Kentucky

“

The senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.

“

Senator McConnell is still working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery. However, he will not be voting this week.

“

Kentucky is praying for a full and speedy recovery for Senator McConnell. We are grateful for his service to the Commonwealth. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Senator McConnell and President Trump to deliver for Kentucky.

“

Senator McConnell is fully engaged with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters and is very appreciative of the outstanding care he is receiving.

“

I've heard that he is doing better today. We're hoping he gets out of the hospital soon.

“

Thank goodness. Clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program failed in the House.

“

With $70 billion, we could end homelessness in America. Just about anything would be better than giving it to ICE.

“

The People's House is sending a message: end this war. People are tired of this.

“

Any person tapped to serve as director of national intelligence must have extensive national security experience.

“

What documents remain, why they haven't been turned over... We're going to try to determine whether or not there can be more documents legally turned over. I want every document, I don't want anything held back.

“

[Massie said he would be in favor of a short-term deal with Iran that would allow for more negotiations on the nuclear issue.]

“

My constituents are hurting. Gas is almost $5 a gallon, diesel is almost $6 a gallon, and the farmers here in Kentucky can't afford the fertilizer to put on their fields. So, heck yes, I would support it! We don't know what the terms of it are, but if Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz were crashing out last night, I'd say it's probably a pretty good deal.

“

So, the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick.

“

Welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever in the 250-year history of this country. It's not just the most expensive. This thing went on longer than Vietnam.

“

If the legislative branch always votes with the president, we do have a king.

“

We stirred up something. There is a yearning in this country for someone who will vote for principles over party.

“

I've never heard of someone negotiating with themselves and making a plea bargain with themselves.

“

I'm not for adding more debt, I think adding more [debt] makes us less safe. I think the war should come to a conclusion as soon as possible.

“

This committee will not let Senate Democrats block paychecks for our border patrol and other law enforcement. We will not let them shut down inspections for fentanyl, weapons or nuclear material. And we will not stand idly by while they defund the interdiction of child sex trafficking across the border.

“

Right off the bat he corrected his statement on the time that he came to the island. I feel like Lutnick has been very transparent. He came in voluntarily.

“

He wasn't 100% truthful with whether or not he had been on the island. If we find that there were any misstatements by Mr. Lutnick, it's a felony to lie to Congress.

“

The War Powers Act means something. The president cannot simply declare the war over by pointing to a fragile ceasefire while continuing to project military force in the region. Congress must vote.

“

I've been consistent: presidents of both parties need congressional authorization before taking the country into military or paramilitary confrontation. The Cuba blockade is no exception.

“

Congress ought to fund border security but we should be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars and fully pay for the $70 billion to secure our borders.

“

We already know the Department of Justice failed to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act under former Attorney General Bondi and they continue to withhold required documents under Acting Attorney General Blanche.

“

Many of the documents DOJ allows Members of Congress to view remain redacted because they were received with redactions imposed by the FBI and US Attorneys, and Blanche has, as far as we can tell, neither requested nor obtained the original versions as required by EFTA.

“

I will be voting NO on final passage of the FISA 702 Reauthorization Bill if it does not include a warrant provision and other reforms to protect US citizens' right to privacy.

“

We'll talk about it.

“

I support Trump firing Pam Bondi. Do you? I hope the next AG will release all the Epstein files according to the law and follow up with investigations, prosecutions, and arrests.

“

I don't think we should be looking at the White House piecemeal. Today is the ballroom. Tomorrow, it could be some modifications to — I guess, it's the colonnade between the main building and the West Wing. The day after that, it could be some addition to the West Wing.
