During the drought, the emergency haying and grazing is just so incredibly important.

We are lucky to have you in your role because you really do understand grazing.

I share your concern that there may be more to the increased prices for fertilizer and other inputs than just supply and demand.

USDA would welcome the opportunity to formally review any pesticide decisions, including tolerance actions.

We had USDA conduct an investigation that didn't really drive to ground some of these accusations about anti-competitive behavior.

I think price discovery is critically important to a functioning marketplace.

I think the current 'Product of the USA' label is misleading.

The danger they struggled against never fully disappeared. Instead, it festered under the surface.

We are now facing an all-out attack on Black voters by a former president, State governors, Federal and State legislators.

I am here to speak for Members and activists of the NAACP across the country.

Our democracy may be standing in it`s vital our, the bedrock of freedom in America lies in our sacred right to vote. We still have time to act, but the window of opportunity is rapidly narrowing.

I think it is fantastic we have got two Tribal chairmen here. And I think it augers for a very good process.

There are other technologies that have been proven ways to offset carbon or to minimize the carbon footprint, and of course, biofuels is a huge one.

The full faith and credit of this country is important. The full faith in our democracy is also important.

We must adopt voting right protections to ensure that voters can elect candidates of their choice and that we can have a true representative democracy.

We cannot advance public policy if we`re not protecting the right of voters to participate.

There is no more urgent issue before the Senate at this time than voting right protections.

I now invite the Senate to observe a moment of silence in memory of and to recognize those killed, injured, and forever impacted by the attack on the Waukesha Christmas parade on November 21, 2021. (Moment of silence.)

So we are advocating for the federal governments to go into local jurisdiction to investigate prosecutions, and convict those who are causing harm to distance.

We need to reform our justice system, we need police reform, we need more accountable DAs.

We have a problem with our prosecutions system. We have a problem with the lack of representation for indigenous defendants.

Until we address race, it will continuously be used as a tool.

It was an injustice. This was worse than the Emmitt Till trial.

We cannot have a justice system that is unjust. We have a legal system that`s void of justice for African-Americans and Latinos across the country, and in many cases, poor whites as well.

This is the legacy of the Trump administration. It is about the otherness and emboldened so many people.
