you know, I have to say that last night was an unusually late night here in Washington, and we were all impatient and our staffs were impatient. The press was impatient. As we talked to people across the State, what we realized was they…

as we are all facing this, we are hearing from our Tennesseans; we are hearing from small businesses; and people are trying to hang on to every piece of information they can get. It helps them to stay informed, and we encourage everyone…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Loeffler). Without objection, it is so ordered.

it is so interesting to sit here and listen to our colleagues because the thing that touches me the most is that we are all talking to, talking with, and listening to our constituents, and certainly Tennesseans are talking with us and…

it has been so interesting talking to our Tennesseans as they have faced these issues we have with coronavirus and what is happening, our response to it, and how we are going to fight it. And yes, we are going to win this war, and we are…

I have spoken several times about the vulnerabilities in our pharmaceutical supply chain and again encourage my colleagues to support the bipartisan Securing America's Medicine Cabinet Act--or SAM-C Act--which I am sponsoring alongside my…

we are continuing to roll out our response to the coronavirus and to this pandemic, and I want to encourage my colleagues to begin to think about how we move past this immediate crisis that we are in and begin to look toward what is going…

I have so appreciated the comments of my colleagues today as they have come to the floor and they have talked about how they are approaching what is happening with this coronavirus pandemic and what they are hearing from the citizens of…

for over 100 years, Australia and the United States have enjoyed a mateship made possible by our mutual commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. After signing 1951's Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty…

on Tuesday, my colleague Senator Menendez and I introduced the Securing America's Medicine Cabinet--or SAM-C Act--to encourage an increase in American manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are termed APIs. We did this…

I will have to tell you and all of my colleagues, as they probably know, this has been a fairly tough month for my fellow Tennesseans. As you know, last week, a tornado tore through eight counties. This started in West Tennessee and exited…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Tennessee Tornadoes

as I begin my remarks today, I express my thanks to my colleagues here in this Chamber and, certainly, all across Capitol Hill who have extended their thoughts and their prayers and have asked ``How are you doing?'' when it comes to…

I come to the floor today to say that we have gotten some good news this week from our Southern border. We are making progress on the wall that President Trump has fought so hard for, and that progress will be further supported by billions…

I would like to articulate the reason for the objection to the legislation brought forward by the minority. You would think that, after spending weeks in this Chamber litigating the finer points of their disagreements with the President's…

before I begin, I really want to take a moment to thank our friend and Majority Leader McConnell for the manner in which he has worked to make this trial run so smoothly. I also thank our colleagues for their perseverance and, of course…

I send to the desk a question on behalf of myself and Senators Lee and Johnson. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Blackburn and Senators Lee and Johnson is for counsel for the President: What was the date of first…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk on my behalf. I am also joined by Senators Loeffler, Cramer, Lee, and McSally. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Senators Blackburn, Loeffler, Cramer, Lee, and McSally ask of counsel for the President: Is…

the impeachment trial of President Trump has devolved into a parade of last-minute red herrings meant to distract this body from the issue at hand. The near-hysteria over books, boredom, and beef jerky has provided a convenient vehicle for…

today the Senate begins in earnest our efforts to determine if our colleagues in the House of Representatives have compiled sufficient evidence to justify removing a sitting President from office. This is no small task, and it will be made…

over the past few months, we have spent a great deal of time in this Chamber discussing our adversarial relationships with other countries, but today I want to draw attention to a truly great economic and foreign policy victory negotiated…

we are in the wake of another global event or happening, if you will. No matter what it is, we always have people who come in on the back side and, as I say, are a bunch of armchair quarterbacks and Monday morning quarterbacks, and they…

let me begin by saying that Paul Ray is a Tennesseean and that we are delighted he is being confirmed to the OIRA. He is qualified and will serve our Nation well in the future just as he has in the past.

for 3 years now, I have been hard at work alongside an administration that prioritizes filling vacancies on the Federal bench with smart, dedicated, constitutionalist judges. When I am at home in Tennessee, that is what people tell me they…

I have come to the floor today to start this new year by really encouraging my friends on each side of the aisle to approach this coming legislative session with some optimism because there are some good things we can do. We come to the…
