I feel that the FTC needs to work in perhaps a different way to make financial institutions more aware.

I think that we need to have a committee study this fairly in depth so that we can solve this long-term and not have to address it multiple times in the next few years.

The system is inadequate and out of date.

You want businesses to thrive, and you want to be able to produce at a lowest cost possible.

We are in the midst of a modern-day dairy crisis.

Should future FMMO reforms include a make allowance for farmers to credit some of the cost of producing milk?

I would like to see these large farms that are out of control maybe get cutoff a little sooner to sort of teach everybody else that expand within your abilities of management.

Dairy is a bedrock industry in Vermont and the Northeast. It anchors our rural economies for generations.

I would rather see it take a little longer and be complete and done well than to be rushed and then have to go back and redo the whole process again.

I would like to thank Senator Gillibrand for her work on making the current Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program so responsive to the needs of the small dairy farms during this period of sky-high feed prices and inadequate milk prices.

Part of the beauty of living in the United States is that we have the freedom to take on things in a way that we want to.

In the dairy business, get big or get out.

the 2018 Farm Bill change to the Class I mover resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in lost income for dairy farmers.

How were different processors affected in terms of profit and loss? What would you recommendation be for reforming and updating pooling rules?

I think whole milk in schools would be wise. I know my children only will drink whole milk.

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There is a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll

I rise to join my colleagues in support of the Build Back Better plan budget resolution, which recognizes that care infrastructure is critical infrastructure. We know that our economy has not been working for working families. Then, we saw…

I rise in support of this amendment. It is a bipartisan amendment with Senator Wicker. And this is about just giving basic safety regulations to those superlong, stretch limousines. The reason why Senator Schumer and I care about this…

This is nothing new. Russia has attempted to steal our technology through investments, through exchange students, through cyber operations.

shouldn't this basic foreign agent information be affirmatively provided to American consumers, so they can make informed decisions about where the foreign state-sponsored news is actually coming from?

I think there has to be some responsibility to the purveyors of this information to have a way to know if they are foreign agents.
