reserving the right to object. I understand that multiple of my colleagues have objections to all of the nominees that the Senator from New Jersey is going to offer this evening. So I will be here to object on their behalf and also on my…
on behalf of my colleagues, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard.
had there been a recorded vote, I would have voted no on the confirmation of Executive Calendar No. 412, Rahul Gupta, of West Virginia, to be Director of National Drug Control Policy. ____________________
On January the 6th, I objected during the Electoral College certification. Maybe you heard about it.
It's wrong. It is unprecedented to my knowledge in the history of this country, and I call on you to resign.
I frankly think it is very disappointing, and I think the fact that we now have multiple whistleblowers coming to us...
However, it is a misuse of authority for a Federal employee to use his or her public office to interfere with a Presidential nomination or the Senate confirmation process.
Did you improperly use government resources to interfere with the Presidential nomination----
I am disappointed that we are here and that this is, frankly, it has come to this impasse...

If this isn’t a deliberate attempt to chill parents from showing up at school board meetings, for their elected school boards, I don’t know what is.
Is waiting to express one’s view at a school board meeting harassment and intimidation?
I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from New Jersey.
Reserving the right to object, I appreciate the earnestness on this issue from my friend and colleague the Senator from New Jersey. He mentions that something could happen in the world, that something will happen in the world. Something, I…
Just on this same point, do you have a sense of what reasons Treasury and the IRS have given for why modernization activities have been delayed in the past, in other words, why we are where we are?
I am here to talk today about a subject of urgency for our Nation but a subject that many Democrats in this body don't want to talk about. I mean Afghanistan. Thirteen American soldiers, dead; 169 civilians, dead; hundreds more American…
I think shutting down her voice and criticizing her in that way is actually very disturbing.
