Last evening, the president once again disparaged the importance of wearing face masks. Is the president providing appropriate leadership when it comes to this critical issue?

I think it is very important that if a technology is invented in America that is dual-use and which could be used for very bad things, there would be a moment of reflection as to whether that should be broadly released or kept more close…

I begin by asking that the Record reflect how much I am going to miss the Senator from Tennessee when he is gone at the end of this year. It is nice to be on the floor with him.

We know that Mr. Pompeo was not telling the truth when he denied knowing about the IG's arms sales investigation.

the world today is in the clutches of a pandemic disease that touches directly or indirectly pretty much every human being on the face of the planet. It is costing us in lives, in money, and in immeasurable human pain. It didn't have to be…

I rise to express my strong support for the Senate resolution sponsored by Senator Duckworth, which condemns the denigration by President Trump of our Nation's Armed Forces and veterans. I also want to commend Senator Duckworth for her…

I am honored to join Senator Duckworth in supporting this proposal. It gives me great pride to serve in the Senate with her. She is the living embodiment of the kind of sacrifice that our President does not understand. There are two things…

we have seen in our own country the exploitation of the pandemic, the dissemination by our president of misinformation to voters

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, Postmaster General DeJoy's attempts to push forward operational changes that delay the mail are simply unacceptable. My constituents depend on the U.S. Postal Service. In the past week…

I thank the extraordinary men and women who serve us in the United States Postal Service. I rise today to highlight President Trump's shameless attempts to degrade the United States Postal Service, a revered American institution. These…

I am grateful to have the chance to follow my friend from Pennsylvania, who has shown such great leadership with respect to healthcare and particularly with respect to the nursing home population. I am delighted to join him to discuss what…

Thank you very much, Senator, for those very thoughtful remarks. Twenty-one days--that is how long one Florida public school teacher was on a ventilator after contracting COVID this spring. Plasma transfusions and anti-viral medication…

we are heartbroken for the more than 155,000 Americans we have lost in this pandemic. We are grateful for those on the frontlines--the doctors, nurses, the healthcare workers who have served and sacrificed, and we are committed to finding…

I am here today for a different topic. I am here for the 269th time with my increasingly battered ``Time to Wake Up'' poster to try to alert this Chamber to the threat of climate change--something, obviously, Louisiana knows very well--and…

I had the chance to at least hear the end of Senator Capito's speech. I thank her for the work she has done on the opioid issue that she was talking about. It is one of the very productive areas of bipartisanship going all the way back to…

today I recognize Chief Richard S. Tamburini for his longstanding service and dedication to Rhode Island and our Nation. Chief Tamburini has serviced as chief of police for the town of Johnston for the past 25 years and will retire at the…

I join my senior colleague to rise today in acknowledgement of the ending of an era in Rhode Island with the retirement of Johnston Police Chief Richard Tamburini next month. I want to thank Chief Tamburini for his five decades of service…

the unemployment crisis we are facing due to the pandemic has devastated the lives of tens of millions of Americans--many of whom may not see their jobs come back for the foreseeable future. The expanded unemployment insurance we passed in…
