I truly believe we are here to serve and not to be served.

There is no shortage of places for the IRS to put its resources.

We should be mining more here in the U.S. instead of depending on foreign countries that have less stringent standards.

In bringing nuclear energy to Montana, it would help create more high-paying jobs.

Nothing in the act prevents States from enacting a broad variety of tax cuts.

This astonishing level of meddling by Congress in State fiscal affairs should be troubling to anyone.

Thank you. I know this is not going to be a debate on climate change, and I think all of us agree there is climate change.

this is such classic virtue signaling, even though the pipeline is the safest way and most environmentally sound way to move oil.

I rise to share my objections to the nomination of Xavier Becerra to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. With $1.3 trillion of spending in Health and Human Services, that Department has the largest budget of the entire executive…

We are making great strides. We are getting shots in arms across the country, currently at a pace of over 2 million per day.

The reality is that more than one-third of all U.S. COVID-19 deaths are linked to long-term care facilities.

Extreme social isolation can have very serious health consequences and can even be deadly.

We must do more to support our nursing home residents, many of whom have suffered with increased depression, anxiety, and worsening dementia due to COVID restrictions, and the isolation.

Senator Stabenow and Senator Manchin and I recently introduced a bipartisan bill called the American Jobs in Energy Manufacturing Act.

One part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that I am particularly proud of is that 20-percent deduction for pass-through businesses.

Montana has a rich outdoor heritage. It is something we are known for not just across the country but even around the world and something, as Montanans, we are very proud of. In fact, for generations, Montana families have enjoyed hunting…

If the Biden Administration moves blindly, which we are seeing them doing today, to shut down all fossil fuel generation, that balance will be threatened and reliability concern turns into a stark reality.

There is a real threat that during peak conditions we could face the same issues that we have seen in places like California, Texas and others most recently.

I remember I was just struck when it came to Congress, hydro is not classified as a renewable source of energy.

I have a motion to commit at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the motion. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Montana [Mr. Daines] moves to commit the bill H.R. 1319 to the…

this motion to commit will send this bill back to the Foreign Relations Committee to include authorization of the Keystone XL Pipeline in the final bill. In fact, as we saw earlier this morning, the Keystone XL Pipeline has bipartisan…

The only thing that has been killed is the Keystone XL Pipeline by President Biden. This resurrects the Keystone XL Pipeline. The union jobs are needed. The rural communities need these tax revenues for their schools. This is what we want…

well, I want to thank my colleague from West Virginia, Senator Capito, for clearly laying out her concerns with this COVID package. I think about where we were a year ago. We were right here in this Chamber. It was March of 2020, and we…

I hope everyone can agree that this instability at the top of an agency with such vast power is frightening.

outrage--that is what American families should be feeling right now, and many are. We are seeing President Biden and the Democrats support opening the border, the southern border, for illegal immigrants while bowing to political pressure…
