Save America Act
We have begun what will be our third day of debating the SAVE America Act, just over 48 hours ago. We voted to proceed to this bill, and we have been debating it for a couple of days, now entering our third 24-hour period of debates. Issues of the Day
And still I rise. And still I rise. I rise today, Mr. Speaker, a liberated, unbought, unbossed, unafraid Democrat. I rise, Mr. Speaker, after having been censured but not silenced. Censured, but not silenced. Artificial Intelligence
We are at the beginning of the most profound technological revolution in world history, a revolution which will bring unimaginable changes to every aspect of our society. Providing for Congressional Disapproval Under Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code, of the Rule Submitted by the Internal Revenue Service Relating to "Beginning of Construction Requirements...
I want to point out these are just texts that allow us to do certain motions here, and I don't need this for the moment. Department of Homeland Security (Executive Session)
First let me commend my colleague Senator Whitehouse for his excellent remarks that show all the dangers of the SAVE Act.

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act: Resumed
I come to the floor this evening to speak about the SAVE America Act.

Recognizing Martin Hogan
I rise today to recognize Martin Hogan for being named the grand marshal of Savannah's 202nd St. Patrick's Day Parade. Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026: Motion to Proceed: Resumed
I am now going to just continue what Senator Whitehouse has been raising for the consideration of the American people. Draining the Swamp
Do you remember over the last few years the number of discussions we would have at home, saying drain the swamp? What was the term, swamp critters? SAVE America Act (Executive Session)
I rise to join my colleagues to oppose the attempt by the President and his allies in Congress to effectively disenfranchise millions of Americans through their so-called SAVE America Act. But more than that, I rise to join my fellow Granite Staters and the majority of freedom-loving Americans to ask a question more fundamental.
