Mr. President, I would like to thank my colleague from South Carolina for all of his work to promote school choice. I have been proud to partner with him each year to cosponsor the National School Choice Week resolution and promote the…

Mr. President, this Friday at midnight, the government will run out of funding. That leaves us with just a few options. One, we could pass the massive, yet-to-be-drafted, Pelosi-Schumer omnibus spending package, leaving the outgoing…

Mr. President, in closing this discussion, I just want to respond to a couple of points made by my friend and colleague, the distinguished Senator from Vermont. Senator Leahy is someone I have really enjoyed working with throughout my 12…

Mr. President, charter schools have seen explosive growth since they first came onto the scene in 1992 as a model for education. In 1993, there were just 23 charter schools in the United States, serving a little over 6,000 students. Today…

Mr. President, I yield to the Senator from Wisconsin. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wisconsin.

Nothing would be worse than doing a relatively good job--and we maybe overdid it in certain parts on Dodd-Frank--but put a structure our regulated industry, and suddenly see this huge escape of financial activity going outside any kind of…

I guess what I would raise for the Chairman and the Ranking Member is, you know, I am still trying to wrestle with this in my mind whether we need a crypto set of rules or whether we frankly--what are we, 14 years after Dodd-Frank?--ought…

Good morning. Don't get distracted by the cane, it might fall. If I fall, catch me. Good morning, everyone. I thank you so much for being here this morning with the former Members of Congress. I am really grateful to be able to speak with…

Today, it is my honor to rise in support of the Honorable Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves to be confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Just a few months ago, in September of this year, I had the privilege to…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Delaware.

I thank the chairman for the bipartisan support. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of my bill, H.R. 7952, Valley Forge Park Realignment Permit and Promise Act. Valley Forge National Historical Park is an important, extraordinarily…
