We are holding this briefing today because American public deserves to hear from the Department of Defense, not play politics with the National Security.

Montanans and folks all across this country value their freedom, they value their privacy.

We need to stop that from happening because it puts our National Security and our food security at risk.

We are going to get the right person in front of us to get those questions answered, because I think this is a very serious matter that China has decided to do.

I do not think anything out there is a coincidence when it comes to surveillance. I think everything is very well planned out.

This is unacceptable. China needs to know it's unacceptable and they need to knock this stuff off.

To have a Chinese surveillance balloon flying over a State like Montana, which has our ICBMs and is critical to deterrence to any sort of conflict is disturbing, to say the least.

I think the filibuster does serve an important purpose, and it certainly is one of the things that makes the Senate different than the House, and thank God for that.

I think that Kyrsten Sinema knows that, and I think whether she's a Democrat or she's a Republican, that really doesn't matter.

Functioning from a functioning standpoint, nothing changes.

I am disappointed VA has not implemented the law we passed two years ago to end copays for VA health care for Native veterans.

I wish to say this: The Senator from Utah has every right to object, and he has every right to get his questions answered, but we are 2 years into this administration. I hear every day folks from the other side of the aisle get up and rail…

This amendment is actually quite simple. It is to make sure that we have a comprehensive plan in place before title 42 is lifted. Very straightforward. This is not whether title 42 should ever be lifted or not; rather, it is about making…

We do not have any immigration policy in this country, quite frankly, and we need one

Look, I come from Montana, and many Montanans have had trouble finding available housing.
