Mr. President, this is the last day before our August work period and so I have a lot of topics to cover and I will go through all of them. We are going to talk about the tax bill we are doing today. We are going to talk about the Supreme…

Mr. President, before I speak on the tax bill, I come to the floor with really good news. After years of brutal and wrongful detention in Russia at the hands of Putin's regime, Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir…

Madam President, once again, let me just repeat quickly, I am just really saddened by the fact that our Republican colleagues have not voted for a bill that passed so overwhelmingly in the House, put together by a conservative Republican…

From modest beginnings to its rise as a world-class medical technology manufacturer, BD's trajectory has mirrored Columbus's own dynamic evolution. We celebrate this 75-year journey of a storied past, thriving present, and a healthier…

Madam President, today, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Becton, Dickinson and Company's Columbus, NE, branch. Just after World War II, BD established its first facility outside of its New Jersey headquarters in Columbus. Columbus…

Mr. President, today the Senate will have a procedural vote on moving to a tax bill that the House passed over 6 months ago. At the time of House passage, myself, Ranking Member Crapo, and other Finance Republicans made it clear to…

On the Vacca nomination, today, the Senate will confirm another exceptional judicial nominee from New York whom I recommended to President Biden, Meredith Vacca, to serve as district judge for the Western District of New York, the Buffalo…

Madam President, I understand there is a bill at the desk that is due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The leader is correct. The clerk will now read the bill by title for the second time. The legislative clerk read…

Tomorrow, Senators will have a chance to take up a bill that in one fell swoop will deliver significant tax relief for America's families, for America's businesses, and for Americans suffering from natural disasters. All we have to do is…

Madam President, 245 days ago, I stood right here on the Senate floor to raise the alarm of rising anti-Semitism in America and the need to condemn anti-Semitism whenever we see it. This week, Squirrel Hill, the site of the Tree of Life…

Madam President, in a few minutes, Senator Klobuchar, chair of the Rules Committee, will ask for a unanimous consent request on two bills: the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act and the AI Transparency in Elections Act. I want to…

Madam President, I, too, rise today in support of every parent across the country working multiple jobs to help put food on the table, parents who are now buying school supplies and clothes as their kids are preparing to go back to school…

Madam President, I will note again that Senator Hawley is the lead Republican on this bill, and I don't think for a minute that he would allow for a bill that is something that he disagrees with when it comes to being radical or broad or…

Madam President, I thank my colleague and the ranking member for his comments and his leadership on Armed Services. We meet at a time of increasing peril for our country. The threats we face are demanding attention in a way that we haven't…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that myself and Senator Tuberville be permitted to speak for up to 7 minutes, Senator Cardin for up to 10 minutes, and Senator Tillis for up to 2 minutes prior to the scheduled rollcall vote. The…

Madam President, reserving the right to object, the AI Transparency in Elections Act echoes the Honest Ads Act and the DISCLOSE Act. Those bills failed to become law because they created new Federal burdens on the foundational right of…

Thank you. Madam President, like many of my colleagues, I am concerned about artificial intelligence-generated deepfakes in the context of political speech and election administration. But the Protect Elections From Deceptive AI Act is not…

Madam President, reserving the right to object, could I have the Senator please clarify which bill she called up.
