We are doing the work that the Department of Justice is supposed to be doing.

I am furious about it.

I have a little more time. Can you tell us what it would do to BLM's ability to continue to advance smart energy development, outdoor recreation, conservation, the full spectrum of uses for BLM lands if Congress were to cut the Bureau's…

Thank you, Senator Blackburn. Another great mind that we benefit from in the Senate is our friend and colleague, the junior Senator from Florida. Before he became the Senator from Florida, Senator Scott was previously Governor Scott, a…

Thank you, Coach. Another one of our colleagues who has been a longtime advocate of secure borders and is tireless in her advocacy is our friend and colleague the senior Senator from the State of Tennessee. I would love to get her thoughts…

Before he had his name changed legally--for purposes of this Chamber--to the junior Senator from Missouri, Attorney General Eric Schmitt was one of the Nation's leading legal minds engaged in this problem, engaged in trying to address the…

Who wouldn't be offended by the use of the term ``kangaroo court.'' In fact, the entire marsupial world will be offended by this.

Well, let's see, obviously, spreading what they deem misinformation on the internet might be a felony. I suppose at some point--

That is precisely what the precedent established today stands for. That is--we have effectively--by this vote that the Democrats forced through, not even allowing us to debate this--and this is why I raised a point of order--or this is why…

We need to push that through our innovation dollars, through our STEM dollars.

We are asking for an increase of $35,000,000 to bring it up to $431,000,000 for HBCUs.

I am really delighted to see that the President's budget request includes the $21,300,000 in funding for strengthening HBCUs' Master Program.

We have to make sure that we are increasing salary, creating good working conditions, being intentional about recruiting.

We are fixing a bipartisan bill in 2007, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, to provide debt relief to educators.

We are at the doorstep of another crisis if we don't think about educator shortages.

I was a staffer and an intern for Congressman Ron Dellums and had a chance to get to know Congressman Gus Hawkins very well.

We have to be intentional about that.

It is important to retain quality educators, especially those that represent the community.

The President's budget provides over $15,000,000,000 to allow more States and schools to leverage participation in the Community Eligibility Program and provide healthy and free school meals to additional 9,000,000 children.
