The Public Record
today marks the fifth time that Republicans have asked to end debate and allow us to discuss funding the Department of Homeland Security. So for the people at home that don't keep up with Senate procedures, what the Democrats have actually…
for those who are not familiar with what actually happens here in Washington, DC, as I stated earlier, for the fifth time, Democrats have blocked to end debate on whether 260,000 families should get paid for the work that they have done…
So nobody on your side has agreed to fund USCIS. You have not suggested that. USCIS is an independent part of the Department of Homeland Security.
So Homeland Investigations is part of ICE. There are 7,000 special agents that work for ICE that stop transnational criminals. You are not suggesting that we not fund them, are you?
Look, I appreciate--and I know you are a person of good character, by the way. I genuinely believe that. But that is not what you are asking for. You are asking to fund just TSA, meaning the question is this: Why would we use 260,000…
I am not sure what I just heard because I just offered to fund TSA. I just offered to fund the Coast Guard, FEMA, Customs and Border Patrol, Secret Service, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, USCIS, Homeland Security…
I would like to continue exactly the themes my colleague from Vermont brought up, except I think, before we talk about artificial intelligence, we should talk about natural intelligence. It absolutely goes against natural intelligence for…
That has not been suggested by any Democrat. I appreciate that you are. Nobody has agreed to fund the bioweapons of mass destruction Agency-- not been suggested. You have specifically--not you personally--the Democrat Senators have…
I would like to, of course, join him in recognizing Capt. Seth Koval, Capt. Curtis Angst, and MSgt Tyler Simmons, who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America and gave their lives for our country. You see them pictured…
as you know, I have only had the honor--I call it an honor honestly--the honor to serve as a U.S. Senator for 14 months. Every day when I drive down Pennsylvania, make a left on Constitution, and see the sunrise over the Capitol, I…
I understand the political pressures. I really do. We will see that sometimes appealing to a certain voter bloc--maybe it makes us popular. But I want to read you a quote from the deputy Democrat whip--a senior appropriator, by the…
I rise today to address a crisis that strikes at the heart of what makes our Nation exceptional: the American dream. Like many who came before me, I came to America with my family to find my version of that American dream. For generations…
As somebody that actually came to this country from a foreign land legally, I find it decently insulting that you would paint a picture of immigrants coming here to be dependent on the government. Let me just tell you, the exact opposite…
I rise today to propose a very simple bill that I think most Americans can understand. It has a very simple basic principle: If you are on any type of government aid, you are restricted from sending money overseas. It is pretty…
I will remind the Senator: I in no way disparaged your family. I didn't even mention your family. What I did mention is that you made the point that we are harming immigrants who come here who might be dependent on social safety net…
I rise today with deep personal gratitude and profound admiration to honor a legendary American, Roger S. Penske. This past Friday, February 20, marked his 89th birthday. Born in Shaker Heights, OH, Roger Penske has made America better and…
Would you have a hard time walking into this building, Senator, and seeing those Capitol Police officers out there and your staff and knowing that you voted not to pay them?
If you get private insurance from a small business like the one I used to own, do these Biden-era COVID subsidies lower your healthcare costs?
So none of the people I just mentioned--not union workers, not people on Medicare, not people on Medicaid, not people on private insurance, not unions that have negotiated incredible rates-- none of them will see lower healthcare costs; am…
Correct. And they were $7,500. You could lease a Rolls-Royce, a Mercedes, a Lamborghini, and if you did that, the government would give you $7,500. I want the American people to think about that when they understand how far gone the…
If you are somebody on Medicare, no matter where you are in America, do these COVID-era, Biden, ObamaCare subsidies lower your deductibles?
To your knowledge, was there a hearing last year, in 2024, in which the Democrats got together and said: ``Whoa, of these Biden-era COVID ObamaCare subsidies, we set them to expire in 2025. We should really make them permanent or extend…
Thank you to the Democrat leader for yielding for a question. Have you put forward a proposal that we could read that you reference in your speech, which says a clean continuing resolution, with the extension of the ACA Biden credits?
Politicians like Bernie Moreno
