So over the last 50 years, vaccines are estimated to have saved 154 million lives worldwide. I support vaccines. I’m a doctor. Vaccines work.

I spent the last 4 weeks traveling all around the great State of Wyoming--from Cheyenne to Cody--and visited with people and families from all across the State. There was the State fair in Douglas, the Dubois firefighters' picnic, the…
for 9 long months, the Senate Democrats have waged an unprecedented effort to slow down the Senate and to delay the President from getting his team on the field. It has been an unprecedented blockade. President Trump was elected to get…
Senate Republicans are determined to confirm Mr. Trump’s qualified nominees one way or another.
Senate Republicans included a provision to address this very issue in an appropriations bill that Democrats blocked earlier this week. This issue would have been addressed here on the U.S. Senate floor. Yet Senate Democrats came to the…
let me bring up what I heard the minority leader say yesterday. Yesterday, he came to this floor, and when he left the floor, he went out to hold a press conference. At that point, the minority leader bragged--bragged--that the Democrats…
Republicans came to the Senate with a clear mandate. That was 7 months ago. Our job as a majority was to get America back on track. We made that commitment, and we are following through on it. We are keeping that commitment. America is…
At the 113th Wyoming State Fair, Senator Lummis and I will have the pleasure of introducing Doug Miyamoto as a 2025 inductee to the Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame. Doug Miyamoto is a Wyoming native through and through. He is a graduate…
I think what Joe Biden and his administration have done went way beyond the original intent of the legislation.
this morning--in the early hours of this morning--Republicans voted to save the American taxpayers over $9 billion. Now, predictably, the Democratic leader came to the floor today in the U.S. Senate making false claims. Let's be clear…
We should never be funding vegan food in Africa, social media mentorship in Europe, or Net Zero Cities in Mexico.
It is astonishing, as I come to the floor, to listen to the Democrat minority leader. We just heard his comments about foreign aid keeping 'Russia and China at bay.' If it were only the case. The minority leader has a long and spirited…
Last Friday, President Trump signed into law our historic legislation to deliver safety and prosperity for the American people. Every Democrat in this Chamber voted against it. So, once again, Democrats do what they do: They turn to the…
Democrats, of course, rushed to turn this successful strike into a political fight. National security moves fast. That's why our Constitution says: 'Give the commander in chief real authority.'
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate got an update from the administration about Saturday's strike on Iran. We heard from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, and…
on a related matter, the Iranian air strike is about more than nuclear weapons. It is about, also, the threat of terrorism. Iranian terrorists have targeted Americans for decades. Iran actively pursued an assassination plot against…
I rise today because Republicans are making America safer and more prosperous, and, as part of that, we are strengthening Medicaid. You know, I am a doctor. I practiced medicine in Wyoming for over 20 years, and I cared for many, many…
when Americans turn on their TV sets and see what is happening on the streets of Los Angeles, I believe the American people feel sickened, horrified, and outraged. Yet we stood here and saw the minority leader of the U.S. Senate come to…
just yesterday, I heard the minority leader once again misrepresent the Republican agenda. With respect, once again, he is wrong. Let me set the record straight because the Republican agenda is actually very popular. The latest Rasmussen…
Democrats have this delusional dream of eliminating gas-powered vehicles in America. They want to force-feed electric vehicles to every man and woman who drive in this country. Well, Republicans are ready to use the Congressional Review…
To me, it is a political stunt, and I will vote against it. It is not about transparency. It is not about human rights. It is about bringing a verified member of MS-13, a terrorist group, criminals--and bringing that member back into the…
I have just come to the floor and listened to the minority leader talk about energy. Energy. Do you know why he is in the minority and we are in the majority? It is because of energy, because Joe Biden, former President, told the EPA, the…
this week, Senator Kaine of Virginia and Senator Van Hollen of Maryland are going to force a vote on a resolution here in the Senate, and, astonishingly, it is in defense of illegal immigrant criminals. They are going to take up the…
