Rand Paul

There is no definitive evidence that the children who died, the bacteria came from the formula.

I think we should, by legislation, address the needs of formula and see where there is a dispute.

I ask unanimous consent that the cloture vote on the Wainstein nomination be withdrawn and that the confirmation vote on the nomination occur at a time to be determined by the majority leader or his designee in consultation with the…

Sanctions are useful as a threat.

I think it is important that if we do want negotiations and the only way we are going to get any behavioral change is through negotiations by actually lessening sanctions is the only way you get it.

I think a lot of the debate begins from a fundamental misconception of what sanctions can do and cannot do.

If we refuse to negotiate they will, I think, ultimately, get a nuclear weapon.

The punishment has been extraordinary--the maximum pressure sanctions--and no behavior has changed.

Yes, our national security is threatened not by Russia`s war on Ukraine, but by Congress` war on the American taxpayer.

today the Senate is considering a bill to give $40 billion to Ukraine. This bill brings up the questions of both constitutionality and also affordability. There was an essay written in 1867 that was published in Harper's Magazine. It was…

He is seeking a third term in the Senate.

I rise today out of a desire to protect the rights and the health of the young men and women who serve the Senate as pages. I think we could all agree that the Senate wouldn't function well without pages. The very first Senate page was a…

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. The Senator from Tennessee.

I call up my motion to instruct conferees, which is at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the motion. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Kentucky [Mr. Paul] moves that the managers…

Last year, the Senate unanimously adopted my amendment to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to finance gain-of-function research conducted in China. My motion to instruct asks that this language be incorporated into the final bill…

I think you have no idea what disinformation is, and I do not think the government is capable of it.

Government is largely disseminating disinformation.

I have greater respect for the American people than you do. I think the American people can figure out the truth.

The U.S. Government. Are you familiar with McNamara, the Pentagon Papers? Are you familiar with George W. Bush and the weapons of mass destruction (WMD)?

The difference, I guess, between your opinion and our opinion is that as despicable as it is that CNN propagated this disinformation, I would not shut them down.

I do not guardrails. I want you to have nothing to do with speech.

reserving the right to object, we learned last week that the Department of Homeland Security has established a ``Ministry of Truth.'' They are calling it the Disinformation Governance Board--how Orwellian. Now, the details are scarce of…

We have been asking for information about nearly $100 million in loans given by the Small Business Administration unlawfully to Planned Parenthood.
