I have heard you compliment some of the provisions of the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
I wrote a letter to President Biden outlining several actions his Administration could take to help alleviate some of the supply chain issues.
We are very, very pleased with that choice. It is a timeline that will allow workers from the coal plant that is slated to be closed to transition to the Natrium plant.
I think that is a worthwhile give and take that occurs during those discussions. It is important that you understand what they are doing, and they understand what you expect of them. That is reassuring.
It is clear that meeting these timelines and moving faster is a key priority for Congress.
I am of the opinion that the States are the great incubators of innovation. The best ideas tend to percolate up from the States.
I am joining my colleagues today to highlight the real harm that the President's overreaching vaccine mandates are causing the people of Wyoming and the United States. While I am vaccinated and support others making the decision to get the…
I ask unanimous consent that the following interns in my office be granted floor privileges until November 4, 2021: Alyssa Burleson, Charlotte Holding, and Tanner Weekly. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

I really believe we're searching for the best way to address the problem, and I'm not sure that it is the heavy hands, like breaking up companies or calling them a utility.
If our focus is protecting the First Amendment and our rights to free speech while very carefully regulating data privacy...
I strongly encourage the development of some kind of regulatory body that could work with academics, work with researchers, work with other government agencies to synthesize requests for data that are privacy-conscious.
I rise today to associate myself with the remarks of the gentleman from Idaho and the gentleman from Utah, who just spoke about one of the most egregious nominations to ever receive a vote on the floor of the U.S. Senate. I am speaking of…

This is invasive of privacy. Wyoming's people literally will find alternatives to traditional banks just to thwart IRS access to their personal information.
It is absolutely irresponsible that we are $28 trillion in debt and that both parties sit here and blame each other for what they both did irresponsibly.
