I heard your comments earlier today--and I couldn't agree more--on the importance of us dealing with the issues that were on the floor today that we failed to deal with. I heard our good friend Senator Scott's response to the way his hard…

reserving the right to object and with great consideration for Senator Klobuchar's dedication on these issues, many of which, as she has pointed out, we have worked together on, and I think we will continue to, I just don't think this is…

reserving the right to object, I would just like to observe that it was just over 20 years ago that this Chamber and the analog Chamber across the way in the House of Representatives passed almost unanimously a statute called the Religious…

This bill was just assigned to our committee. This is a discussion that, I guess appropriately, we might have had before I was asked to come to the floor to assert the rights of the committee, to have the opportunity to think about that. I…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Scott of…

over the weekend we celebrated Flag Day, when we honor our country's flag as a symbol of unity. It is also a symbol of all of the struggles we have gone through as a nation and the struggles ahead of us. Harry Truman, whose desk--one of…

I thank the Senator from Tennessee for her tremendous work on this issue. I thank her for her leadership and for her strong stance in favor of the people of Hong Kong and their basic liberties, guaranteed to them by the international…

as if in legislative session, I now ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Foreign Relations be discharged from further consideration and the Senate now proceed to S. Res. 596. I further ask unanimous consent that the resolution be…

we have a lot of problems in America today--a pandemic, a recession, a surge of violence in our major cities drowning out a nationwide call for justice and hope. We have work to do in this body and this city to solve these problems and to…

this week we are considering the bipartisan Great American Outdoors Act. I think it is fair to say that this is one of the most important packages of conservation legislation that we have seen in a long time. It might be fair to say that…

It's important to understand how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted frontline transportation workers so we can determine a path to a safe recovery.
