I echo all the comments to all three of you to thank you for your service.

It has been nearly 100 years since women fought for and won the right to vote. Yet, we still do not have equal rights and protection under the United States Constitution. There are too many examples in our everyday lives where women still…

today, we say farewell to a member of our Senate family: Chad Schulken. For more than 16 years, Chad has served the U.S. Senate as a professional staff member and, most recently, clerk on the Appropriations Committee. He started his career…

this morning the FAA grounded planes at LaGuardia Airport, averaging more than 1,000 flights a day. They made this decision because of a shortage in air traffic control staff, who are not being paid because the President fulfilled his…

it has been 34 days since the President fulfilled his promise to shut down the government, and the American people are not happy about it. Poll after poll shows that people are not OK with the way the President of the United States is…

Burn pits are the Agent Orange of post-9/ 11 veterans. Over 165,000 veterans have registered their names into the burn pit registry, something that is voluntary, but there are millions more of our troops who have been exposed to these…

The person who could end this -- do you think she would go on a trip if Mitch McConnell said I am going to bring the Senate -- the bills that we already passed in the Senate and passed by the House, he will bring these bills to the floor.

It's never a surprise when Donald Trump does something very childish. But let's not forget who began this train wreck of an unnecessary and harmful shutdown. It's Donald Trump when he changed his mind about supporting a bill that was…

S. Res. 19 is unnecessary because no religious test is being applied to nominees for Federal office. If my colleague, the junior Senator from Nebraska, wants to embrace the alt- right's position by offering this resolution, that is his…

Mitch McConnell is basically a person who will -- who's very facile, I should say, in getting what he wants.

2018 was a tough year for so many Americans. We had families and farmers and people all across California whose homes were destroyed, people who lost their lives, lost their farms, lost their businesses. In other parts of the country…

The ripple effect of all of this harm from this train wreck was started by Donald Trump who said oh, yes, I'll take responsibility for it, but of course not.

Mitch McConnell should start acting like the Senate is a separate branch of government, that Congress is a separate branch of government, and he should just bring those Senate past bills to the floor for a vote so that we can end this…

It's clear he can't justify this wall. That's why he has to take people hostage in order to get his way.

Why can't he use it to help 800,000 people who are working women, many of them, without paychecks?

He is one of the people who can end this shutdown right now, but I don't expect him to because he has taken 800,000 people hostages.

I don't think the president should be giving a state of the state, State of the Union speech so that he can for 45 minutes carry on about all the great things he has done at a time when the government shut down.

I have a simple request for my Republican colleagues, and that is this: Open the government. Open the government. There have been too many people suffering for too long for this to go on any further. One of those people is named Scott…
