One place where the President has expressed concerns that ought to cause all Americans to want to see some change, to see him have to be dealt with for what he said and what he is doing. I have in my hand a passage titled: ``President…

Now, fast-forward, and the current vulnerable population-- what we call the vulnerable population--the indigent, the poor, those who need it, single moms, people who are sick, the frail--that population, even under today's law, gets a…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the en bloc consideration of the following resolutions that are at the desk: S. Res. 196, OU Women's Gymnastics; and S. Res. 197, UConn Women's Basketball. There being no objection, the…

Let's fast-forward. What we are really talking about--for everybody at home watching C-SPAN, all 14 of you--we have a situation where ObamaCare expanded the Medicaid population, and it expanded it massively to a population that is much…

The question I have for the gentleman: When I graduated from law school at the University of Texas in 2003, the national debt was somewhere in the $6 trillion range, $6.5 trillion dollars. When I came to Congress, when I was campaigning to…

So Medicaid was created, and Medicaid was created to ostensibly provide an avenue to healthcare for the poor and vulnerable, right, as a broad statement. Is that true?

I thank the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Schweikert). We have engaged in a colloquy on his time. I am going to start my 30 minutes. He, of course, is welcome to stick around a little bit if he wants. I am going to just jump off from where…

the Senate has made good progress on implementing President Trump's agenda. After just 100 days, we have confirmed his Cabinet. We are now working on a number of Ambassadors, and we have passed budget resolutions in the House and the…

To the Articles of Impeachment, these articles have two places, maybe three, wherein the President has confessed. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 24 minutes…

During this past district work period, I met with seniors across my district who are worried about losing the lifelines they depend on: Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. At one event with our seniors, a Social Security worker told…

Musk’s DOGE helped crystallize the framework for what the Texas agency would do.

I have been saying in this building repeatedly that the math has to math. The math has to add up. Would the gentleman agree that that is the fundamental and core problem in this town when we are talking about the state of affairs? For…

--we are not allowed to touch Social Security in the reconciliation process, and then interest is off of the table because you have to pay it. You can't just magically not pay the interest. That adds up to what? It is about 47 percent of…

Would the gentleman yield on that? One of the things that I have been saying in this building for the last several months is this debate about what we call, I think somewhat wrongly and incorrectly, ``mandatory spending,'' because it is…

if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 3:23 p.m., adjourned until Monday, May 5, 2025, at 3 p.m.
