I imagine many of us in this Chamber had a wonderful week talking with Tennesseans--with our constituents. In Tennessee, I will tell you this: We had a fabulous week. And everywhere I went, whether it was the grocery store or somewhere…
the Biden administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan jeopardized our national security, empowered our enemies, and put thousands of innocent lives in jeopardy. But as the situation devolved, stories emerged of heroic efforts…
I appreciate my colleague from Missouri and his remarks about how we need the other side to work with us. And that is so very true because this administration, the Biden administration, has refused to drag themselves away from the…
The reason I want to know this is I know that a good number of the claims continue to go to appeal and then continue to end up in court, end up before the judge.
I think you have heard frustration, not only from me but from others, that there seems to be a lack of accountability.
as I have been saying, it has been so difficult to get people to realize what we are facing from the Chinese Communist Party. They are an adversary, and seeing the evidence of genocide in Xinjiang didn't seem to be enough to persuade…
last week, the Senate passed the Sergeant First Class Sean Cooley and Specialist Christopher Horton Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship Program Act. I would like to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who lent their…

Thank you, Senator. I am appreciative to the Senator from Kansas and to all of my colleagues who have joined me on the floor today to fight this dangerous precedent set by these mandates. I think it is so vitally important for my…
I thank the Senator from Florida. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to enter into a colloquy with my friend Senator Marshall. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Yes, indeed, Senator. I am very concerned. The Biden administration has, indeed, weaponized the U.S. Government against workers who love their jobs, against workers who are trying to earn a living and support their families. We have to…
Yes, indeed. You are correct, Senator Marshall. As I have said before, Tennessee is a supply chain and logistic State: shipping, transportation, manufacturing. These are things that help form the backbone of our economy, and those…
it is no secret that President Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandates have drawn major opposition here in the Senate. My Republican colleagues and I have introduced multiple pieces of legislation that chip away at the various impractical…

Okay. So we can expect some certainty and a way forward from you all by when?
Okay. So what is your timeline for completing the evaluation and saying this is worth the time and money and this is not?
last week, a Tennessee director of schools named Russell sent me an email about a problem he is having with some of his students. The so-called devious lick TikTok trend caught on in his district, and it is more than just a viral gag. The…
I so appreciate the remarks of my colleague from Missouri, and it sounds as if he is hearing from his constituents in Missouri the same thing that I am hearing in Tennessee. As a matter of fact, I held a telephone townhall last night…
