Our current climate goal of net zero by 2050 may or may not be adequate. But whether it is adequate or not, we are not going to get there without nuclear energy.

I think that danger here is that the economics get misaligned.

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I heard some of my friends on the other side of the aisle say no one wants this legislation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The survivors of sexual assault and…

So, is it my understanding, you don't use compassionate release or recommend compassionate release to people who have a serious risk of illness with COVID-19, you don't use that process at all?

I, too, joined the letter that Congresswoman Bush just referenced, and very much look forward to your response to that.

Given all the evidence we've seen about successful reintegration through compassionate release during COVID, it seems to me that it makes sense to fully utilize this tool.

The number increased 500 percent in 2020, with about 300,000 people in solitary confinement at any one time.

Given the statistics I've seen on overtime and infection rates and considering the ongoing risk of COVID-19 and continued staffing shortages and BOP's expanded authority to release individuals to home confinement, why is BOP not utilizing…

That was the question--how soon that might be, given that we have a 2:15 vote coming up. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas is recognized.

Mr. President, I am not very happy to be back with my trusty and somewhat battered ``Time to Wake Up'' poster. Almost exactly a year ago, I delivered what I hoped would be my last ``Time to Wake Up'' speech and took the poster off the…

No. My question was, simply, how long the Senator was going to proceed, given that the schedule for my remarks was at 1:35. So no further questions. I apologize for interrupting. I was just trying to sort out the timing. The PRESIDING…

Mr. President, today I am pleased to introduce the Improving Trauma Systems and Emergency Care Act with Senator Moran. Nationally, trauma is the leading cause of death in the United States for individuals aged 44 and younger, and according…

Mr. President, for the Committee on Armed Services I report favorably the following nomination lists which were printed in the Records on the dates indicated, and ask unanimous consent, to save the expense of reprinting on the Executive…

I think he`s right. And I think he`s trying to create some distance between himself and Trump. Mitch tends to play the long game. And I don`t think he wants to bind himself to Trump in such a way that when, as, and if Trump collapses…

It`s interesting, though, now he`s packed a six to three court. And it`s not clear to me that what Mitch McConnell wants is a lot of controversy and attention around the court.

They not only have zero success, they got clobbered, laughed out of court, and in some cases, lost law licenses and were sanctioned for their behavior, so it`s about as bad as it gets.

Mr. President, we are 4 months into the fiscal year, and our colleagues on the other side of the aisle have still not agreed to a deal to fund the Federal Government, including the Department of Defense. In a matter of days, we will face…
