Before our leader on this amendment speaks, Senator Murphy, I do want to echo what Senator Bennet said. He has been leading this charge in a bipartisan manner, pulling people together trying to get this across. I just want to echo that…

I am grateful to Senator Bennet. Senator Bennet and I met around education issues. Senator Bennet led the largest public school system in the State of Colorado. Senator Bennet has been in the weeds of education for years, if not decades. I…

This amendment provides essential information to educators, policymakers, and the public toward improving the educational outcomes for these students. I thank the Presiding Officer and yield back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from…

each year, tens of thousands of lives are lost and millions more are injured in collisions on our Nation's highways. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 40 percent of all traffic fatalities involve…

I rise today in support of my amendment, which I am offering with Senator Inhofe, Senator Grassley, Senator Ayotte, and Senator Wyden. The homeless population is at an alltime high in our country, with 1 in 45 children--or 1.6…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for an additional 18 seconds. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection.

Our solutions to this problem must work against ideals of vengeance and retribution and focus now on justice and fairness.

I have heros around me, from Representative Cummings to Bobby Scott, who have been friends of mine for a long time.

I just want to let you know it is a privilege to be able to sit before you today and talk about something that is, I think, of the utmost importance to our Nation.

I rise today to discuss the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. I rise today with the understanding that I have been a Senator for just a short while--about 19 months--and with the knowledge that I stand in a…

I'm disappointed in the portrayal of my and Senator Rubio's legislation in your testimony. I'm shocked.

That's not true. That is a false statement. And that is very frustrating.

How I would love to talk to you more about drones. You know, we share a passion for that and a desire for the United States of America to catch up to the world.

I'm confident that you and I share the goals--the same goals of increasing safety on the Nation's highways.

attacking the bill on clearly false standings is insulting.

In God we trust, but everybody else bring me data, bring me the facts.

Safety should be the first. But, it's also the impact on the infrastructure, as well.

I was actually pretty shocked at what I read.

I rise as negotiations between the P5+1 nations and Iran enter their final phase. The President deserves our thanks for his commitment to eliminating the nuclear threat we face from Iran, and we owe the negotiating team our gratitude for…

I support the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2015, an important step on the road to protecting the right to vote for all Americans. It responds to a recent Supreme Court ruling that rolled back critical voting protections that had proven…

if I may take one more moment, today, as I understand, or tomorrow is the last day for this group of pages to be here with us. I have been in this Senate now a little bit longer than this group of pages--about 20 months now. We see these…

the tragic Amtrak derailment last month shined a light on the critical need to have a strong, safe passenger rail system for the millions of passengers traveling on our rails. My heart goes out to the families and individuals impacted by…

These days it is surprising to see somebody letting New Jersey go before Iowa.

I do want to just give some gratitude to Senator Wicker who has been a strong partner with me in working to advance some critical issues.

It seems stunning to me that we have this slant that goes sort of away, that the system is so skewed against when it comes to drones and UAS technology.
