is a top priority for democrats so right now there are bipartisan talks under way, led by senators shaheen and collins to cap insulin at $35 a month and make changes to drive costs down in a comprehensive way. i intend to put a proposal on the floor as soon as we can after easter. there should be nothing remotely partisan about making sure americans don't go broke managing their diabetes. democrats are eager to work to make legislation to cap insulin at $35 and give millions a long overdue break at the pharmacy. it is reported that one in four insulin users have to ration their insulin because they can't afford it. this is a drug with no patent on which millions of americans rely to manage thaish diabetes. -- to manage their diabetes. today a 40-day supply can exceed $60 a month. senators warnock, senator shaheen, senator murray, and senator collins have worked on proposals for bringing down the price of insulin, bringing it back down as part of our larger effort to lower costs for american families. this will combine elements from senator warnock's and other proposals and it has my enthus

polish government to send the soviet-made mig fighter jets to ukraine, your colleague, senator jeanne shaheen, democrat of new hampshire, told cnn, quote, it's not clear why we are standing in the way. earlier today and yesterday two different former nato supreme allied commanders told us that they think the u.s. should be trying to help the polish government get these migs to ukraine. do you agree? >> well, jake, i believe we are sending a lot of aid, 17,000 anti-tank tools and i just was meeting with some more british colleagues. they announced another 3,600. i think we need to get more of those turkish drones that have been very effective. the question on the planes, i'd love to find a way to get the planes to the ukrainians. what i need to get the answer to, though, is will the balance of nato agree with this? i know there's some argument coming straight from poland versus coming from a nato american air base in germany. is that a distinction with a difference? what i'm trying to get an answer to realtime is, is part of the reluctance the fact that other nato members are reluctant to have

is a senator shaheen and i fought to include a provision that required the batt to issue guidance to the banks participating in p.p.p. to prioritize loan applications for small businesses in underserved communities. we knew that those small businesses that had priority relations with banks would be first in line, but we wanted the s.b.a. to make sure that those that did not have those privileges would also be able to benefit by the p.p.p. program. we insisted on the inclusion of this provision because we knew that a program like p.p.p., which relied on financial institutions to make loans, run the risk of worsening the existing inequities in our private capital market. we simply could not allow small businesses in our most vulnerable communities to fall further behind. s.b.a. failed to issue the guidance, so it was no surprise when organizations representing underserved small businesses sounded the alarm that women, minorities, small businesses in rural communities, and other underbanked borrowers were at risk of being frozen out of the program. the s.b.a.'s inspector general would e

. >> thank you, senator shaheen. just making an observation at this point, we need to be careful in releasing to the taliban the nearly $7 billion in afghan form reserves. i understand the motivations that some public spirited and humanitarian colleagues and others would have as it relates to that, but there was a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims and i believe they have a legitimate claim to those funds. they certainly deserve the right to make that claim. i would note that there have been many public reports on china seeking deeper engagement with the taliban and stepping up with humanitarian assistance this winter. so a question for either of our witnesses, the chinese, is party in pakistan, iran, russia, for example, stepping up to assist, and how might your organizations be partnering with these countries? >> do you want to go first? >> certainly. so far, the region, russia, china, are taking a rather cautious approach, they are excepting the taliban is the defect or authorities in afghanistan but

i wrote a bipartisan letter to president biden with my colleague from new hampshire, senator jeanne shaheen, it reported what we called for over the last several days which is to help ukraine able to get what they need, which is more air power. our eastern european allies including poland, bulgaria and slovakia, have older aircraft such as the s-29 and su-25 that they are willing to provide to ukraine but they would like to have an agreement with the united states that they could back fill over time by purchasing advanced fighters such as f-16's. poland has f-16's, but they are mig fighters they are going to provide to ukraine. it is to help poland improve their defensive posture in the wake of what's going on in ukraine. these soviet aircraft are compatible with ukrainian air force. again we've been told they are willing to donate the aircraft if they have assurances they can purchase more aircraft over time. let's make this happen. let's not say we have to go through a long bureaucratic process. let's be creative here. they need these planes now. they needed them yesterday. this will help

have worked with a number of colleagues on this bipartisan bill, including senators cardin, wicker, shaheen, and many others. so far more than 20 senators have cosponsored this legislation, and i hope we can pass it without any further delay. this is obviously an urgent crisis. putin thought this was going to be like the taliban taking afghanistan after the united states and nato's withdrawal. he thought he could take ukraine without firing a bullet. well, so much for putin's plans, his arrogance and underestimation of the willingness of the ukrainian people to fight for their own country. but we need to pass this legislation and ensure ukrainian forces that they will have what they need when they need it. as i said we have a moral obligation, maybe not a treaty obligation under nato, but i believe we have a moral obligation to support people fighting for their very freedom and their very lives in a democratically-run country like ukraine. the united states and our allies have imposed crippling sanctions on russian businesses, banks, oligarchs which has sent the country's economy into a tai

durbin: madam president, last thursday i decided to join with senator shaheen and set up a meeting with about 13 european ambassadors to the united states. it was for the democratic senators, and afterwards we thought this should have been bipartisan. the next one will be. but the ambassadors' meeting was nothing short of historic because these 14 ambassadors representing the obvious leaders in europe all spoke to the issue of ukraine and what it has meant to them and what it's done to their nations. some of their statements were profound. the ambassador from germany talked about how her country had in a matter of two weeks dramatically changed its position on many issues -- the future of the nord stream 2 pipeline. they've come to realize that dependence on russia is risky business in the 21st century. whether or not germany will step up and support the ukrainian people, they decided they would. and they also decided that they would make a substantial investment in military spending as part of nato. some of those things seem like very common decisions to americans, but for them it was

introduced the weatherization assistance program improvement act, along with senators collins, coons, and shaheen. our bill would make critical updates, including increasing eligibility, raising the per-unit funding level for weatherization fund projects, and setting aside projects to make critical health in conjunction with weatherization project. together, these reforms will make the program more effective and serve more households across the country ches these are significant -- these are significant steps, but we need the full package of climate energy reforms the president has called for, including tax credits and grants that would make energy cleaner, vehicles clean, and other clean technology more affordable and competitive. if we do these things, we'll make a huge difference in the lives of americans today and for generations to come. just a final thought, mr. president. i think one of the greatest nightmares that vladimir putin has is the world that is powered by electricity, not generated by hydrocarbons. a world in which the gasoline, the oil that he has in russia is not worth $150 a b

i'm proud to have worked with a group of bipartisan senators, including senators cardin, wicker, and shaheen, to introduce this legislation. this legislation authorizes the president to enter into lend-lease agreements like we did in world war ii, which probably saved britain from domination by nazi germany. we can do this again by providing ukrainian forces with the weapons they need to defend their country. this legislation was included in various packages designed to support ukraine, but unfortunately those packages never made their way to the senate floor. there's broad bipartisan for this lend-lease provision, and it would give the united states the ability to send the exact type of military support ukraine needs without a lot of red tape or unnecessary delays. our support for ukraine is not a provocation for putin. it's a necessary show of strength, and it's a deterrent. as we search for additional ways to support ukraine, it was great to hear from president zelenskyy. as i said earlier, his bravery and leadership has galvanized the world and has inspired all of us to take action, and
