The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

``Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges on fairness are serious.'' I think we will all agree. ``But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then [they require]…

``free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious, but calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.'' Those aren't my…

I am convinced if someone had been able to activate the D.C. National Guard and have 1,000 or 2,000 guardsmen and--women deployed at the Capitol in a timely way on the 6th of January, this death and destruction would not have occurred.

As we discussed last month on January 6th, and as recently as last week, there is a lot of important work ahead for our Committee.

if my colleague will yield. As Senator Casey leaves, I thought his point about longest night and every day that follows will be brighter, and some of the provisions that Senator Barrasso and I, along with John Neely Kennedy, have included…

I ask unanimous consent to complete my brief remarks before the vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I want to say a few words about leadership. When I think of the word ``leadership,'' I think of Tom Udall. Leaders are humble, not haughty. Leaders have the heart of a servant. They realize that our job is to serve, not to be served…

I today I am introducing legislation that aims to reduce traffic-related pedestrian fatalities in Native American communities while also improving public health and quality of life. First, let's be clear. Everyone in this country deserves…

I rise this afternoon to share with you and our colleagues some of my thoughts concerning the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of these United States. I believe it was Winston…

I want to add one thought. I was about to run and jump in my minivan and head to Delaware. The thought occurred to me, your father-in-law served all those years in uniform with the Army and then many more years in uniform with the Postal…

I want to thank my colleague Senator Enzi for allowing me to be his wingman on this particular postal naming bill. I never met Robert Brown. I certainly know his daughter Bobbi, and I certainly know his son-in-law, John Barrasso, my…

It is an honor to follow my friend Senator Whitehouse. You could only turn out well, my friend, with the bloodlines you have. Mr. President, I rise today really for one reason: I rise today to make crystal clear that we are profoundly…

He was one of a number of sailors on the USS Suwannee who was killed in a kamikaze attack, and none of the bodies were ever recovered.

I spoke earlier of my Uncle Bob. I forgot that we had his photo, but this is what he looked like at the age of 19 years 6 months, and this picture was framed and could be seen in the dining room of my grandparents' house until they died…

I am going to briefly remove my mask. We are about 1 week into baseball season. I will lighten this up a little bit. We are 1 week into baseball season. Some of us here are huge baseball fans. This is the home of the Nationals--home of the…

I rise today to speak on the nomination of Derek Kan to serve as second in command at the Office of Management and Budget. It is not every day that I stand here and endorse a nomination--a nominee--of a current President. So I don't want…

reserving the right to object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Delaware.

Senator Wyden has some concerns about the legislation. Would he just take a couple minutes and explain what those are? Again, I think my friend knows that it is something we have worked on for 7 years--same concept reported out of…

I think the concern raised by Senator Wyden is if the Social Security Administration is going to be sharing this information not just with the IRS and a handful of agencies, there is going to be some cost involved in that sharing. That is…

7 years ago, the Government Accountability Office included in its recommendations--something called the High Risk List--a way for us to stop wasting money, which was not to send checks to dead people. It was called improper payments to…

The cost that might be incurred by the Social Security Administration because they would be asked to share this information more widely among Federal agencies than they do today.
