Along with my colleague and friend, Senator Claire McCaskill, I am introducing the Stamp Out Elder Abuse Act of 2018, a bill that seeks to help combat the abuse and financial exploitation of our nation's seniors. Our bill would create a…

I rise today regarding remarks I made on October 5, 2018, on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. In reference to Justices O'Connor, Souter, and Kennedy, I misspoke and should have said that pro-choice groups opposed two of the nominations…

I rise to support the nomination of Justice Lance Walker of Maine to serve on the U.S. District Court for the State of Maine. With nearly two decades of experience as both an attorney and as a judge in Maine, Justice Walker is…

Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, the five previous times that I have come to the floor to explain my vote on the nomination of a Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, I have begun my floor remarks explaining my decision with a…

To my knowledge, Judge Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court nominee to express the view that precedent is not merely a practice and tradition but rooted in Article 3 of our Constitution itself. He believes that precedent is not just a…

I was proud of her this afternoon. I'm very glad that Brett Kavanaugh will all in likelihood be on the Supreme Court.

The process was too rancorous but then she's rewarding the rancor.

I rise today to urge my colleagues to support the Home Health Payment Innovation Act, which I have introduced with Senator Stabenow and Senator Nelson. Our legislation would help preserve access to existing home health services under the…

As you know, diabetic patients in our system on an annual basis cost about 75 percent more than the general population.

I was appalled by the President's tweet. First of all, we know that allegations of sexual assault -- I'm not saying that's what happened in this case, but we know that allegations of sexual assault are one of the most unreported crimes…

it seems very arbitrary to me to exclude potentially 85 million Americans from the protections this bill would provide when there is such a clear Federal nexus to act in this area. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 58 percent of…

I ask unanimous consent that I have one minute to respond to my friend and colleague. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I rise in support of the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act, which is legislation that I have introduced with Senators McCaskill, Barrasso, Stabenow, and Cassidy. Our bill has also been cosponsored by Chairman Lamar Alexander and 19…

If you are an inauthentic account, if you are pretending to be someone you're not, you come down.

I would close my questioning by encouraging both of you to work more closely with academia, with our government.

We need to tell people that they were taken in or victims--innocent victims--of a foreign influence campaign.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First let me thank you both for being here and also to express my outrage that your counterpart at Google is not at the table as well.

today along with Senator Carper, I am introducing the Comprehensive National Mercury Monitoring Act. This bill would ensure that we have accurate information about the extent of mercury pollution in the United States. A comprehensive…

the U.S. Senate, indeed, our entire Nation, is mourning the loss of a great leader, an American patriot, our colleague and friend, Senator John McCain. I first met John McCain when I was a young staffer in Senator Bill Cohen's office and…

what a pleasure it is to be here on the Senate floor with such determined advocates on behalf of the families all across our Nation who are dealing with this devastating disease of Alzheimer's. I spoke earlier in the week about the many…
