I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Wasteful Spending

since February I have been coming to the Senate floor every week to talk about the waste of the week. Back in 2010, when I made the decision to answer a call to run for the Senate again, one of the primary reasons for my decision to go…

this week Pope Francis will be making a historic visit to Washington, DC, to address those of us in Congress and millions of Americans across the United States. While I am not a Catholic, one of the tenets of the Catholic Church that I…

there has been a lot of talk around here about the Iran deal: It is over. We made our best effort. We have fully exposed exactly what is in this agreement. We had hours and hours, days and days, and weeks and weeks of debates over this. It…

I came to the floor having spoken at great length last week outlining why I thought this agreement was something that ought to be fully debated and fully understood not only by Members of the Senate but by the American people. We had that…

I thank my colleague Senator Corker for his diligent efforts, as it consumed literally hundreds, if not thousands, of hours as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in helping guide us through this very important, very…

I thank my colleagues. In conclusion, with this agreement, we have paid too much and gained too little. The risks are not adequately acknowledged and not effectively addressed. I cannot support this agreement. I cannot approve the…

I intend to speak at much greater length on this issue perhaps tomorrow. I am pleased to have the opportunity to participate in this colloquy. I will be brief. I know my colleagues are waiting to speak also. First, I want to commend…

last week I delivered my 19th ``Waste of the Week'' and we actually reached our goal of $100 billion in savings for the taxpayer by identifying waste, fraud, and abuse. This was money spent by the Federal Government, money collected from…

should it not be in the government's interest also to care for the victim and put something in place

William Wilberforce is a man whom I have, over the years, looked to as a role model and an example of what public service should be and what public servants should be. Wilberforce served as a Member of the British Parliament from 1784 to…

once again, I am on the floor for the ``Waste of the Week.'' Each week since February, I have come to the floor to discuss an issue of waste, fraud, and abuse--misspent taxpayer money identified by neutral agencies of the Federal…

in recent weeks, the American people have learned the shocking story of the barbaric practices Planned Parenthood uses to terminate life and to harvest organs of innocent human life. In a video released earlier this month that has gone…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Planned Parenthood

I will share a couple of excerpts from his piece. Writing in the New York Times, Ross Douthat says: And the problem these videos create for Planned Parenthood isn't just a generalized queasiness at surgery and blood. It's a very specific…

While dynamic scoring has been debated for decades, it is no longer 'voodoo economics.'

While dynamic scoring has been debated for decades, it is no longer as it has been previously described, 'voodoo economics.'

I repeatedly have come down to the Senate floor to talk about our budget issues. Earlier this morning I talked about my 18th waste of the week--looking at waste, fraud, and abuse in terms of government spending and a waste of taxpayers'…

I want to thank my colleague from Oklahoma for his recent statement. I also understand he is willing to help relieve me a little bit, as I am the next Presiding Officer. I appreciate that. I will relieve him of that responsibility as soon…
