Mr. President, ``cancel culture''--we hear that in the news a lot these days--the idea that we all need safe spaces from mean words, trigger warnings on op-eds, or TV shows that might constitute a microaggression. This is the language of…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Young). Without objection, it is so ordered. Cancel Culture

Mr. President, if the Democratic leader, again, would like to engage in a colloquy, I will ask him, is the bill that he wants to make the immediate pending business of the Senate even written in the House of Representatives? Since he has…

Mr. President, a free society depends on the rule of law, which is the foundation for public order and peace. Police are the indispensable guardians of that law. We rightfully honor them for the risks they assume every morning when they…

Mr. President, if the Senator from New York would like to enter into a colloquy, I did not hear an objection to a single sentence of that resolution, to a clause of that resolution, to a word in that resolution, which calls for justice for…

Reclaiming my time, I have not yielded the floor. So I would just point out this. Let's be clear what just happened here. We have a resolution. It is a couple of pages long. The Democrats have had it for 24 hours. Until just moments ago…

It is imperative that policymakers establish and enforce policies guiding fiscal responsibility as subsequent COVID-19 relief bills are considered.
