I will because I need to ask you about a couple more things. I will return to the mic.

Just let me thank you. You are that same cheerleader who fought to integrate the cheerleading team, but once you got on the team, you were a team player. The thing that I love about you so much is that, even with how competitive this place…

Mr. Speaker, it is always enjoyable to speak to Bible Week and always enjoyable for Doug Lamborn to give me a couple of minutes. National Bible Week, of course, begins every year on Thanksgiving and continues for the week after…

Mr. President, I want to thank my colleagues--Senator Kim, Senator Hirono, and Senator Markey--for participating in this debate today and for standing firm. As I said earlier, historically, the NDAA has embodied the idea that there is more…
