I intend to object to any unanimous consent request relating to the nomination of Kenneth Allen Polite to be an Assistant Attorney General at the Department of Justice, PN423. Last week, at the Senate Judiciary Committee's Executive…

Iowa leads the Nation in cash trade, nearly 60 percent, and they are frustrated that they are shouldering the burden.

That is not going to work for the farmers in my State that are mad about the $1,200 profit that the packers are making.

There is no benefit to the consumer.

I strongly disagree that that helps the market.

I think we just heard the Senator from New York speak very strongly about the need for this legislation. She said 12 times she has come to the Senate floor to ask for UC on this bill. So we all ought to know--not only on this bill but a…

we have been told by the majority party that soon we will be having a vote on an 800-page bill to change 50 State voting laws to 1 Federal law. This bill is called the For the People Act. It was compiled after the 2018 elections to call…

Senator Gillibrand, as 1 of the 65 other cosponsors of this legislation, I think you are to be commended for every day coming to the floor, to be as consistent in being for this legislation as you have been since 2013. And every one of us…

it is no secret that this Senator has been a leader in promoting renewable energy sources. Iowa has done even more to lead the Nation in biofuels production. This leads to a cleaner environment and really increases America's energy…

for the past 41 years, I have toured our State to hear from Iowa workers, our community leaders, and our farmers at my annual 99 county meetings. So far this year, I have been in 71. As a farmer myself, I enjoy speaking with those involved…

This Congress, I am working with Senator Bennet to build onto the ACE Kids Act with the Accelerating Kids Access to Care Act.

In 2019, I passed the bipartisan ACE Kids Act, with the help of Senator Bennet, that will align Medicaid rules and payments to incentivize coordination and improve health outcomes.

Investigations into members of Congress and staff are nothing new, especially for classified leaks.

as my colleague from Iowa just said, something mysterious happened just before the holiday weekend when the budget was released. So just before Memorial Day, the administration released its long-awaited fiscal year 2022 budget proposal…

in January of 2020, when reports began to circulate about the coronavirus, I instructed my oversight and investigations staff to get a classified briefing from the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of National Security…

when I was first elected to Congress in the 1970s, I ran as ``Grassley, the inflation fighter.'' Inflation was about 12 or 13 percent at that time. When I ran for the Senate, it was 12 or 13 percent again, and it hasn't been a major…

Under the President's budget, spending as a percent of GDP would average 24.5 percent for the next decade.

I assume that, if your investigation finds a violation of the law, you are going to see that people are prosecuted.

Given Secretary Yellen recognizes the potential of higher interest rates, doesn't proposing a budget that results in public debt reaching 117 percent of GDP by 2031 and continues to rise thereafter risk leading us down the path that we…

But if interest rates do increase, that could be catastrophic given escalating debt under the President's budget.

On another matter, the President's budget tries to justify unprecedented levels of spending and debt by assuming interest rates will remain historically low.

first of all, I compliment Senator Thune with his remarks and agree with everything that he said and particularly to emphasize his call for a hearing before the Senate Agriculture Committee, something we have been trying to get done for a…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. National Foster Care Month

each year, the month of May is recognized as National Foster Care Month. I thank my colleagues for once again unanimously passing a resolution recognizing and bringing awareness to the experiences of youth and families in the foster care…

the time has come for this bill to pass. After 8 years of Senator Gillibrand's work in this area, it proves that she is a Senator who doesn't give up, and it proves that she is a Senator who can bring bipartisanship to a city that needs…
