I am going to say a few words, and then others who have supported these bills, such as Senator Cornyn, Senator Hoeven, and Senator Welch, will speak to others as well. The bill that I am very gratified and grateful that this body has now…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills, en bloc: Calendar No. 276, S. 1088; Calendar No. 297, S. 1059; Calendar No. 301, S. 432; Calendar No. 303, S. 608; Calendar No. 611, S…

I had hoped we would be joined by Senator Hoeven, but I just want to commend him for another of the measures we have just approved by unanimous consent. I am a cosponsor with him of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Museum…

thank you for giving us this opportunity, and, again, I thank my colleagues for approving all of these unanimous consents on behalf of land and resources that have such great value, like Plum Island, a national treasure. I yield the floor…

I say to Senator Brown: I have my pin. I am taking your desk. I am going to get your office. And I wouldn't mind having your hair and your eloquence. (Laughter.) For me, Sherrod Brown--and for many of our colleagues--has always been a role…

I want the evidence. I want the evidence. I want the facts. I want the systemic results that they have. Make it public.

I don't know what's going on. Neither do the agencies who have responsibility for it. And that's why I've demanded answers from them at the very least, to tell us what they are doing to determine what's going on.

There is the valid suspicion that perhaps some foreign adversary is owning and operating these kinds of drones to do surveillance, and they are flying near or over military installations, airports, other sensitive areas.

What I've urged is in fact and I'll say it again, if a foreign adversary is operating a drone over sensitive locations, we should take it down.

They should be shot down if necessary because they're flying over sensitive areas. Whether it's planes that may be jeopardized or security at military bases, we ought to do a much better job, the Biden administration ought to be acting…

on behalf of the majority leader, at 5:15 today, I ask the Chair to execute the order of November 20 with respect to the Wise nomination. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Delaware. Farewell to…

The growing number... of mysterious drones... should be shot down.

let me begin by expressing my profound thanks to Senator Blackburn for her leadership as a champion of the Kids Online Safety Act. We have worked together over these years--yes, it has been years-- through the hearings, the drafting, the…

This nomination is doomed.

It's dangerous. The secretary of defense is involved in every issue of national security.

Literally life-and-death issues are in the hands of the secretary of defense, and entrusting these kinds of issues to someone who might be incapacitated for any reason is a risk we cannot take.

Much as we might be sympathetic to people with continuing alcohol problems, they shouldn't be at the top of our national-security structure.

I am hopeful that Republicans will take this major test of their integrity, their devotion to country above politics and stand up to Donald Trump.

It's on them to stop this degradation and potential danger to the country and we're going to fight hard to bring this issue to the American people.

The only reason for Matt Gaetz's nomination is he's a Trump puppet. His loyalty to Trump is the only credible reason that he has been proposed. He will weaponize the Department of Justice for retribution, Donald Trump's words. He is highly…

The principle of accountability, I think, is very important.

I wrote a letter to 10 of the largest Bitcoin ATM operators on their failures to prevent elder scams.

Half of our job on topics that involve scams is to educate, enlighten, and warn people.

They know it is happening. They could stop it.
