I just want to elaborate for a minute on what I think the need is for this bill. This grew out of the work we did many, many years ago on the JOBS Act, in which we observed that the regulatory expenses faced by a company seeking to go…

Tariffs are not paid by foreign countries.

Everything's going to be great in two weeks. By August 1, we're going to have a deal. The American people are going to be so happy.

The last question you asked the secretary shows what a con man he is.

What you just saw was a master class by a huckster and a con man who uses words like torture that are very, very dangerous words.

Look, we need to acknowledge and every- and all of America saw it on the night of that disastrous debate in the July before the election that Joe Biden was not going to win the election.

Yeah, well, you know, Margaret, the last question you asked the Secretary, shows what a con man he is.

This notion that Jay Powell is unilaterally stopping a decline in interest rates... would be absolutely bananas.

Every legitimate investigation, including the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, found no evidence of politicization and endorsed the findings of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment.

I am deeply fearful that, at a time when appropriators must come together to defend our power of the purse, the path the majority has chosen will only survive to degrade the efficacy and credibility of what we are doing in this room.

It will become hard, maybe even impossible, to write a bipartisan budget ever again, because the minority party knows they can get double crossed.

I haven’t seen anything like it in 15 years in the United States Senate, just overriding roughshod the rules of the committee to silence members in this way on nominees for lifetime appointments on the federal court who are unfit and…

for all the rah-rah patriotism, think about this. Again, I will acknowledge that we don't know if this is a good idea or a bad idea, and we ought to find out. Let's imagine that the European Union, which Mr. Barr wants to dissociate…

It seems to me that someone dropped the ball here to let this person get released.

This was a really vicious murder that changed our laws. It also highlights how we need to take a look at the pardon system to see how it can be improved.
