if you buy a new GM car, a Nissan, Honda, Kia or Toyota, even a Hyundai, you will notice they have started installing a new feature in their cars. It is a reminder, when you turn off the engine, to check your backseat. Quite frankly, I…

I would submit that we have to find an earlier warning sign.

Thank you, Dr. Yellen, thanks again for stepping back into government service. It is not an easy thing for anyone to be able to step in, and especially in this season.

Constitutional crisis in our country right now is that millions of Americans are being told to sit down and shut up. Their opinions matter.

My challenge today is not about the good people of Arizona. ____________________

Mr. Vice President, you said things more eloquently than how we say it in Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, we say something like: Why in God's name would someone think attacking law enforcement and occupying the United States Capitol is the best way…

in America, we settle our differences in elections. What happens if you don't trust the election count or you are concerned that so many courts denied or dismissed cases within hours after they were given thousands of pages of evidence…

Pause the count, get more facts to the states before January the 20th. We proposed a 15-member commission just like what was done after the failed election of 1876. This -- we’re encouraging people to spend days going through all the…

They want to do the right thing and they also want to do it the right way. They want to honor the constitutional process, but they also want to have debate about election security.

Rioters and thugs don't run the Capitol. We are the United States of America.

I will be brief. I did what many of us did today. We spent the day digging through a 5,600-page bill, trying to find out what is in it. We broke it up into hundreds of pages of chunks and separated it among our staff and just started…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to legislative session to be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

this all feels strangely familiar. It is the middle of December. We are facing a government shutdown, arguing behind the scenes over the final details, discussing whether we are going to do a short-term CR, wondering what is going to…

four different times in the last 4 months, we have had votes on this floor to talk about COVID relief. There is a real need to be able to give relief to a lot of people in my State, and, quite frankly, in States around the country. There…

in my neighborhood and my community, you can walk down the street and visit with some really great neighbors--Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus. They all live in the same neighborhood and are friends. My kids are grown now. We watched all…

the election is still not settled.

There's nothing wrong with Vice President Biden getting the briefings to be able to prepare himself and so that he can be ready.

There is nothing wrong with vice-president Biden getting the briefings to be able to prepare himself and so that he can be ready. The president is already getting those. There is nothing wrong with former vice-president getting those.

We should be in the same posture that we ran throughout the whole campaign with both of them receiving briefings.

There's nothing wrong with Vice President Biden getting the briefings to be able to prepare himself. And if that's not occurring Friday, I will step in as well and to be able to push them and say, this needs to occur.

GSA has to certify that election to start turning it around. I'm on a committee of oversight, I've already started engaging in this area. There's nothing wrong with Vice President Biden getting the briefings to be able to prepare himself…

today in Oklahoma, people are going to work, people are going to school, people are on their job, people are in their yard, people are on bikes, people are going for a quiet run in beautiful weather because tomorrow is Veterans Day. We…

for the past several years, I have heard some pretty remarkable stories from the other side of the aisle and from the national media. We heard from an Atlantic article that the President called servicemembers killed in action ``losers.''…

I spent some one-on-one time yesterday with Amy Coney Barrett. I had the opportunity to be able to ask her questions about agency deference, about religious liberty, and about the responsibility of the three branches of government and the…

we are once again in a conversation about freedom of religion and the free exercise of religion and what that means. Very simply, I would argue that it means the ability to have any faith, to have no faith at all, to change your faith, and…
