I think part of the challenge moving into the next few months is how you make sure that voters are getting that message.

It is -- it will be a dereliction of duty of every Democrat in this country, if they do not go out there and every time they are in front of a camera, every time they`re in an interview, if they do not raise the fact that Democrats got…

The innocent explanation is the most likely one particularly given the facts involved.

I ask unanimous consent that the following letter from the Government Accountability Office, GAO, be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: U.S. Government…

as cochair of the Senate Recycling Caucus, I am all for efforts to reuse material in a manner that gives it a second life unless we are talking about recycling bad ideas. The reckless tax-and-spend plan the White House and the majority are…

today, the Senate exercises one of our unique and most important constitutional responsibilities: debate and ratification of a treaty. The NATO accession treaty for Sweden and Finland is the most consequential kind of treaty because it…

Well, it was obviously a double-cross by Joe Manchin.

I appreciate the gentleman's kind words about the amendment. Madam Chair, I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Conway).

Again, I support the amendment. It is going to be needed as these fires continue to rage, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I know the distinguished gentleman, Mr. Hoyer, has left the Chamber, but I did want to personally thank him for putting the Senate NEPA streamlining bill on the suspension calendar today. I hope we can work on more issues like that in the…

Many of the water and power users in the Colorado basin were not consulted on this $500 million Colorado River provision and don't even know what it would be used for. That is another reason why we should actually work on these issues in…

More and more of or forests are going up in flames. More forests are being categorized as subject to catastrophic wildfire. We are losing this fight. We need a new game plan. We need work on this in a bipartisan manner. There are a lot of…

I know there is a lot of talk about the IIJA and what a great bill it was. It was the largest infrastructure bill passed in the history of the world. It was so important that it never even went through a committee here in the House. It…

I just want to point out those weren't my words. That was the information we got from the U.S. Forest Service that said there is no funding in this bill. If this bill passes without additional funding in the future, they will have to lay…

A poet named Joyce Kilmer wrote his most famous poem called ``Trees,'' and it begins with, ``I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree.'' Trees and forests are poetic. They tug at our heartstrings. They evoke emotion. And I…
