Madam President, I mentioned that I came to the floor to speak about a significant matter for Alaska. It is a significant milestone for my State. Just 2 days from now, on December 18, we will mark the 50th anniversary of the Alaska Native…

Well, thank you. Again, it takes a lot of people, and the years that Senator Ernst has been working this initiative on this side of the aisle is something that, again, we want to build on, and we need to build on it together. It has been…

Madam President, I have come to this floor to speak on a matter that is very local to Alaska, very important to Alaska. But before I begin my comments, I want to acknowledge a few of the comments of my friend from Minnesota. Clearly, we…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be allowed to speak for up to 20 minutes and Senator Menendez for up to 5 minutes before the scheduled rollcall votes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so…

Madam President, this week, the Senate is going to take up three Ninth Circuit judges, three Federal judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. And in the process, the Biden administration is going to smash an…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object. I have a simpler solution here, and I have already mentioned it. The White House has denied my ability to meet with one Ninth Circuit judge who just got confirmed. Let me meet with the next…

Madam President, it is Thursday, and it is usually the day I get to come down to the Senate floor. Usually, the Senate is kind of wrapping up things; we are still pretty busy right now. But it is the day I love to come down to the Senate…
