In an economy where currency and circulation isn't backed up by any tangible object and where the government has effectively the ability to just print more money, even if that currency happens to be the world's reserve currency, at some…

we had a number of Senators come to the floor over the last couple of hours talking about some of the problems that we face as a country. They are real, they are serious, and they are being made more severe still and more severe than they…

I appreciate the insight and the thoughtful attention paid to this matter by my friend and distinguished colleague, the Senator from Washington. I respectfully submit that we are not dealing with theatrics when it comes to hard-working…

President Biden announced his vague, still- unwritten mandate for the vaccine just almost a month ago. He said then, at the time of his announcement, that his ``patience was wearing thin.'' Those are his words, not mine. Yet, oddly…

we have a debt ceiling for a reason. It is not completely arbitrary. It is not just made up. It is not something that someone came up with for their own amusement. No. When the sheer numeric volume, the quantity, the amount of our national…

Senator Paul, when you and I were both elected to the Senate back in 2010, I remember the national debt was an issue then. It was becoming large enough that people were concerned about it. As it mounted, sometimes we had conversations…

reserving the right to object, article II of the Constitution gives this body some important responsibilities, including the responsibility to provide advice and consent on Officers of the United States. We have to confirm people after…

reserving the right to object. One hundred years ago, not many people could have imagined, certainly not predicted within a degree of accuracy, the kinds of technological advances that we have seen over the last century that have allowed…

I appreciate the insight from my friend and distinguished colleague, the Senator from Connecticut. I want to be very clear: The limited focus of this bill--the bill that I offered up for passage in the Senate today--is narrow. It has one…

last week, I came to the Senate floor no fewer than three times and invited my colleagues to pass bills to protect millions of Americans at risk of losing their jobs, their livelihoods, due to President Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate…

I`m compelled to speak out because of the real risks of the clock being turned back to those days before Roe versus Wade, to the days when I was a teenager and had a back alley abortion in Mexico. I was one of the lucky ones, madam chair…

As a black woman, these state level abortion bans are deadly. I`m compelled to speak out because of the real risks of the clock being turned back to those days before Roe versus Wade, to the days when I was a teenager and had a back alley…

I don’t want any woman to ever have to go through that. I think it is my duty now as hard as this is to talk about it because I know it is going to happen again if we don’t stop what is taking place.

So many women I knew especially black women died of back alley abortions. I was one of those that survived and I think it`s my duty now as hard as this is to talk about it, because I know it`s going to happen again if we don`t stop what`s…

back in 1987, a 23-year-old mill worker named George Alexander struck a tree spike--a tree spike like this one--in the log that he was processing. His sawblade shattered, and it caused a wound stretching from his eye all the way down to…

immunizations are nothing new. To a degree, immunization requirements might not be new, but sweeping immunization mandates issued by a single individual within the Federal Government-- that is, the President of the United States--are…

as if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on HELP be discharged from further consideration of S. 2843 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration. I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered…

I`m so pleased Judy Chu introduced our bill and we passed it in the House, the Women`s Health Protection Act, very important bill, uphill battle in the Senate.

Rachel, I always have to have hope. And if it is a long fight for reproductive rights and freedom, then we`ll have to continue to mount that fight.

The Hyde Amendment, from its inception, was racist and discriminatory and aimed at people with low incomes and people of color.

I`m compelled to speak out because of the real risks of the clock being turned back to those days before Roe vs. Wade, to the days when I was a teenager and had a back alley abortion in Mexico. I was one of the lucky ones, Madam Chair. A…

what she had to do in order to have access to a choice that she was forced to make

during this pandemic, the people of the United States have seen the Federal Government intrude into their lives more frequently and more completely than ever before. President Biden didn't make any pretense about this. He didn't mince any…

I appreciate the insight provided by my friend and distinguished colleague, the senior Senator from Illinois and the assistant majority leader. I respectfully submit that this is about allowing people to obtain redress for, among other…

I rise again today to express my objection to President Biden's sweeping vaccine mandate and to offer legislation that would protect Americans from this Federal intrusion. As I said yesterday, the Federal Government has no business…
