Mr. President, today I am joined by Senators Perdue, Heitkamp, Tillis, and Jones in introducing the bipartisan Corporate Governance Fairness Act to ensure investors can continue to rely with confidence on the advice of proxy advisory firms…

There has been no indication that this is a direct national security threat to the United States. We have to protect our borders.

Words have consequences. And the president's either off the cuff or certainly uninformed -- it is very, very daunting and disturbing to have a president giving an address about his plans for the border using, effectively, misinformation.

This seems to be more of a political statement than a national security statement. And it is a political statement that the president is making just several days before the election.

Well, my initial reaction when I heard the president talking about using American forces to shoot at civilians who throw rocks, it was completely illegal, completely contrary to ethics and contrary to the instructions I know they received…

Mr. President, the passage of the bipartisan America's Water Infrastructure Act, more commonly called the 2018 WRDA bill, is celebrated by a wide spectrum of supporters, including environmental organizations, national associations…

Mr. President, today I rise to continue my series of speeches on Russian hybrid warfare and the threat it poses to our national security. Russian hybrid warfare occurs below the level of direct military conflict, yet it is no less a threat…

Mr. President, I rise to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy as an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. I opposed Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to his current…

Mr. President, as a U.S. Senator and a member of the Judiciary Committee, giving careful consideration to Supreme Court nominations is among my most important responsibilities. These lifetime appointments can change not only the course of…

One of the touching features of the Senator's presentation was the summary of the effects on God's creatures--the sea lion pups, the fish, the sea birds, just from this particular episode. You may not have a big heart for an oyster spat…

I believe it was Tom Friedman, the very well-known author, who first wrote comprehensively about the connection between the unprecedented drought in Syria driving farmers and herdsmen away from their former farms and herds--the farms dried…

Mr. President, I am grateful to be joined by my wonderful colleague from Oregon, Senator Merkley, for my 222nd ``Time to Wake Up'' climate speech. Although there are thousands of miles between us--on the west and east coasts--Oregon and…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that at the conclusion of my remarks, Senator Merkley be recognized for associated remarks, followed by a brief colloquy between the two of us. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so…
