the importance of finding a path to having co-responders, mental health experts also responding to the challenges that law enforcement officers are responding to seems to me to be a very important part of a new apparatus that could perhaps…

Yellen's cold and robotic reference to the issue of life is just the latest example of that.

I think framing it in the context of labor force participation is -- this feels callous to me.

this should be simple. The last 20 years, China's emissions have gone from 13 percent globally to 28 percent. At the same time, our emissions have gone from 25 percent down to 14 percent. I will start over. The last 20 years, China's…

I call up my motion to instruct conferees, which is at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the motion. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from South Carolina [Mr. Scott] moves that the…

I have great respect for Senator Carper. I think he is a man of integrity. I will simply say that China can't hear the music he is talking about. Our emissions have been going down while theirs is going up. Clean energy in this footprint…

the Biden administration's radical border policies have sent a clear message to the world--come across our Southern Border; it is wide open.

Fentanyl is the primary drug responsible for more than 100,000 American deaths in 2021.

Let us go through your numbers. Tell me how it is secure when you have two million illegal border crossings last year.

Securing the border would have an impact.

I think you have utterly failed in your duty to the American public.

You talk to families who lost their kids with these drugs, and it has skyrocketed since you have been in office.

Due to the massive influx of migrants illegally crossing, doing so because of President Biden's words and policies, it shows it is just an open invitation to illegally enter our country.

The toll that the Biden administration's failure to secure borders has had on American families is pretty devastating.

I do not believe you are doing anything to make the border secure.

I could not get the Biden administration to say anything.

I introduced the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act with Senator Klobuchar that would give the freedom to use 529 savings accounts to cover the cost of high quality workforce training, or maybe a certificate.

You basically borrowed against future revenues.

Your expectation when you bid for the contract is to 2 to 2-plus percent a year. That did not happen.

BAH has been highly unpredictable.

My Democratic colleagues disagree and want to approve trillions in additional spending.

I questioned OMB Director Young last week about the nation's financial stability and President Biden's $6 trillion proposed budget.

I think you said something that caught my attention, that one out of five Americans in the years coming will be seniors.

I believe we must support older adults aging safely in their homes through passage of bills like the Preventive Home Visit Act that I mentioned earlier, Senator King's legislation.

making sure that affordable, safe housing is a part of the primary responsibility as we think about the golden years of our seniors would be an incredibly important part of the engagement.
