I cannot think of anything more fundamental than ensuring the physical and mental health of our men and women in uniform.

I ask unanimous consent that floor privileges be granted to Sara Bauer of my staff for the duration of today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

today we are debating the water resources development bill that contains crucial provisions to improve and rebuild some of our locks, dams, ports, and flood control systems across the United States. It also authorizes valuable habitat…

I think it is really important for you to spend the day there, to see what is going on, to see the effect of your decisions on how the balance sheet turns out for them.

I rise to talk about the bipartisan Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, also known as CARA, and the opioid abuse and heroin use epidemics. As I have said, I believe it will take all of us working together to address this public…

I thank the Presiding Officer, my colleague from Ohio, and my colleague from West Virginia. This is a critical issue. I rise today to join my colleagues in supporting the bipartisan Miners Protection Act. We are here to make sure the…

That is devastating. That is the future of America.

They are wrong situations, is what they are.

That is just a cold-blooded decision that Americans do not count as much as their profits.

The decline in manufacturing employment is one of the factors that has led to a shrinking middle class.

So how do we make America work for them?

It seems like gaming the system to want to make your product somewhere else in the hope that you can sell them back to here, to the United States.

I have a question for the Senator from Connecticut, and it is, Is this vote as simple as it appears? We are all moms and dads--all of us in the Senate and the Gallery-- many of us, all of us, and these 49 beloved people in Orlando all had…

I have one more question. Does the Senator think we are underestimating in this body--that Senators are underestimating the common sense of the American people; that they know terrorists shouldn't be allowed to have these weapons; that…

Like all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, I was sick when I learned of the tragic shooting in Orlando. Since Sunday, like so many people, my thoughts have been with the families and with the friends of the victims, with the LGBT…

today, I wish to honor West Point Cadet Mitchell Winey of Chesterton, IN, who tragically passed away along with eight other soldiers during a military training accident at Fort Hood, Texas, on June 2. He was 21 years old. Mitchell was…

Recently, in my home State of Indiana, 2,100 workers were let go by a highly profitable company in order to get $3-an-hour jobs to Mexico.

Do you inherently see something wrong with this business model?

In the SEC's eyes, who is the corporate responsibility to? Is it to just the shareholders? Or do they owe a duty to the entire corporate enterprise, including workers?

I met with these workers this morning. They were making $13 an hour. Their CEO made 11.

Well, does the SEC assume that they have any responsibility to their workers, or can they just fire them willy-nilly?

Should the SEC play a larger oversight role in overseeing stock buybacks as this has been funded by firing American workers?

I echo the words of my colleague from North Dakota. I have 6.5 million bosses in Indiana. These think tanks out here, these other organizations, they are not my boss. That family who wants to make sure there is a paycheck coming into the…

as we continue to debate this year's National Defense Authorization Act on the floor this week, I want to take a few minutes as the ranking member of the Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee to discuss provisions of the bill that…

I thank my good friend and colleague Senator Coats. He is truly an institution in our State. I rise with Senator Coats to commemorate the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500. Think about that. What a long and storied history. The Indy…
