No accountability. There has been no one fired. There has been no one relieved of command. This administration has stonewalled. They have dragged their feet. They have refused to cooperate. Oh, we have had hearings, and they have had…

I would like to say a word, if I could, about the nature of my objection. It has been now almost a year since the attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul in Afghanistan, almost a year since we lost 13 American servicemembers in that tragic attack…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the first part of an investigation directed by the U.S. Central Command concerning the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan in August 2021. There being no objection, the…

I would like to have a cloture vote and a recorded vote. I would like to observe regular order on each of these, unless we can make some progress on having a public hearing on this report. That is my position at this time. Again, I am not…

As a strong advocate and fighter for the Second Amendment, I cannot support the Senate's gun control bill. The legislation is simply another attempt to blame law-abiding gun owners instead of holding accountable the disturbed criminals who…

Madam President, before I get to my topic today, I would like to say that when Senator Sullivan first came to the Senate, I hadn't been here very long, either, and this was my presiding time every week. I loved the Alaskan of the Week. I…

Yes. I think the point you are making here, too, are that these are--we now have 5 years of evidence in several States, multiple years in other States. So this isn't just assuming what will happen but looking at what we have carefully…

Madam President, I want to talk a little bit about the whole idea of loan forgiveness, student debt forgiveness. I have spoken many times on the floor about the importance of higher education--both college education and apprenticeships and…

The biggest challenge facing Missouri families right now is sky-high inflation. They know that President Biden and Washington Democrats have only themselves to blame for driving inflation to the highest level in 40 years. Last month alone…

Mr. President, had there been a recorded vote, I would have voted nay on the confirmations of Executive Calendar No. 990, Joshua D. Hurwit, of Idaho, to be United States Attorney for the District of Idaho for the term of four years…

Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the bipartisan accomplishment by the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee and the expanded support we are delivering for veterans living with illnesses as a result of toxic exposure due to their…

First of all, I thank the floor manager, Mr. Green of Texas, and I stand with my colleagues and Chairwoman Maxine Waters of California who I know is watching this debate in support of the Financial Services Racial Equity, Inclusion, and…

Today's rule is an all-too- familiar pattern of the legislative laziness from my Democrat colleagues. Once again, Washington Democrats are hiding their spending from the American people. They are smuggling their spending levels for the…
