I would like to offer my congratulations to the Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society on celebrating its 100th anniversary. As a proud member, I commend the work the society has done and continues to do in encouraging and promoting…

Mr. Pinto, when President Biden was still running for President, his campaign released a plan in July that promised to build two million homes in five years.

It is an issue that is central for Iowans and all Americans, something they care about deeply.

I would like to speak to this. This legislation was passed in 1938. You heard me say in my opening remarks that for a long period of time--until about, I think, less than 8 years ago, when we started bringing attention to this legislation…

We will pay more interest payments on our national debt than the cost of all housing assistance over the next ten years.

the role of federal housing policy and how it continues to create unwelcome distortions on the housing market.

More government spending deficits and debt will make this situation worse.

I come to the floor to make a unanimous consent request, but out of courtesy to somebody who may object--since there is nobody here to object--I won't make the motion, but I would like to give my remarks at this point. Today, I am going to…

as my colleagues know, I get a lot of information about wrongdoing in government from whistleblowers. A significant part of my investigative activity is driven by whistleblower disclosures. To make that very effective, I have directed my…

I come to the floor today to share a few words about my friend, the Republican leader, Senator Mitch McConnell. I have had the privilege to serve alongside the senior Senator from Kentucky here in the U.S. Senate for nearly four decades…

Social Security is part of the social fabric of America.

Not only does the Biden-Harris budget fail to extend Social Security's solvency, their budget projects that the policies it contains would reduce Social Security payroll tax revenues by $17 billion.

as Iowans have come to expect of this Senator, in August, I finished my annual 99 county meetings, holding at least one Q&A meeting in every county across my home State. I have kept up this tradition for 44 years in a row. The hallmark of…
