Do you know who held the Senate during that period of time on the issue you brought up? It was Democratic Senators from the South. Remember when the Civil Rights Act, in 1965, was passed, that there was a higher share--a higher…
Remember what I said, and I just said this. So you obviously heard me. We warned, in 2013, when I think all Republicans voted against reducing the 60-vote threshold for district court and circuit court judges, so you could pack the DC…
We cannot keep shoveling money into a fire, watching as it happens, and pretending that everything is fine.
The words I just heard from the Senator from Oregon are very refreshing, and I thank him for making those statements. Thank you very much.
I was given a chance to speak five minutes at this event and I took advantage of that to see about what the Biden administration is doing on inflation. Nothing. What they're doing at the border, nothing. How they left Americans in Afghan…
Since your confirmation, in less than a year, the Department has moved as far left as it can go. You've politicized the department in ways that shouldn't be, case in point, your infamous school board memo.

There are few who have worked harder to protect whistleblowers than Tristan Leavitt.
I think and believe is a perfect choice and a perfect fit to serve on the Merit Systems Protection Board.
You have a responsibility to promote it, or to tell people about it I guess is the best way to say it.
By choosing this approach, Democrats are shattering the farm bill process and putting our farmers' futures in jeopardy.
I am deeply concerned that Democrats are choosing to go down this road once again.
I want to put something in the record that associates my remarks with what the Ranking Member Boozman said about the irresponsible spending in the reconciliation bill and the tax policies that are going to be very detrimental to farming.
