I ask unanimous consent to begin the vote immediately. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendments were ordered to be engrossed and the bill to be read a third time. The bill was read the…

I rise today to applaud my colleagues for passing H.R. 4803, Citizenship for Children of Military Members and Civil Servants Act, without amendment by unanimous consent. Last year, Senator Johnny Isakson joined me in introducing the…

from the first words in the Constitution, the weight that lies on every American's shoulders has been clear: We the people are the ones who dreamed up this wild experiment that we call America, and we the people are the ones charged with…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk for the House managers. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Duckworth for the House managers: If the hold on aid to Ukraine was meant to be kept secret until the…

If anybody has denigrated America, it's President Trump. It is certainly not Colonel Vindman. He, in fact, has talked about how great this nation is, how grateful he is that his father escaped Soviet Union to come to the United States, how…

I am just appalled that that is what she has said, that she would actually attack a veteran, a man of honor, a man who in his remarks when he testified under oath was that here in the United States, right matter. And that is why he spoke…

Well, then allow us to subpoena the additional evidence that the White House is hiding from the American people. The evidence that we've shown so far has holes in it that the White House can fill.

I can tell you, Anderson, I watched the House trial, and the way that the House managers have actually presented the evidence in chronological order was new to me.

Mulvaney has actually said on record in a press interview that there was quid pro quo, right? He said, hey, we do this all the time, get used to it.

I am here to speak on two matters. The first is the nomination for Ambassador to the Kingdom of Thailand of Michael DeSombre. The Kingdom of Thailand has been a longtime U.S. ally and is a key partner for our efforts in the Southeast Asia…

In fact, what he has achieved is to give Iran everything they want in the end.

I think there is chance of de-escalation. Now, the question is, do we have the people, the competence here on our side in the White House to work towards de-escalation? I don't know.

All is not well. I think that we need to be very much on alert for threats to American assets, American troops, American personnel.

They have to do it for the Iranian street, you know, in order to maintain their legitimacy with their people.

I don't think it's clear at all, Anderson. I don't think they have an idea because I think there are many factions within the administration so far.

I think we need to have a measured response. First and foremost, I want to know what the administration's plan is.

I knew what he had done was made America less safe.

What this situation needs is a lot less chest thumping and actual diplomacy to be put into place.

I rise today to recognize my colleague and friend, Senator Johnny Isakson, for a lifetime of service to our Nation that started with his time as a loadmaster in the Georgia Air National Guard, to his tenure in the Georgia General Assembly…

I was necessarily absent for vote No. 395 on confirmation of Executive Calendar No. 452, Aurelia Skipwith, of Indiana, to be Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. On vote No. 395, had I been present, I would have voted…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Unanimous Consent Request--S. 1573

I am disappointed that the majority has objected to passing our bipartisan legislation. Every Senator should support a simple fix to assure veterans enrolled in the VA system can obtain preventive medications without out-of- pocket costs…

as in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 1573 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration. I further ask that the bill be…

But here's the deal, Anderson. There's one person and one person alone who can fix this and that is Donald Trump. And he's the guy that made this decision. He's the guy that basically green lighted Turkey to conduct this invasion. All of…

Well, it's very clear there's no strategy involved, whatsoever, and the President just did this on his own.
