I rise this morning to denounce the unprecedented political attack House Republicans are bringing to the floor of this House. This week, this body will consider a measure to bring a lawsuit against the President of the United States for…

Absolutely. With that, I will turn over the debate to my good friend, the Senator from New Hampshire, Ms. Ayotte, who has been one of the leaders on our side on foreign policy and is a steadfast ally of our friends in Israel. The PRESIDING…

Sad but true. Mr. McCONNELL. Sad but true. I recall when Prime Minister Barak was in office at the end of the Clinton years. The administration brokered a deal that Israel at that time was willing to offer and Palestine said no. It was a…

The failing Affordable Care Act has proven not to be affordable for American families. Health care premiums have increased with confusing coverage destroying jobs. When Stepheni from Monetta went to the doctor, she found her ``copay for…

The IRS plays an essential role in the Obama administration. They are responsible for enforcing the failing health care law, interfering with free speech, and handling finances for the government. Sadly, it has become apparent this…

I again want to thank Mr. Kline and all the hardworking folks on Education and the Workforce, the Members and especially the women and men of the staff. The Upstate of South Carolina, Mr. Chairman, is home to several higher education…

I thank the Senator very much. Senators McCain, Rubio, and Corker on the Foreign Relations Committee, all have I think revived the committee, along with Senator Menendez. The committee is probably the most effective it has been in a very…

Well, I would say that if there was a group of people in the world to be suspicious of, I would put Iran very close to the top of that list. The international intelligence community believes they have tried to militarize their nuclear…

In summation, reasonable minds can and I am quite certain will differ as to the propriety of certain regulations. I get that. I understand that. That is part of the beauty of our country. What I would think that all reasonable minds can…
