Mr. KAINE. Mr. President, I oppose S. 2 and believe it reflects profoundly misplaced priorities for America. Accordingly, it is my intention to make the following motions to commit the bill:

A motion to commit the bill to the Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report back to the Senate with provisions that require the Office on Violence Against Women of the Department of Justice to distribute grant funds from fiscal year 2025 that have yet to be disbursed.

A motion to commit the bill to the Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report back with provisions that would prohibit officers and agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection from entering any home without a warrant issued by a court created under article III of the Constitution of the United States.

A motion to commit the bill to the Committee on Finance with instructions to report back with changes that would lower the cost of prescription drugs.

A motion to commit the bill to the Committee on Finance with instructions to report back with changes that would require the executive branch to provide automatic and full refunds of all tariffs held illegal by the Supreme Court on February 20, 2026.
