Mr. Chairman, if Senator Menendez----

What followed was more of the same: chaos.

Total chaos on trade is not going to create a single red, white, and blue job in America.

I think the algorithm makes sense because it has maximum effect on them and minimum effect on our consumers.

Bottom line, the Trump administration stormed into office promising better deals, more certainty for businesses to create jobs in America, and a stronger position in the world economy.

Senator Menendez, would you like to make sure you get an answer before you walk out of the room?

Trying to decipher all that news, it is hard to identify a coherent strategy that will help American workers, businesses, and farmers when the dust settles.

The fact is, China has stolen our intellectual property, held American companies hostage until they disclosed their trade secrets.

Colleagues, Senator Cornyn and I both serve on the Intelligence Committee. And we there have the responsibility to protect some of America's most important secrets.

with that amendment having been withdrawn, I ask unanimous consent that there now be 2 minutes for debate, equally divided, prior to the vote on passage. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. Who…

So, Mr. Ambassador, the President makes the final decision. You make recommendations.

as I stated several hours ago, I stand firmly with colleagues who believe more must be done to fight the scourge of sex trafficking and, particularly, to put these monsters behind bars. The bill before us, in my view, takes a flawed…

in my view, it is clear that when colleagues face so much political headwind, they don't feel comfortable supporting something I know they all believe in very deeply. I believe every Senator believes there ought to be real money to go…

pursuant to section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the waiver provisions of applicable budget resolutions, I move to waive all applicable sections of that act and applicable budget resolutions for purposes of the pending…

that is not the only problem when it comes to enforcing this law. The bill before the Senate is focused on taking down online advertisements, not on catching criminals or protecting victims. Taking down the ads doesn't mean the pimps and…

the fact is that section 230 was never about protecting the incumbents. I have spent my time in public service taking on a wide array of powerful, established interests. When I wrote this policy, I never envisioned a Facebook, but I did…

I stand on the Senate floor today in firm agreement with my colleagues that the Congress must do more to combat the scourge of sex trafficking. It is a profound and tragic failure of American institutions that trafficking continues to…

I ask unanimous consent that my hour begin now for speaking on this subject. We are a bit behind, but not much. I ask unanimous consent that the hour that has been assigned to me begin at this time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

before I begin my remarks on the legislation before us, I wish to compliment our new colleague, Senator Jones, on a superb maiden speech. I thought he was so gracious when he remembered Senator Heflin. I served with Senator Heflin, and I…

I believe strongly that Congress must do more to combat the scourge of sex trafficking and bring these monsters to justice and actually put them behind bars. I have heard my colleagues from the other side talk again and again about how…

What followed was more of the same: it was chaos.

It creates chaos, threatening to derail the discussions, or at least distract from the important issues.

I was just stunned at the brazenness of these voting machine companies.

Our country needs baseline mandatory Federal election security standards, and what I'm talking about here are paper ballots and post-election risk-limiting audits.

If you aren't the person that you say you are, you are in one heck of a bad way. You are going to face serious, serious penalties.
