If you google carjacking in Kentucky, what will come up is, just a few months ago, two people were carjacked in different incidents at gunpoint in Louisville, which I think is in the State of Kentucky. Since we are talking about State…

I agree with you and with the President that the number-one thing we need to do is get our house in order here at home.

The CHIPS piece, as you know, is funded. We need to fully fund the science part of the CHIPS and Science Act to maintain our competitive edge.

I should say that none of those jurisdictions have been overrun with fentanyl or illegal aliens. All of those jurisdictions are functioning democratic self-governmental units, just as the jurisdictions in New York and Colorado that had the…

The distinguished gentlewoman from Colorado boasts that her State is number one in auto thefts, number one in bank robberies, and number two in fentanyl, as I understand it. It sounds like they have got their hands full with their own…

Just to respond to the gentleman before he goes, perhaps. When I said that they were returning to their worst possible instincts, that was actually a bipartisan comment because in the old days it was Democrats, racist Dixiecrats on the…

May I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland has 14\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the following be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship…

The equivalency that has been made here is absolutely without merit, and you go down a terrible road. I do not agree with the statements that were made. I oppose them. I said on this floor that I opposed them. But by golly, there are a…

To address two points. One, let's grab the bull by the horns with this IRS point. The President's budget included $80 billion to increase staffing and to update technology at the IRS so our constituents can get their calls returned. If you…

Mr. President, let me begin with a simple statement which I hope every Senator in this body agrees with: that the United States of America pays its bills on time. We have since our Nation was founded. We never default on our debts. We…

I thank the ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, Mr. Raskin, for yielding this time. A couple quick things. H.R. 139 is an overly broad proposal that stretches across the entirety of the Federal Government workplace to…

Based on 56,000 respondents to its survey, 88 percent of the Department of Defense respondents found telework accommodations increased their overall productivity. This is not my imagination. This is how thousands and thousands of them…

I will tell you a story about a couple that both work for the Federal Government. Earlier this month, the spouse of an Army servicemember, seeking approval to go work overseas for the State Department, contacted the Oversight Committee…

Mr. President, I take this time to celebrate the success of the Affordable Care Act. We just completed the open enrollment period for 2023. Over 16 million Americans signed up for health coverage under the Affordable Care Act. That is…

We strongly oppose this bill, which is an assault on all the progress we have made over the last several years in telework policy. Telework has strengthened private and public workplaces across the land, enhanced productivity, increased…

The gentlewoman makes an interesting argument. Of course, if physical presence in Washington is necessary, then that agency never should have been stripped from Washington and relocated in Colorado in the first place. One could say that…

Madam President, I rise today, on the eve of the second anniversary of the military coup in Burma, to introduce a resolution marking the occasion--and the terrible 2 years that the people of Burma have had to suffer since then. I am proud…
