IN THEIR OWN WORDS

“We got rid of the tax on overtime. We eliminated tax on Social Security. More money in people's pockets. And then on top of that, we expanded the child tax credit. It is now $2,200 per child. We delivered permanent relief--you know about this as do I, in my home State, from the dreaded death tax.”

“But yet every single Democrat in this House voted against these valuable accounts--every one of them--and that includes the two Senators from Georgia where Delta Airlines is headquartered. Democrats refuse to even put children's financial interests first.”

“And I have always said people at home with money in their pocket have a much better time figuring out how to spend it or save it or invest it than does the government. Across the country, more people are working. Take-home pay is rising. These are good signs.”

“A number of their candidates have said it around the country. They said so they can provide healthcare for illegal immigrants with taxpayers paying for it. That is the new Democratic Party. They are radical, they are extreme, they are dangerous, they are scary, and yet they proudly march off saying that is their new mantra.”

“Mr. President, I want to talk today about action, action Republicans are taking to lower the costs for American people. Let's start with the cost of energy. We need to be able to build, to build things faster, better, cheaper, smarter. That is what we need in America today.”

“It was insurance brokers gaming the system, and they earned a commission for each one of these new accounts. We are putting an end to this. There is no verification of identity, no notice of whatever the people made--if they were people or not--no identification of identity, income, or immigration status.”

  18. “Mr. President, I come to the floor, the minority leader has just spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate, and I would like to begin today's comments by quoting the Senator from New York. Here is a quote, Senator Schumer says: Shutting down the government over a policy difference is self-defeating. He went on to say: It accomplishes nothing but pain and suffering for the country and incurs an enormous political cost to the party shutting it down. When did he say those things? Well, he said them in 2019.”

This was deceptively made to look exactly like a pharmaceutical grade oxycodone pill, and it killed him. Look, we need to pass the HALT Fentanyl Act. We need to do it today. We need to turn the tide against this fentanyl epidemic. This is the legislation that deserves to become law. Every major law enforcement group supports it. Most importantly, families of victims support it as well. We have an opportunity to act today to save lives, to act now. Let's work together to get it done. I yield the floor.”

    Senate12 March 2025Source ↗

  26. “HALT Fentanyl Act Mr. President, I come to the floor today, however, to talk about the bill that is currently before us on the floor of the U.S. Senate. And it is a bill relating to the fentanyl crisis in our country. We are seeing it in every State in the country, including the Presiding Officer's home State of Montana and my home State of Wyoming. And so in many ways every State has been impacted by the crisis of fentanyl. Look, I practiced medicine in Wyoming for 24 years. Illicit fentanyl is poisoning and killing Americans every day.”

I am grateful that Leader Thune is putting this bipartisan legislation up for a vote. You can sum up these early weeks in the Republican-led Senate in three words: fast, forceful, and effective. We aren't wasting time. We are not wasting time. We are just getting started. Working together, Republicans are going to deliver for the American people. I yield the floor.”

    Senate5 March 2025Source ↗

  37. “Mr. President, reserving the right to object, the American people want to see this war end. We want to see the killing and the bloodshed stopped. President Trump shares those views. He wants peace. He wants to end the war. President Trump and the administration are negotiating right now, today, to achieve that peace. He addressed it last night in his address to Congress and to the Nation. I think that President Trump is the very best hope to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine. He has my full support as the negotiations continue. The entire Senate should support those efforts, and therefore, Mr. President, I object.”

He is doing that. He is solving the urgent problems facing our Nation, what American people elected him to do, what the American people expect, and it is what the American people are seeing. So the President is working with the House and the Senate, all of us working together to get America back on track, and we are going to deliver what the Americans have asked for: safety and prosperity for the people of this great country. I yield the floor. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.”
