Every one of them told me that they felt they had been disenfranchised, that their votes didn't matter, that the election had been rigged. These are normal, reasonable people. These are not crazy people.

I am here to talk about who runs America--the big tech giants or the American people? I am here to talk about the big tech oligarchs' attempts to install themselves as the de facto ruling class of this country, to usurp the power of the…

I would agree that it is a problem that we can't get hearings or votes on serious tech legislation. That is a problem. The Senator makes my point. That is exactly the problem, and that is exactly what one gets from Big Tech's significant…

It's a hard no. It's a red line. Don't give money to blue states.

Now, I just heard my colleague Senator Coons make a reference to an old case, the Griswold case, which I can only assume is another hit at Judge Barrett's religious faith, referring to the Catholic doctrinal beliefs. I don't know what else…

I will just say to my friend, the Democratic Senator describes a world that just doesn't exist. He says Section 230 protects the little guy? Section 230 protects the most powerful corporations in the history of the world. Google and…

we are 40 days today from a general election--40 days--40 days until the American people make their choice, or at least that is the idea. But there are a group of people who seem intent on influencing the people's choice, on manipulating…

I now ask for a second reading, and in order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my own request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection having been heard, the bill will be read for the second time on…

Two months ago, I pledged to vote only for SCOTUS nominees who understand acknowledge that Roe was wrongly decided. I stand by that commitment. I call my fellow Republican senators take the same stand today.

I come to the floor today to address the growing crisis in our country, in our cities and towns across our country: a crisis of law and order, yes, a crisis of the rule of law, a crisis of confidence, a crisis of solidarity. As our cities…

I would like to make a few brief remarks today about TikTok, an app that has dominated the news in recent weeks and has dominated the internet in recent years. As most of you know, TikTok is used to create short music videos, and it has…
