Former senators
We need to make clear to those law-abiding citizens that the well-connected are not above the law, and they don't get a free pass when it comes to compliance with our tax laws.
My constituents were outraged by the $1.8 billion slush fund, but the offer of blanket immunity from any tax enforcement claims was especially appalling.
The Daughters of the American Revolution was founded by women for women, and its founders would be appalled that the organization is now allowing biological males to become members and undermine the legacy of real women who helped build…
There’s a reason the founders of this group named it the DAUGHTERS of the American Revolution,” said Sen. Tuberville. “They had the common sense to recognize what a woman is; unlike the woke Left that apparently doesn’t understand the…
We need to make sure Americans get what they were promised, or we need to come up with an alternative solution that will allow Americans to make their own retirement investments.
This is socialism. It’s highway robbery.
It’s a mind-boggling program to say the least.
The truth is that this retirement savings, this savings program, is 100 percent broke.
It’s a big, gigantic, blown-up Ponzi scheme.
Thank you, Mr. President. […] [I’ve] come to the floor to talk about a big scam in our country.
The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District is one of Virginia’s great historical treasures, preserving the Valley’s Civil War battlefields so that Americans from across the country can visit them and reflect on our…

“Wintergreen residents and visitors only have one road to enter and exit, creating a serious public safety risk in the event of a natural disaster or another crisis,” said the senators.
I’m thrilled that United Airlines is making a significant investment to accelerate improvements at Dulles Airport.
These investments by United and MWAA will help Dulles service almost double the number of planes, passengers, and visitors.
I urge my colleagues to join me in getting this bill across the finish line and bringing clarity and relief to taxpayers in Virginia and across the country.
I’m thrilled that several of my proposals have passed out of the Finance Committee and can now be considered by the whole Senate.
Taxpayers shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get answers to basic questions about their taxes.
The PROMISE Act sets up a process. It doesn’t dictate a policy. It sets up a process that puts Congress on the clock to save Social Security.
When you came before this Committee almost a year ago, I asked you if it was the case that political appointees were on review boards for the cancellation of $3.7 billion in awards. You responded, ‘Well, it's absolutely the case.’ Those…
On top of that, his office has slow-walked New Mexico’s own investigation into Epstein’s crimes at Zorro Ranch, refusing to hand our Attorney General the unredacted evidence he needs.
