“we are now at the 6-month mark of the 119th Congress, and it has been an incredibly productive 6 months here in the Senate. We had the longest continuous work period in 15 years. We have taken more rollcall votes so far this year than at the same point in any year since at least 1989. We confirmed the 21 members of the President's Cabinet at the fastest pace in more than 20 years. We passed 18 measures to overturn the burdensome Biden administration regulations. We confirmed 10 Ambassadors in the President's first 100 days--the most since at least the Reagan administration. We passed two budget resolutions to advance President Trump's tax relief agenda. We passed multiple pieces of bipartisan legislation. That includes the Laken Riley Act, which requires detention for illegal immigrants who steal, assault a law enforcement officer, or seriously injure or kill a person; the HALT Fentanyl Act, which permanently schedules fentanyl-related substances as the most deadly type of drug and gives law enforcement a critical tool to prosecute those who bring those deadly substances into our country; and the GENIUS Act, which will help ensure that the United States can continue to be a leader in financial innovation and will allow Americans to exercise financial freedom with confidence. And then, of course, we passed our reconciliation bill, which the President signed into law on July 4.”
