Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today momentarily, that it recess until 10 a.m. on Thursday, December 19; further, that all time during adjournment, recess, morning business, leader…

Madam President, I rise today to give a speech that I have never given before. It is really important that I do it on the Senate floor, but it is like I have never done it before because I am actually giving a speech to two young children…

Madam President, I now would like to ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Con. Res. 46. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report the concurrent…

I ask further that the concurrent resolution be agreed to and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The…

Madam President, so much niceness headed toward this guy--it is killing me over here. (Laughter.) I want to clear the record, and I have a beef to settle with the good Senator from Pennsylvania. I will tell you this: I consider myself a…

So, here, he writes about his nomination: When my nomination . . . came before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I was prepared to answer any questions about my qualifications, philosophy, or legal issues, [but] I received none. Instead, I…

Madam President, if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand in recess under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 8:38 p.m., recessed until Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 10 a.m.

First of all, I am going to come out to the aisle because this is ``doing the Sherrod,'' when you get far away from your desk. I literally think, if the leash were long enough, he would have opened the door and taken a couple steps out and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief and close and put the rest of it in the Record. Autism Speaks says that the Autism CARES Act is the single most important driver of autism research, training, and data…

I thank my good friend for yielding and for his leadership and that of my colleague on the other side of the aisle. Mr. Speaker, it all started in September 1997, 27 years ago, with Brick Township, New Jersey, parents Bobbie and Billy…

The signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, was an essential milestone in the progress of all humanity toward a more fair, just, and democratic society, work that continues to this day. As we reflect on the last 250…

Mr. President, I would like to rise and join some of my colleagues in speaking about Ben Cardin, but I perhaps want to take a little bit more of a personal approach to sharing my thoughts about my departing colleague. I don't know if he…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to S. 2781. To be clear, I strongly support cleaning up abandoned mines, but this bill contains language that would undermine the cleanups it aims to support…

Mr. President, I appreciate being recognized right now. But I would be remiss if I let Jon Tester leave the floor without telling some of the truth about this guy. All the niceties here are making me a little nauseous. I want to set the…
