Tennesseans are fed up with prices at the pump. They are paying double what they were a year-and-a-half ago because of the attacks on American energy that began on day one of the Biden administration. Now, the President has asked Congress…

Almost 50 years ago, the Supreme Court incorrectly decided that the right to end an unborn child's life existed in the U.S. Constitution. On that day, the United States became one of only six countries that allow abortion on demand…

as Senators are preparing to return home to their home States over the Fourth of July, it is frustrating to me that we once again kick the can down the road on providing needed funding to address the ongoing COVID pandemic. For months, the…

If you were on a drive through middle Tennessee right now and needed to fill up, let's say, a 2015 Ford F- 150, you would pay about $120. A gas tax holiday would take fewer than $5 off that bill. Yet, this is the latest Band-Aid solution…

I thank the gentleman for yielding tonight. Madam Speaker, I rise today to address another devastating record set on President Biden's watch, this time along our southern border. Numbers released last week from U.S. Customs and Border…

Recently, Cecilia Rouse, the chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, was trying to explain away the challenges that runaway inflation presents to most American households, and she said, ``Most American household balance…

More than 7 weeks ago, we woke up to headlines that the Supreme Court of the United States would likely overturn Roe v. Wade. I believe the leaker broke Federal law in an effort to change the outcome of the High Court's ruling. We have…

If remarks like these are reflective of the advice being given to the President of the United States, it is no wonder that they continue to enact policies completely out of touch with the American people. Gas Tax Holiday

on June 20, yesterday, we commemorated World Refugee Day. It is an important reminder that we have to rededicate ourselves to a cornerstone of our Nation's founding: providing refuge to the persecuted and oppressed. Since the days of the…

I have another matter to speak of, and before I do, I wish to commend my colleague and neighbor from New England, the distinguished Presiding Officer. As President pro tempore, I am always delighted to see somebody step into that position…

I thank the chairman for yielding time. Like many of you, I am struggling as we see day after day, night after night, more lives lost to gun violence in America. On Sunday, a 15-year-old boy was killed and three other people shot in a mass…

I want to make it clear: just because Democrats named their bill the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act does not mean this bill will achieve that goal. The only thing it really achieves is a campaign talking point for Democrats responding to…
