I think we are all disappointed that Vice Chair Clarita did not disclose his active trading in late February 2020.

the need to protect our credibility with the public very seriously, and I think our new system is easily the toughest in Government and the toughest I have seen anywhere.

I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 12 noon, Friday, January 7; that follow the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date…

this morning, I have been listening to my colleagues, watching the news, watching our President, and reflecting on this day a year ago and where I was during this incredible insurrection that we now know happened on the Capitol. I was in…

I introduced the Western Wildfire Support Act, which would allow communities in Nevada and across the West to access training, equipment, and funding they need to combat the increasing amount of land at risk of burnup.

When they occur, it is imperative that the Federal Government comes to the aid of people who have lost everything.

Thank you for the question.

Tribes that opt to exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction can cut through the legal red tape.

That vote, one of the first that I took as a new member of the Senate and of this Committee, was Congress' first real step toward restoring justice for Native communities.

To include coverage of protection?

I strongly believe that Congress must not only reauthorize VAWA, but strengthen it to ensure that tribes can effectively prosecute crimes against women, children, and law enforcement in Indian Country.

Tribal governments are American governments, too, and that as such, they are no less worthy of our trust, respect and dignity.

I am thankful for my partnership with Vice Chair Murkowski.

Granting tribes the power to prosecute just one kind of crime simply doesn't reflect the reality of how crime happens.

These are just a few of the commonsense bipartisan solutions that our Committee can and should work to advance.

Right now, what happens if a tribal officer is responding to a domestic violence call, and the non-Indian suspect attacks the officer?

I cannot thank you enough for having this conversation today on such an important issue.

To me, that is just unacceptable that children are falling through the cracks of laws meant to combat violence in Indian Country.

Doing nothing is not an option.

I appreciate that because I have concerns that the Federal Home Loan Banks are not meeting the needs of all the communities.
