The war in Afghanistan is America's longest war, and by its conclusion, two decades after it started, we were deploying men and women who were not even alive when the conflict started.

Credit unions and community banks are vitally important in the State of Georgia, especially when it comes to servicing smaller towns, rural areas.

The number of unemployed Georgians is now what it was pre-pandemic. So that is good news, and it is indicative that the programs put in place, the CARES Act, actually worked.

the latest unemployment data for Georgia shows an unemployment rate of 3.5 percent, which is lower than it was in March 2020, before the pandemic.

Great. I think this is often a missed opportunity, and so I am grateful for any efforts to lean in there.

I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the…

Confidence in the Central Bank is essential, and I look forward to working with you on this issue

I am a strong advocate for working and middle-class families and we successfully pushed to include an expansion of the vital Child Tax Credit program in the American Rescue Plan.

If made permanent, this tax cut for families would push poverty in a typical year down below 10 percent in 47 States, including Georgia.

I first want to say thank you to Senators Brown, Bennet, and Booker for keeping a spotlight on this issue. I must admit, however, on this issue, when I say Senators Brown, Bennet, and Booker, I think about the multiple choice…

I am proud to stand on the Senate floor today with my colleagues Senator Klobuchar and Senator Merkley in support of the new Freedom to Vote Act that we just introduced. I want to talk about why it is so important, so urgent that Congress…

I want to remind all of us that the only reason we`re here in this chamber at all is because somebody voted for us. Voting rights is not just some other issue alongside other issues. It gets to the heart of who we are in the first place, a…

Our democracy is in a 911 emergency, and while there are a number of important items for us to address in this Congress, the most important thing we can do right now, is pass voting rights, to secure the future of our democracy.

I’ve been very clear from day one that we must pass voting rights no matter what.

The bill provides a baseline for voting. So that you have access to that basic American right, no matter where you live.

Voting rights ought to be about partisan issue. There was a time it was passed on a bipartisan basis.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Remembering Richard Trumka

before I begin, I want to take a moment to pause and remember an effective leader in the labor movement and a real champion for working families, Richard Trumka. Richard Trumka believed in the dignity of work, and he also believed in the…

I am grateful for the opportunity to partner with my colleague from Texas on this infrastructure development, and I ask for the support of all of my colleagues. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.

Some people don`t want some people to vote. This is the delta variant of Jim Crow voting laws. And the only vaccination is federal legislation.

America needs to be made aware of the fraud--of this fraud, and Congress must work to carefully craft policies...

Here we are in 2021, and they`re trying to nullify our votes after our votes are cast all across this country? We know what this is. This is the Delta variant of Jim Crow voting laws. And the only vaccination is federal legislation.

As families continue to receive the child tax credit, I think it is important for us to monitor these types of fraud reports.

Georgia imposes a strict 10 percent usury limit on small-dollar loans. Almost 1 in 10 Georgians is a veteran.

This hearing will now come to order.
