One way to do so is by making community and technical college affordable and accessible to more and more students of all ages and backgrounds.

I look forward to your swift confirmation and working with you to help address the many challenges that our Nation's students, parents, educators, and administrators face.

Did your office have any contact with Smithfield Foods or the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the White House concerning specifically this memo before it was edited?

Not only will we achieve that goal, but I do believe that Wisconsin will go blue in the presidential race.

The contrast could not be more stark.

This November let's move forward and never look back.

I think that there will probably be more than one debate about witnesses when we convene on Tuesday.

I have no idea what relevant and firsthand information somebody like Hunter Biden could provide, that would provide any clarity on the two articles of impeachment.

I am disappointed that my Republican colleagues have once again chosen to object to protecting people with preexisting conditions.

These short-term plans do not have to cover preexisting conditions. I can tell you, as I have inquired--

On May 20, 2019, the Senate voted on the motion to invoke cloture on Executive Calendar No. 201, Daniel P. Collins, of California, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit. Due to travel delays, I missed this vote. However…

You know, we have been talking today, a lot about the retreating sea ice creating opportunities for increased commerce in the Arctic.

So it is imperative that mariners have current and accurate charts, especially in the harsh Arctic environment.

We have made an important step forward in the recently passed Coast Guard bill, which authorized a Coast Guard Center of Excellence to study and address the unique Great Lakes environment.

The Great Lakes are also the world's largest freshwater system, provides--it provides drinking water to over 35 million people.

The need for additional ice breakers in consideration of climate change impacts on ice cover and infrastructure challenges are shared between the Arctic and the Great Lakes.

Simply put, we need more ice breakers to support commerce and keep mariners safe in the Arctic and in the Great Lakes.

It is becoming increasingly important that we chart a thoughtful course that simultaneously seeks to promote international cooperation, environmental protection, and efficient commerce, while protecting our Nation's security.

We need to provide them with greater support.

It is critical for, first, education to occur, so that people understand that an MRI can cost $4,800 or $650 and that the quality of that care does not differ.

I am really proud of The Alliance's work to empower patients with information that they can understand through the QualityPath initiative.

Making sense of healthcare costs can be really confusing and overwhelming for patients.

I would like to get the GAO to study this issue and I will certainly follow up with a formal request to do so.

I'd like to know how the Coast Guard is applying this congressional direction to the acquisitions.

What proactive steps, if any, does the Coast Guard take to seek contracts with American manufacturers and small businesses in cases where the law does not require you to?
