today I wish to recognize the 100th anniversary of the American Red Cross, Northern and Southern Nevada Chapters. The Northern and Southern Nevada Chapters of the American Red Cross were established during World War I, when a small group…
I reserve my right to object. It is stunning that my friend from Pennsylvania would come to the floor and abandon all the principles we have heard the new Republican majority wants in the Senate. First of all, how about having a hearing…
I came to the floor at his convenience. I am busy, and I am sure he is busy. I came to the floor to be a gentleman, and I allowed him to go first. I have a speech to give. I came here, and I agreed to the Republican leader's request. I…
Yes, it was. Mr. McCONNELL. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
if I could direct a question to my friend through the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Pennsylvania yield?
I object to the initial request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard to the original request. The Senator from Pennsylvania.
You can't believe how much solar energy. At one place driving from Railroad Pass to my property on Searchlight, you can drive for three and a half miles and all you see are solar panels.
Nevada is different than most people think. Nevada is more than the bright lights of Las Vegas.
my entire caucus got the message. We understand Einstein's definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and the over and over again, my friend should understand, is the fact that Republicans have voted 70 times to…
It is really a beautiful state, and the legislation that Senator Heller and I have worked on in this regard is also as part of the beauty of Nevada.
Eighty-six percent of the State of Nevada is owned by the Federal Government.
So wilderness is important for the economy of any state, and with a sparsely populated area like Pershing County, it is also popular.
I learned a long time ago here in the Senate that the rules of the Senate do not allow pictures, graphs, and things of that nature to go in the Congressional Record, and that is really too bad. I wish I had the time this morning--I read…
the Republican-led Senate recently returned from the longest summer recess in more than a half a century. It is depicted here in the chart I wish to share with my colleagues. The black lines are when we are not working. Where there are not…
working people in our great country are tired of being ripped off by really rich people--some who are billionaires and some who claim they are billionaires. During the financial crisis, Wall Street took Main Street to the cleaners. Oh, did…
I have been asked a number of times walking into my office this morning if there has been an agreement on the Zika funding and the continuing resolution, which is to keep our government open and funded. No, we have not is the answer. We…
many Americans are taking the news about this weekend's terror attacks in New Jersey, New York, and even Minnesota very seriously. As a country, we are always stunned when these violent acts occur, and we are absolutely sickened by the…
I want to switch from my friend Tim Mitchell to another friend I have. Ten years ago, I was in search of a scheduler. I needed someone to help with my scheduling and work here in my Capitol office. The office is just a few feet from here…
today I recognize Governor John Bel Edwards, who is celebrating his 50th birthday on September 16, 2016. Governor Edwards is a committed public servant who has dedicated his career to improving the lives of Louisiana residents. A Louisiana…
They are on the same side as my bad eye, folks. We are all pretty good at what we do, but we would be lost without the Tim Mitchells and Gary Myricks of the world. We would be stumbling around here. We depend on them so very much. Tim has…
the piece is very, very thorough. So I am only going to quote a few things because of the time of the Senate. No. 1, the article says that, if elected, Donald Trump would be ``the most conflicted president in American history,'' and…
Politicians like Harry Reid
