I see this $30,000,000 cut. The request, $305,000,000, and the enacted level was $336,000,000, it is a $30,000,000 cut.

But actually you are cutting Medicaid, which serves 42 percent of people.

I think we need to take on looking at this issue and put into our report language, looking at the issue of systemic racism in child poverty.

You are trying to mask this by saying you are now not going to collect the data by race.

it is with a heavy heart that I come to the floor of the Senate today. Over the last few weeks, I talked to countless people throughout Utah and across the Nation, but especially in Utah, about the troubles that they have encountered…

There is a wide range of efforts across the country, none of which has given real data or evidence of what is most effective in social distancing.

I came to the floor several days ago in connection with the expiring national security provisions. We have three provisions of our national security system of laws that are set to expire and have been set to expire for a long time. In…

I ask unanimous consent to receive permission to complete my remarks before any vote is conducted. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

earlier today, when the President of the United States issued a statement about the Pelosi-Nadler-Schiff bill purporting to but utterly failing to meaningfully reform the three expiring foreign intelligence surveillance provisions at…

this is the natural product of the American people being asked again and again to simply accept that this is how things will operate. The American people are told to just settle--to settle for budgets that don't balance or come anywhere…

you might notice a pattern here. This pattern is going to continue. This pattern is going to continue because this is unjust. This is unrealistic. This is unsustainable. This used to be a body that prided itself on being the world's…

I appreciate the care, attention, and detail shown by my friend and colleague, the distinguished senior Senator from North Carolina. I do disagree with him for 10 independent reasons. No. 1, as to the suggestion that the proponents of the…

they spied on the President of the United States. They used the apparatus of the U.S. Government's superb intelligence gathering agencies to spy on then-Candidate Donald Trump, now President of the United States. They did so in a way that…

And to see it being cut like this tells me we are going in the wrong direction.

I ask unanimous consent that the Foreign Relations Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 3259 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration. I further ask that the bill be considered read a third time and passed…

it is disappointing that when we take a look at something that is controversial like abortion and we peel it back a layer further, we make it noncontroversial by making the discussion about something that most Americans--the overwhelming…

I love it and I believe in it.

I think it would be a deeper hole just in terms of the geopolitical dynamics that this message would send in terms of the U.S. versus China.

If TDA operations cease, what do you anticipate will happen, first of all, to ongoing projects in sub-Saharan Africa?

I visited Sudan a couple of months ago with Congresswoman Bass and a bipartisan delegation, and we were cautiously optimistic about the progress of the new government.

The Global Gag Rule is one of the most deeply damaging policies ever enacted on foreign assistance funding.

If banks can't purchase humanitarian supplies, medical supplies, how are what we are doing allowing these supplies to be distributed in Iran, given the emergency?

I don't know what in the world could be the justification for this, but I would like to hear your answer on that.

We need to keep more pressure on the Chinese because that is where all of the fentanyl is coming from.

We shouldn't reduce it to 25 percent because that is going to mean our leverage ability for the Global Fund goes down.
