Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for his leadership, and I echo his remarks. Mr. Speaker, it is difficult to listen to this debate and to hear the arguments peddled by my colleagues that are hypocritical at best and intellectually…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the No Rogue Rulings Act, a bold and necessary step to rein in activist judges who have made it their sole mission to obstruct the agenda of President Donald J. Trump. Let's be clear about what is at…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I understand that my colleague, Representative Luna, has done everything she can to try to find a path forward, and this is ultimately the only option that existed at…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Massachusetts for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule that will kill our bipartisan effort to allow parents who have welcomed a new child to vote remotely. I thank…

Mr. President, in the West and across America, national parks and public lands are our pride and joy. They are also a huge part of our economy. Colorado's public lands power a $17 billion outdoor recreation economy, which employs more than…

Mr. President, before he leaves the floor, I want to thank my colleague from Arizona for his incredibly wise remarks this morning and for his indignation at the insanity of this so-called tax bill that we are considering on the floor. What…

Mr. President, I call up my amendment No. 1646 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Colorado [Mr. Bennet] proposes an…

Madam President, today, the other side is trying to pass I think what can only be called an extreme budget plan--very extreme--which is chock-full of bad ideas to help pay for their tax breaks, most of which are for the ultrawealthy. They…

Mr. President, I am sorry it is the misfortune of the Presiding Officer to be in the chair again when I am speaking. I don't actually speak that often on the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. I wouldn't miss it.

Mr. President, I call up my amendment No. 2107 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The assistant bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from Colorado [Mr. Hickenlooper], for himself and…

Before he leaves the floor, I just wanted to thank my colleague from Georgia for the moral clarity of his remarks tonight. It is interesting to think for a moment of what we are dealing with and what the context of this budget is. We are…

Madam President, I was necessarily absent for rollcall vote No. 162, on passage of the joint resolution, H.J. Res. 24. Had I been present for the vote, I would have voted nay. ____________________
