On the recordJuly 30, 2025
if there are four words to describe the first 7 months of the Senate Republican majority, they would be ``promises made; promises kept.'' The American people gave us a mandate to secure the border, strengthen the economy, rein in wasteful spending, and make America great again, and that is exactly what we have done while working with President Donald Trump and his administration. You can start with the Laken Riley Act, which was the first bill signed into law, and this strengthens the Homeland Security Department's efforts to detain criminal illegal aliens and get them out of our communities. We passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, which empowers the administration to take the fight to the cartels and to end our drug crisis. We passed Senator Hagerty's GENIUS Act, which promotes economic freedom and helps ensure that America leads in the development of cryptocurrencies. We passed a $9 billion rescissions package, permanently eliminating wasteful spending on everything from biased media outlets to far-left NGOs. This is just the first of many rescissions packages that we are going to send to President Trump's desk. Now, despite Democratic obstruction, which continues even today, we have also confirmed more than 100 civilian nominees, who are carrying out President Trump's agenda, and we are continuing to fight for confirmation votes to make certain that the President has his entire team in place to serve the needs of the American people.
