What kind of effect is it having on your community, on our community?

Finally, this town is going to stop subsidizing the largest telecom companies in America and instead build broadband in rural parts of this country.

I think the Chairman would agree with this assessment--that we do not have a moment to lose here in space.

I strongly believe women should have the right to choose. That freedom is under attack in many States across the country. For this reason, I voted to move to the Women's Health Protection Act. I will continue to fight to codify Roe v…

Senator Cornyn and I have introduced legislation to increase funding to make sure that this transition to the prevention lifeline is successful.

In Colorado, we are having, I am sad to say, an epidemic of teenage suicide.

The more that we can empower and equip youth with the skills needed to support their friends in crisis, I think the more we will see kind of general health and well-being trends for youth increase.

Senator Manchin has not slammed the door on this. We now know over the last six months that people have spent the money the way we said they were going to spend the money which was to buy groceries to pay for rent, really importantly to…

I am disappointed that we have not seen a proactive public plan from the Biden administration on what they are doing to best serve these children.

The previous administration almost did everything in its power to dismantle our legal immigration system.

For years I have worked alongside Senator Wyden and Senator Grassley to write and pass the Family First Prevention Services Act.

I appreciate the clarification from my colleague from California. Mr. President, let me say what a privilege it is to have the opportunity to make this speech in front of you, the fifth longest serving Senator in the history of the U.S…

Let’s give it a chance to actually work. We’ve only seen it for six months and the early reports are extremely positive.

We can’t allow January to come without continuing the enhanced child tax credit. That’s what we’re going to fight to do.

It’s been one of the most successful domestic policies in generations. We’ve cut childhood poverty almost in half, we’ve reduced hunger by a quarter.

For once, the Senate is not in a quorum call. It is amazing. We are having an actual debate. I can't believe it. It has been so long since that has been true.

Thank you for your leadership and continued partnership in putting Colorado on the path to economic recovery.

The failure to even adjust these rules for inflation in the intervening 49 years has all but barred recipients from participating in any work activities.

Congress clearly intended for SSI recipients to be able to do part-time work when it created the earned income rules in 1972.

The most painful salt in the wound is when American investors invest in tech companies in China where that technology was stolen from the U.S. in the first place.

We support the Enhancing Emergency and Retirement Savings Act of 2021 introduced by Senators Jim Lankford and Michael Bennet.

It is very important that emergency savings issues get addressed, since the lack of emergency savings is a significant barrier preventing Americans from setting aside long-term savings for a more comfortable retirement.

The concern is, how do we actually incentivize that when the most recent survey from a couple of years ago said that 4 in 10 Americans could not even come up with $400 if they had to at the last minute?

The American Retirement Association supports Senator Lankford's and Senator Bennet's Enhancing Emergency and Retirement Savings Act.

We do not want this to be a bank account. We want it to be a retirement savings account.
