Mr. President, farmers already deal with so much uncertainty from prices. They should not have to deal with the uncertainty that our government won't follow through on its contracts. Farmers who apply for grant programs are awarded funding…

Mr. President, I would like to call up my amendment No. 1441 and ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 25 hours. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Permission denied.

OK. I just ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from New Jersey [Mr. Booker] proposes an amendment numbered 1441 to amendment No. 1717. The…

In recent weeks, the Trump administration and House Republicans have set their sights on the Federal judiciary, calling for unprecedented changes to our courts, attacking the character of dedicated Federal judges, and attempting to…

I yield for a question while retaining the floor. The Senator asked a question. I yield for a question while retaining the floor.

So I want to thank the Senator for the question, and when I think of people who stand in adversity, I still see you standing in a snowstorm and the strength that you have had and stood up to fight for affordable healthcare, stood up and…

We have a President that is shredding the very Agencies that Americans who are struggling are relying on. Working people that, over the last 71 days, are finding higher prices, that are finding housing prices go up. Farmers in your State…

So happy you asked it in the right fashion. I yield for a question while retaining the floor.

Oh, God, yes, I will. I yield for a question while retaining the floor, Chris Murphy.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that ``How Education Department Cuts Could Hurt Low-Income and Rural Schools in Particular,'' an article of March 21, 2025, be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered…

Thank you for the question, Senator Klobuchar. I love that you are bringing it back to real people and what effect it is having. What you are spelling out is something that is really important. There is a strategy that they have expressly…

That is accurate. It is stunning that they know that they can't do this, so they are going to use some budget trickery to mask the truth. Math doesn't lie. Numbers don't lie. You may be able to mask it so you could use rules of…

Yes, I am. That country that has shed more blood than any of our allies, side-by-side, fighting with America is Canada--is Canada.

She was a Rutgers professor. I was listening to her way before I got to the Senate when she was fighting for the CFPB, when she was fighting so people would not be taken advantage of. She established the first-ever Agency whose sole…

Senator Murphy, that is correct. You have been one of the most articulate voices for this decision--I shouldn't even call it a decision--this reckless trashing of USAID, this vilification of the proud men and women that stand in Ebola…

A hundred miles. Now, what is that hardship to a senior? I have heard from people in their nineties. They already are having benefit cuts. The Wall Street Journal--I told you, I was trying to make you proud. I wanted to get as many sources…

I am very familiar with that. It haunts me that when America was in crisis--I live 11 miles from Ground Zero.

I appreciate your allowing me to yield to you to answer a question while retaining the floor. I am going to continue with a little bit more here before we change topics for the night. I want to point out how grateful I am for my friend…
