I would submit to you that you have had success in lots of areas, NOX, SOX, mercury, particulate matter, because you worked with States and stakeholders and the innovators that actually do the production of the energy met those.

My apologies to the Senator from Massachusetts for butting in. I send a question to the desk for the former President's attorneys. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question from Senator Cramer is for the counsel for the former President. The…

I will vote no on Secretary Regan's nomination and confirmation today.

Without clear commitments to oppose some policies that would economically devastate my State, I cannot support him.

We cannot return to a third term of the Obama administration policies at the EPA that will lead to job loss, economic harm, and more permanent scarring.

She is very extreme to say the least. The anti-Semitism, I've never seen anything quite like it. The anti-Semitism and the school shootings weren't real. I mean, she runs the gamut.

It can be difficult to maneuver [the bureaucracy], and how often we will actually pass legislation that is signed into law only to have it sort of either slow walked.

I was able to get language in the John Scott legislation that would authorize the Secretary of the VA to enter into public-private partnerships to research the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

I am a strong proponent of hyperbaric oxygen treatment and therapies for veterans because I have seen it work so well.

I rise to join my colleague Senator Hoeven in offering this amendment and urging our colleagues to support the amendment to strip the wind protection tax credit from this massive bill. I feel like I am living in an episode of the…

It's always an outdoor event. That was -- that would certainly help. I'm not overly concerned, no.

reserving the right to object. The only interference going on here is by Senate Democrats trying to interfere in our discussion about an outstanding nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States, Judge Amy Coney Barrett. For that…

reserving the right to object. Can we just be a little more honest? This is not about childcare. What is going on here is not about childcare, for veterans, or for anybody else. This is another attempt to prevent us from talking about the…

2 years ago, I was a candidate running for this job, running against a Democratic incumbent. The top issues of the race throughout the summer were things like the sanctity of human life, and most important in the minds of the voters--at…

reserving the right to object. Again, if the minority was serious about passing legislation, they would not have voted four times to adjourn until after the election, so it is a little hard to take this seriously, but it is especially…

reserving the right to object. I will not allow the Senate to be diverted from the issue at hand, and that is the consideration and of Amy Coney Barrett to be an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. She is a…

reserving the right to object. This is yet one more obstructionist move to prevent us from taking up Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States, a highly- qualified nominee who deserves her time in the Chamber. She…

reserving the right to object. It is really time to move on and hear from other colleagues about the incredible, outstanding qualifications of President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States, Judge Amy Coney Barrett…

Reserving the right to object. The Senate is currently considering the qualifications of an excellent nominee to be on the Supreme Court of the United States. That is why we are here. It is very important work. This request is nothing more…

Reserving the right to object, I served as an economic regulator of utilities for nearly 10 years before coming to Congress. This idea of a moratorium--a national moratorium--violates all kinds of things, not the least of which, by the…

We are confined to watching funerals on the internet, leaving us with a sense that our expressions of gratitude and emotions are inadequate to the honor that is deserved. But fortunately for the Presiding Officer and me, the U.S. Senate…

Thank you, Mr. President, for the recognition, and thank you also for your excellent tribute to Senator Mark Andrews and his amazing life of service to North Dakota and to our country. Also, thank you for switching places with me for a few…

``Farmer,'' ``fiercely independent,'' ``fiscal hawk''-- all of the good things the Presiding Officer said about him--they describe a part of Senator Mark Andrews, but to me, he is still a giant. At his funeral, the Gospel text that was…

I appreciate Senator Cardin's commitment to work together. We are all committed to that as well. I do struggle a little bit when the reasons to oppose something are all of the things that aren't in it. Sure, there is not support for State…

6 months ago, our Nation's small businesses faced an existential crisis and unprecedented threat. Like the rest of us, they didn't truly know what this virus was, how hard it would hit us, how long it would last, or what the future would…
