What Cynthia M. Lummis said, and what was done

“Madam President, I am honored to speak today about a remarkable man who has given decades of service to Wyoming and to our Nation: Tucker Fagan. Tucker's story begins in the New York City area, where he was raised alongside five siblings by parents who instilled in him a strong work ethic.”

“Mr. President, the summer months--and August in particular--are always my favorite time of year. The Cowboy State shines all year, but August brings outdoor activities, family gatherings, and one of my favorite annual events: the Wyoming State Fair hosted in Douglas.”

“I thank the Senator from Alaska for visiting about a local legislator. They are tremendously important to all of us. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act Madam President, yesterday I addressed this Chamber because we are wasting time we do not have to get the digital asset market structure bill passed, the bill called the Clarity Act.”

“Americans lost access to their own money in 2022 because we don't have the protections the Clarity Act puts in place, and thousands of them are still sorting through bankruptcy claims today.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to speak about the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, also known as the CLARITY Act, and about the years of work that brought us to this moment.”

“Mr. President, if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order, following the remarks of my Democratic colleagues.”

“Mr. President, in reserving the right to object, I have been very proud to work with my colleagues and very much want to continue to work with my colleagues to make our currency work better for all Americans.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to talk about a bill that, at its core, asks for something almost embarrassingly simple: That the person registering to vote in an American election is actually an American citizen and that the person showing up to cast the ballot is actually who they say they are.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to talk about the basic duty we all took an oath to carry out--and whether we are living up to it. The U.S.”

“Mr. President, I now ask for a second reading and, in order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I object to my own request.”

“Reserving the right to object, I will be completely unaffected by the bill the gentleman from Georgia is proposing because I won't be here next year, but I reserve the right to object because there are alternatives.”

“Mr. President, reserving the right to object, this resolution asks us to accept, without scrutiny, that correlation equals causation. It is true that premiums are rising, but this Senate deserves an honest accounting of why.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the outstanding group of dedicated Americans whose work is often unseen but whose impact will be felt by generations. As my time in this Chamber draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the responsibilities I have been privileged to carry on behalf of the people of Wyoming.”

“Res. 693, S. Res. 694, S. Res. 695, S. Res. 696, and S. Res. 697. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolutions en bloc.”

“Mr. President, I have been listening to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle so I can try to understand their arguments. On my side of the aisle, we have been told that the Democrats in the Senate will not meet with the Republicans in the Senate about this issue.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to remind us of what we commemorated yesterday: Holocaust Remembrance Day. During the Holocaust, the Nazi regime and its collaborators systematically murdered 6 million Jewish men, women, and children.”

“Madam President, Wyoming became a State in 1890. It was the 44th State to enter the Union. In 1893, Wyoming adopted our State seal, which also appears on our State flag inside the buffalo, and on that seal are two figures that tell the story of Wyoming. (Mr.”

“Mr. President, I want to thank Senator Johnson for his dedication to trying to pay the Federal workers who are being used in what is a political battle--I want to excuse them from a partisan political battle that is not of their making so they can go back to work and serve the American people.”

“Mr. President, reserving the right to object, article II, section 2, clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution gives the President complete discretion to issue executive clemency. In Ex parte Garland in 1866, the Supreme Court even said that the President has ``unlimited powers in respect to pardons, extending to every offense under the law.'' Congress must be mindful of its proper role as part of our constitutional separation of powers.”

“Mr. President, I renew my objection as someone who was spied on by the Biden Justice Department--one of eight Senators to be spied on--in violation of the separation of powers.”

“Madam President, I rise to support commonsense legislation that will bring transparency and accountability to the Federal Reserve Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Currently, the inspector general of the Fed is appointed by the Fed Chair.”

If you try to talk to the Fed Chair about something, they will put it on the Vice Chair for banking supervision who will put it on the presidents of the Federal Reserve banks who put it back on the White House who put it back on bank supervision who put it on the lawyer for bank supervision.”

“Mr. President, one of my favorite annual events in Wyoming is the Wyoming State Fair, held each year in Douglas. The Wyoming State Fair is a big deal in my State and always one heck of a good time.”

“Mr. President, not since President Ford has any President been denied at least some of his nominees unanimous consent for confirmation at this point in their Presidency. That is why I come to the floor today to advocate for one nominee who is sorely needed--her name is Jessica Kramer--to be Assistant Administrator in the Office of Water at the Environmental Protection Agency.”

“Mr. President, I rise today in support of the Laken Riley Act. Nearly a year ago, Laken Riley--a college girl more than 1,000 miles from our southern border--was jogging on her university's intramural fields.”
