Mr. President, as in legislative session, notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Rules and Administration be discharged from further consideration of S. 4292 and the Senate proceed to its immediate…

Mr. President, it is unfortunate that it didn't have the chance to pass this today. I would have loved to have passed it. The reason I would love to have passed it is because, as my friend and distinguished colleague, the Senator from…

Madam President, I appreciate the thoughtful analysis-- consistent with his always thoughtful, analytical approach to matters-- that has been offered up by my friend and colleague, the distinguished Senator from Connecticut. Yes, he and I…

Madam President, I will be brief, and I appreciate my friend and colleague for indulging me on this as I have just a couple of points. Look, they are entering unlawfully. Again, this administration is using other laws to paper over their…

Mr. President, this is unfortunate. Keep in mind what just happened here. I asked not that we pass this bill but that we move to its consideration, that we be allowed to debate it, discuss it, and ultimately dispose of it through votes…

Mr. President, if my Democratic colleagues were really serious about addressing the crisis unfolding on our border, they would demand Senator Schumer immediately take up H.R. 2 instead of this counterproductive and excessively, at best…

Today I recognize the good folks at Pratt's Country Store in Fountain City. They have been longtime friends of mine and my family. Perry Pratt's grandfather and brother bought the acreage in the 1920s, and it has been family owned and…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent for Senator Schatz and I to conclude our remarks prior to the vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Much has been made about the title of this bill, but I would remind my friends across the aisle that they had a bill called the Inflation Reduction Act and it spent over a trillion dollars and inflation has not been reduced. Mr. Speaker, I…

Mr. President, this is a little like deja vu all over again. Here we are dealing with another piece of legislation. It is an important piece of legislation. It is important legislation that deals with a lot of things important to a lot of…

My mama's prayers did. Mine don't get quite that close. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act. This legislation will require U.S. citizens to include a question that asks if the person is a United…

It is always good to see Ranking Member Raskin with a good, healthy head of hair. God does listen to our prayers. We are glad he is with us and healthy.

Mr. President, this week, we are taking a big step forward in the fight to end online child exploitation. The bipartisan REPORT Act, which you and I led, has been signed into law, and now law enforcement and the National Center for Missing…
