I come to the floor to talk about President Biden's runaway spending proposals. Of course, as a conservative Republican, when I look at this thing, I have to say: Wait a second. This is not something that I can support in any way. We have…

I have a letter from the National Association of Convenience Stores, the National Association of Truck Stop Operators, and the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America.

The government does a pretty poor job when it comes to picking winners and losers.

today the Senate is debating the nomination of Deb Haaland, a Member of Congress, to serve as Secretary of the Interior. If confirmed, she will be the first Native American Cabinet member in U.S. history. This is a historic moment, and it…

I rise today to submit for the Record a letter sent to the U.S. Senate from Cathy and Bill Schreiber of Wilson, WY. I recently had the opportunity to visit with Bill. He shared with me his optimism for the future of our Nation and his…

Electricity is needed for virtually all aspects of our lives.

Some have long pointed to batteries as the way to integrate unreliable renewables onto the grid. However, batteries are simply not up to the task today.

The blackouts that we witnessed in California in 2019 and 2020, as well as the blackouts across the central part of the country last month, are unacceptable.

Our nation's energy production benefits every American, as we discussed yesterday.

first, I would like to associate myself with the outstanding remarks from the senior Senator from Iowa, whose long experience in this body is one that we all look to with great admiration and respect. When he speaks on this, he is well…

I also come to the floor today to talk about the need for integrity in our elections. In 2020, the American people voted for a 50-50 Senate. We are in that body today. And they gave Republicans nearly a dozen more seats in the House of…

Congratulations on your nomination.

Yesterday 40 Senators, 40 of us, sent a letter urging President Biden to impose sanctions on entities involved with Nordstream II.
