is wildly unpopular which is why extremists went to the captured court to get a change that they could not get through the democratic process. deep-pocketed extremist interests invested hundreds of millions of dollars over decades to build a court where that kind of stuff could get done. it is an outrage women across this country are angry, democrats in congress are angry and we are fighting back in every way we can. in addition to state abortion bands, emboldened legislatures are ready an

and rhode island has an epiphany, an example of this rage for paper money that represented the future tell us as much of that story is you can up to the federal convention. >> is a revolution of independent states in the articles of confederation is a treaty among the states is like that you today. virginia to jefferson is my country. if you think in those terms you can understand the articles it is a treaty which is the basis for the eu. in 1776 nobody in the wildest dreams i mean no one even conceived of a strong national government of a kind that we finally got ten years later. nobody thinks about it and nobody throws it out as a possibility is not in anyone's consciousness. something awful had to happen in those ten years to change people's minds in order for them to create a federal government it ran against all the experience that a distant government that was trying to dictate. why would they create another long distant government. in the theory at the time said republics have to be small and homogeneous in size they cannot be large. why would they create this national governme

in total, emergency rental sentence has helped over 34,000 families in rhode island alone. and i also worked with colleagues to deliver nearly $10 billion under the homeowner assistance fund to help homeowners who experienced covid-19 hardships keep up with house payments and stay in their homes, over $50 million in this fund is helping homeowners in my state. rhode island and her states are also committing their american rescue plan dollars towards building new affordable housing. it is hard to overstate the impact that this cushion of support has had for families in our state and across the country. putting a historic emphasis on housing support helped eliminate a major potential economic hardship that could have been catastrophic for millions of americans. without the worry of how to make rent or mortgage payments, families didn't need to scramble to find shelt and uproot themselves from their support systems, kids in safe homes could stay in the same schools, it helps seniors stay connected and parents keep their jobs and kept all of us healthier and safer. we need more

we saw the future of the democratic party in the form of a rhode island state senator.emarkable campaign video where she twerked upside down. this seems to me to be a perfect distillation of the beliefs of the democratic party. we aren't forcing us, but there has never been anything that we have seen on video that explained the democratic party more clearly than her upside down -- on the beach, so today, she defended it, and came to the same conclusion we all have: people only criticized her because they are racist. watch. >> did i know the internet would respond this way? it's 2022 and i'm a black woman, of course deep down, not even that deep, i knew that y'all would act this way towards a black clear aniyah black, qruu r woman. -- you have to treat us better, please. >> [laughs] she went to an ivy league school for free, then serves in the state house in island. she is obviously the weakest among us, but not claiming that she is being discriminated against -- any reservations that you may have had about the video being racist, it's really at the democratic party. to

there was a research trip to providence, rhode island, and made my way to the john brown house. this isn't john brown the abolitionist. this is john brown the opposite, slave trade around cofounder of brown university. in the back of his magisterial home is a little annex where there is what is known as john brown's chariot and it is to our modern i tiny. i compare the forward facing seats to the backseat of the the w bug, a tiny little thing and according to family tradition when the newly inaugurated president, george washington, was visiting providence, john brown gave washington a ride in that cherry it down to the shipyard where he was building a ship named for the new president. that got me to wondering. in the book i was writing, washington visited providence several times but i had no idea he had come to providence once he was president. why? why was he there? that led me to realize he went on a series of presidential trips in an attempt to create a sense of nationhood among 13 former colonies. finishing up this book of straight history, close to a dozen books i had writ
