I believe that a properly funded and authorized Office of Mountains, Deserts, and Plains can make meaningful progress on these projects.

I would love to continue this conversation, if there is some perceived indications that we don't.

I hear from employers across Arizona how challenging it is to find direct care workers, and I know this is not unique to our State, but the need is serious.

It is a great honor for me to introduce a distinguished guest and great Arizonan, Commander in Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mr. Tim Borland.

Tim has urged the VFW to embrace new generations of veterans while ensuring that veterans of past conflicts are not left behind, ensuring that every veteran counts.

Reckless, reckless spending in Washington, D.C. At the time, people thought this was great.

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 6:43 p.m., adjourned until Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at 10 a.m. ____________________

For the information of the Senate, there will be two rollcall votes at 11:30 a.m., one rollcall vote at 2:15 p.m., and two rollcall votes at 4 p.m. ____________________

I think these companies should have had plenty of time to wind down operations by now and shouldn't be assisting in Russia's war in Ukraine.

I just find this... that is just unacceptable.

Unfortunately, it hadn't ever happened.

So many of my Republican colleagues have been committed to protecting Americans who have been victims of this fraud.

In my home state of Ohio, it is estimated $1 billion may have been paid in fraudulent unemployment claims from March 2020 to June 2022.

I am glad we are having this hearing to examine, really, the unprecedented levels of fraud in the pandemic unemployment programs.

It is not about red and blue. It is not about Rs and Ds. It is about the people who elected us.

I don't care if you wear a red shirt or a blue shirt. Start thinking about wearing red, white, and blue, and stop pointing fingers at each other.

This is an irresponsible model that continues to burn through hard-working taxpayers' pockets, and we are sitting about--is it a Democrat problem or is it a Republican problem? Damn it, it is an American problem.

Every--all this fraud lands on the same shoulders that it always lands on, and that is our taxpayers.

The things that are being fed to our children today are so radical and so far away from the world that I grew up in.

There is nothing more private than public education.

You guys in Congress got to do something to fix this.

I want to talk a little bit about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It contains a provision that I authored, which directs the department to promote the installation of demand-response technology in federal buildings.
