A program that is $183 billion over budget and 10 years behind schedule.

Individuals who get rich while pushing to overspend our tax dollars.

A Member of Senate leadership who recently said funding the Pentagon at $886 billion would mean defense is radically underfunded.

the important thing is that we provide long-overdue oversight to the taxpayers.

In Washington, the same game is played year after year. The President requests a massive defense budget, lawmakers do not want to be seen as soft on national security, and defense lobbyists exploit that.

Mr. Chair, I request a recorded vote.

When banks make promises to the public, we should expect that they are upheld. Disappointingly, First Citizens Bank is falling short of this standard. After purchasing Silicon Valley Bank's assets at a whopping $16.5 billion discount…

I was unable to be present to cast votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall 238, ``yea'' on rollcall 239, and ``yea'' on rollcall 240. PERSONAL EXPLANATION
