There are groceries in my refrigerator that are going to last longer than Mitch McConnell's unemployment agenda.

You'll have an opportunity, if confirmed, to immediately turn the page on the excessive secrecy and lawlessness of the outgoing Administration.

The abuses here take your breath away, and it really is a dodge on all the legal protections Americans have.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yes. That language was not intended to limit retroactive compensation for individuals who were previously advised by a State, that they were ineligible for PUA, nor was it intended to limit retroactive compensation for individuals who have…

I thank the Senator from Virginia. On another topic, the vice chairman and I worked together to include in the IAA a number of critically important provisions protecting whistleblowers. Again, at the insistence of the House Intelligence…

Before Senator Cardin leaves the floor, I want to tell my colleague and friend on the Finance Committee that it has been a pleasure to team up with him to try to deal with these challenges in terms of getting the help out to small business…

So would Senator Brown be saying that if it is found that there were labor violations at a car factory, the penalties could apply to any car that might come into the United States from that factory throughout the investigation, not just…

If you would, Senator Brown, take us through what kinds of actions can be taken against a facility. In other words, my understanding is, if the labor inspectors find violations when they inspect it, they have a host of remedies. The…

That is correct. All gasoline includes butane and, as far as I am aware, always has. Adding butane during the gasoline refining process is simply how gasoline is produced. The idea that Congress intended oil companies to benefit from a…

My understanding--and, again, I have listened to my colleague on the Finance Committee. He is a champion on not going back, but going forward with more Medicare-type choices. Like making that person who is really wondering if they are…

Today I am lifting my hold on the nomination of Elizabeth Darling to be Commissioner on Children, Youth, and Families at the Department of Health and Human Services. I will not object to any unanimous consent request concerning the…

These vast troves of Americans' personal information are a ripe target for attackers.

If the government collects sensitive information about Americans, it is responsible for protecting it--and that's just as true if it contracts with a private company.

Stock prices and dividends should never undermine the safety of our nation's railroads.

The Department should be working with the BIE to adhere to the federal trust responsibility to provide all American Indian students the opportunity to learn and achieve academic success.

The worst decision for security, short of leaving ballot boxes on a Moscow street corner.

Just before they leave, I thank both Senator Whitehouse and Senator Van Hollen for conveying the urgency behind this climate change issue. Both of them have gone through the specifics of what this is all about. Suffice it to say, I share…

Today I have introduced the Retirement Parity for Student Loans Act. This legislation would permit employers to make matching contributions to workers under 401(k) and similar types of retirement plans as if worker student loan payments…

I will continue to follow these precedents in the interpretation of longstanding and newly enacted Federal tax law.

I'm fortunate and proud to have worked with him--just in the last few years--on a 10-year extension of the Children's Health Insurance Program.

Senator Hatch had a record of legislative accomplishment that would match up against anybody else's.

He has always been passionate about representing the people of Utah and the work this committee does.

It has been a privilege to work closely with Chairman Hatch on this committee over the past 5 years.

I am a vigorous supporter of same.
