I would like to speak for 30 seconds before I yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.

the quick attribution of everything that happens to climate change flattens our understanding.

Activists often adopt scientific arguments as a source of a moral legitimation for their movements which can be radical and destructive rather than rational and constructive.

Immediate attention to those climate threats and other global challenges goes beyond traditional national security priorities; however, it must be aligned and integrated with them.

Climate change will continue to drive instability around the world, recognition that the opening Arctic will create new dimensions in great power competition.

I agree that climate change presents some national security related challenges.

In the past, Congress has explicitly acknowledged the security impacts of climate change as a direct threat to U.S. national security.

Reducing administrative burdens in healthcare is a very important and top priority issue.

How should we approach regulating Artificial Intelligence, given the impact of top-down regulations on current technology?

I think absolutely Medicare Advantage is a space that could foster competition, but there has to be a lot more competition.

I am worried that we would over regulate it.

with a heavy heart, I come to the floor of the U.S. Senate to pay my respects for the unexpected and tragic passing of a young Iowan earlier this year. Colin C. Smith lost his life at age of 37, while scuba diving in February. He had a…

This update obliterates the Biden Administration's fake talking points on how strong the economy is.
