I thank my colleague for her good work. Senator Casey and Senator Brown have been two champions of the child tax credit. Let's start with Senator Casey. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Pennsylvania.

Senator Bennet, you have been leading on these issues for a long time, and I want to take special note of a message for tomorrow. We have all been reading the press and the discussion about what is going on, sometimes thousands of miles…

before he leaves, I just want to say one of the most powerful things Senator Brown often says on the Finance Committee is: Whose side are you on? And Senator Brown always is on the side of communities where everybody has a chance to get…

I ask unanimous consent that Janice Lepore, a fellow in our office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Senator Whitehouse, thank you very much for your comments, particularly if you are talking about the immediacy of what is in this bill. I have had small businesses come to me--I am sure Senator Hassan has, too--and they say, look, if this…

Senator Casey, one of the things that I most appreciate about the Senator's services, when we bring up a bill, you invariably say: What does it mean for the kids who are hurting? We thank you for it. Senator Brown. The PRESIDING OFFICER…

what we have heard from our friend from New Hampshire is: It is time for results, not just rhetoric. Our last speaker will be Senator Padilla, our friend from the West. Senator Padilla. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California.

I thank my colleague. And Senator Cornyn said I could take a second to add on. I think my colleague from California has made a central point. In the West, in particular, we want to make sure that those who have been clobbered by these…

after months of negotiations, the Kids Online Safety Act, KOSA, has been improved, thanks to hard work by Commerce Chair Cantwell and Leader Schumer. The changes that I, LGBTQ+ advocates, parents, student activists, civil rights groups and…

I ask unanimous consent that Aaron Moss and Allison Carter, fellows in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I come to the floor today to again voice my strong support for the nominations of Adam Landy and Kashi Way to serve as judges of the United States Tax Court. The Senate will be voting on their nominations soon, Mr. Way's in just a few…

as a parent of young children, I certainly understand the impulse to shield children from harmful or inappropriate content online. That is why I wrote section 230 of the Communications Act back in 1996--to empower companies to offer tools…

I come to the floor today to state my strong support for Judge Mustafa Kasubhai's nomination to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. There are a number of reasons why I believe Judge Kasubhai's nomination is…

I rise and want to thank my colleague from Washington State who has been leading on these issues for years and years and my friend from Illinois. And what I am going to do just briefly, my colleagues have been so eloquent, is talk about…

To me, this isn't how legislation should be written, and it adds to distrust.

I think in a democracy it's important that our laws be transparent and public to the maximum extent possible.

This is going to be an ongoing kind of process between, you know, sources and methods--got to be secret--and public law so people can sit in a coffee shop and figure out what in the world is going on back here.

current FISA law prohibits the Intelligence Community from collecting GPS information on Americans overseas without a warrant.

I absolutely think the public has a strong interest.
