I agree with what Chairman Shelby has said. We have tried to set an example. The two of us are from two different parties, from two different parts of the country and, I think it is fair to say, have two different political philosophies…

Vermont has lost one of the finest people we have had in our State. Bobby Miller epitomized the very best of Vermont ideals, from his childhood straight through all that he accomplished in our State. Throughout it all, he and his lovely…

Our servicemen and -women deserve more than a thank-you. They deserve our support and our protection. This week, with unanimous support, we passed H.R. 5003, the Fair Debt Collection Practices for Servicemembers Act, to stand up for our…

Chairman Shelby just spoke. He and I have worked so hard together on the Appropriations Committee on the emergency coronavirus supplemental request. I have always enjoyed working with Chairman Shelby, and I am pleased we can announce that…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Loeffler). Without objection, it is so ordered. Coronavirus

I think Biden is going to start talking about income and equality. And I think Biden is going to start. If he doesn't want to talk about Medicare for All, he better have something pretty good so everybody has coverage.

I ask unanimous consent that Deborah Fleischaker, a detailee on my Judiciary Committee staff, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the 116th Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

55 years ago, a courageous band of civil rights activists, including the fearless John Lewis, began a march for what many of us considered a sacred right to vote. They marched from Selma to Montgomery, and they marched in the face of…

I thank the good gentleman from Guam for yielding. I rise in support of H.R. 5003, the Fair Debt Collection Practices for Servicemembers Act. Every day we are reminded of the significant sacrifices our troops make to protect us, and as…

everybody has a story. Actually, everybody has a journey, when you think of life. Some are heartbreaking, but some are uplifting, and some are hopeful. Tomorrow night, during senior night, the University of Vermont men's basketball team is…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Blackburn). Without objection, it is so ordered. Tribute to Josh Speidel

I note that somebody else is not waiting to speak. When somebody does, I, of course, will yield the floor. Coronavirus Madam President, I want to bring my colleagues up to date on where my head is as vice chairman of Appropriations. All of…

President Trump, stay out of the Democratic Primary. Why don't you do your job for a change as president. Stop lying. Stop running a corrupt administration. Pay attention to the American people, not just your own political aims.

It is no surprise they do not want me to become president because our administration will transform this country to create an economy and a government that works for all of the people, not just the 1 percent.

No more tax breaks for billionaires. No more subsidies for the fossil fuel industry.

I think that if we don't allow Trump to divide us up by our race or where we came from or our sexual orientation... we can bring sweeping changes to this country.
