no administration should expect to have my support for a trade agreement that fails to include provisions that protect the Internet as an open platform of commerce, speech, and the free exchange of ideas of all kinds.

I would encourage members to enter their statements in the record so that we can move expeditiously.

As most of you should be aware, we are tackling a lot today.

I'd like to begin with --

If the Senator will yield, I thank the Senator so much. I am grateful for the friendship that I have with all of you but especially with him. He is one of the up-and-coming, moving, strong Senators in this body. I have tremendous respect…

earlier this month, I announced that my current term of service would be my last. Since then, many of my colleagues have asked how I feel with my Senate tenure drawing to a close. I think many expect me to say that I feel an overwhelming…

today I wish to pay tribute to a remarkable man whose smile and beautiful soul touched the lives of everyone he met. Matthew Hillyard passed away peacefully at his family home on January 4, 2018, to the grief of not only his family and…

I rise to pay tribute to a trio of excellent staffers, all of whom served with distinction on the Senate Finance Committee for a number of years and who recently left the committee to pursue other ventures. First, Mr. President, I would…

Mr. Azar will be Congress's primary contact on all matters relating to our Nation's health-care system.

with this week's passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, many throughout the country are rightly celebrating the first substantive reform of our Nation's Tax Code in more than three decades. While the popular narrative surrounding this bill…

I would like to take a moment to discuss the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP. As we all know, the authorization for CHIP expired at the end of September. Since that time, States have been utilizing their reserve funds in order…

often here in Washington, it can be difficult to focus on what counts. We live in an information environment which is increasingly atomized and persistently polarized. Almost all will inevitably focus on who is up and who is down in the…
