I rise today in recognition of National Lupus Awareness Month. This is an important time to pause to reflect on what more we can do to solve the cruel mystery of this disease, while providing caring support to those across our Nation who…

Senator Scott has been clear that these are extremely serious and concerning allegations and we need to get all the facts.

The content and conclusions of these meetings and working groups have not been disclosed or been made available to the public. While privately worrying about the same issue I have been sounding the alarm on for months, the Biden…

Americans are worried about inflation. New polling shows that 87 percent of Americans are concerned about the rising costs of household items, like diapers and gas and groceries. That is up from 77 percent just last month. They have good…

the decision by my colleague to block this resolution is clearly disappointing. Let's remember what this was about. This was about transparency. They just blocked the Senate from requesting basic information that is going to help all…

The president gives a nice talk about unity, but then he doesn’t -- there’s no unity. He’s -- unity for him is we Republicans just agree to spend and spend and spend.

Today, we are gathered to discuss how substantial investments in the infrastructure of our schools, workforce, and communities will help overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and build back a better economy for all Americans.

We cannot be satisfied with a return to the pre-pandemic status quo. We have the responsibility to build back an even better economy.

I rise in opposition to the nomination of Colin Kahl to serve as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. Our Nation needs leaders at the Department of Defense who are not driven by a partisan agenda and are committed to making sure our…

This proposal reflects key elements of the Relaunching America's Workforce Act, which would invest $15 billion to help workers quickly re-enter the workforce.

I do want to compliment my colleague. He comes from a beautiful State. While I would like all of the tourists to come to Florida, Alaska is a great State to take a vacation. I have had the opportunity to do that a few times, and it is a…

well, I am clearly disappointed that my colleague from Washington would object to this commonsense proposal. The cruise industry impacts thousands of jobs, not just in Florida and not just in Alaska but in the State of Washington…

I rise today to honor the 60th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs operation. Today, we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs operation and pay tribute to the brave and courageous members of Brigada de Asalto 2506, Assault Brigade…

my goal is 100 percent participation and zero percent fraud. It is not voter suppression or racist to prove your identity for in-person voting. It is not voter suppression or racist to prove your identity for mail-in voting. It is not…

the United States is a beacon of democracy in the world, and our Nation was founded on free and fair elections, but if the American people don't have confidence in our elections, we don't have a sustainable democracy. What we saw this past…

we can and must pass commonsense reforms to restore confidence in our elections. The easiest thing we can do right now is require voter ID. Americans agree this is a necessary step. If we are serious about working together to move our…

It just goes to show you how out of touch the Democrats really are. All my Republican colleagues and I want to see is more Americans vote, and I am thankful Senators Barrasso and Cramer are joining me in this effort today. We want a…

So any infrastructure bill should also include investments in workers, so that they will have the skills needed to build and expand a cleaner and greener infrastructure.

My legislation, the Reopen and Rebuild America's Schools Act, H.R. 604, would invest $100 billion in grants and $30 billion in bonding authority targeted at high-poverty schools.

it must be nice to be the Speaker of the House. Speaker Pelosi gets to push around our new majority leader and my Democratic colleagues, and they get nothing in return. This bill is a bailout for Speaker Pelosi and gives California's…

What I am offering protects Medicare benefits, and the only change it makes to this bill is to strip out this ridiculous Pelosi bailout. A vote for my amendment is a vote to ensure that all 50 States play by the same rules. It is to…

I ask unanimous consent that I have another 30 seconds. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I rise in opposition to the nomination of Wally Adeyemo for Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, The U.S. Treasury Department plays a significant part in enforcing American foreign policy through economic sanctions. We know that sanctions…

that sounded good, but this is clearly a tax increase. It is a massive tax increase, and it is a massive new reporting requirement on already struggling Americans. Our focus ought to be on helping support American workers, especially these…

I rise today to discuss another issue in the Democrats' massive COVID spending bill that we need to fix. My Democratic colleagues want to keep spending into oblivion, taking our national debt to $30 trillion. This would be bad enough on…
