Mr. President, I have a motion at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the motion. The bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from North Dakota [Mr. Hoeven] moves to commit the bill to the Committee on Finance with…

Mr. President, the American people are hurting. Inflation has soared to the highest we have seen in 40 years, and the Consumer Price Index is now 9.1 percent. Americans are seeing increased prices on everything from the grocery store to…

Mr. President, the bill increases taxes and increases spending. It will not bring down costs, and it will not bring down inflation. Vote on Motion to Commit I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second…

Madam President, I am pleased to join my colleagues in talking about the tax-and-spend bill that is being put forward by our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I rise today to discuss the harmful economic consequences that this…

I think they have a sense that something is happening out there, that has created now an opportunity for other Republicans to step forward.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, this nominee has been failed by the bureaucracy that he attempts to join. For months, I have been working with the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security--USCIS…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I would be happy to have a vote on this this afternoon. But the decision isn't mine; it is the bureaucrats at DHS. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The PRESIDING OFFICER…

CCUS is clearly a topic near and dear to North Dakota, as is obvious by one of our witnesses.

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3962, the SECURE Notarization Act, is a bipartisan bill that would authorize the nationwide use of remote, online notarizations, which is simply an electronic notarization where the party and notary are in different…

It is one of the times Senator Whitehouse and I really get to dig in on the same side of something.
