I know of no further debate on the measures, en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no further debate, the question is on agreeing to the resolutions, en bloc. The resolutions (S. Res. 768, S. Res. 769, S. Res. 770, S. Res. 771, S…

I am pleased to be here today to talk about the 2021 appropriations bill that we filed this week for Labor, for Health and Human Services, and for Education. Obviously, with what we have gone through this year, those three agencies have…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to legislative session and be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

I ask unanimous consent that the preambles be agreed to en bloc and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, all en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The preambles were…

The president wasn't defeated by huge numbers. In fact, he may not have been defeated at all.

let me just follow right on with that important topic of the vote we will have in a few days to send another Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court. I had the opportunity this morning to meet with Judge Barrett. The conversation reminded me…

in accordance with rule 23 of the Rules of Procedure of the Committee on Rules and Administration and pursuant to Senate Rule XXXIII, on October 7, 2020, the Committee on Rules and Administration adopted the ``United States Senate Chamber…

I want to talk for a few minutes about securing our election process. At various times, in the last 4 years, there have been different levels of reasons why the Federal Government needed to take over the election process. For a while, it…

as we all know and as any American who has watched the news over the summer knows, there has been a terrible increase in crime in America's cities. Assaults, shootings, murders have been higher this year, and my home State has not been…

I think the President of the United States has done the things he can do within his authority to try to address the issues before us, but the truth is, his authority just doesn't go far enough. Now, I have frequently questioned the…

the second topic I wanted to talk about is that we spend lots of time discussing what to do in this next phase of dealing with the coronavirus legislation. I want to talk about something we did earlier and the results it has produced. In…

I want to talk about two topics today. One topic I was reminded of when I was in St. Joseph and Joplin, MO, over the weekend, talking to healthcare providers and volunteers of all kinds who are trying to do what they can to help us emerge…

I want to talk about the portion of the bill that we have made available to our colleagues and the country this week after lots of input from our colleagues on the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education part of the bill. It is…

I am always pleased to be on the floor with my good friend from Oklahoma, Mr. Lankford, but I am particularly glad I was able to be here today. Early, in his remarks, he was talking about a family, remembering that family in prayer, and…

reserving the right to object, I could make this really simple by just saying: Look at everything I said last week about this same bill, but I know that Senator Klobuchar is here in good faith trying to be sure we call attention to this…

I heard your comments earlier today--and I couldn't agree more--on the importance of us dealing with the issues that were on the floor today that we failed to deal with. I heard our good friend Senator Scott's response to the way his hard…

reserving the right to object and with great consideration for Senator Klobuchar's dedication on these issues, many of which, as she has pointed out, we have worked together on, and I think we will continue to, I just don't think this is…

reserving the right to object, let me say that we just got this bill assigned to the Rules Committee. The bill would have the effect of abandoning agreements we have entered into with the States and the States have entered into with us. I…

over the weekend we celebrated Flag Day, when we honor our country's flag as a symbol of unity. It is also a symbol of all of the struggles we have gone through as a nation and the struggles ahead of us. Harry Truman, whose desk--one of…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Scott of…

This bill was just assigned to our committee. This is a discussion that, I guess appropriately, we might have had before I was asked to come to the floor to assert the rights of the committee, to have the opportunity to think about that. I…
