I want to thank all of the teachers and the parents who home schooled for what they've done and what they're preparing to do to help educate over 50 million children who are counting on us.

Madam President, I rise to address the issues regarding the COVID crisis. Now, as we know, the COVID crisis is a public health crisis which has led to an economic crisis and, in turn, an educational crisis. Today, I am going to speak about…

Mr. President, I rise to speak of a largely unknown aspect of the Vietnam war and a too neglected aspect. I rise to highlight Air America and its role in military conflicts from the 1940s through the Cold War. Air America, which was…

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Matthew Fegley, a fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered

the vote is the most powerful, nonviolent change agent you have in a Democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed.

We must ensure all voices can be heard in our democracy by restoring voting rights, enacting automatic voter registration, and ending partisan gerrymandering, as H.R. 1 and H.R. 4 would do.

As we approach the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act later this week, I can't think of a better way to honor the life of Congressman John Lewis by having the Senate follow the House's lead and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights…

The President does not have the power to move the date of the November election.

We have a President who has repeatedly tried to manipulate a news cycle, going so far as to falsely suggest he can move the election date.

I urge my Senate colleagues to step up and provide State and local election officials the funding they need to administer safe, secure, and auditable elections this November.

Voters should not be forced to choose between their health and their right to vote.

As Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, I have fought to protect the voting rights of all Americans and secure funding to help State and local election officials replace outdated, unsecure election equipment.

We must remain vigilant in defending the truth and keep the public informed to deny our adversaries the opportunity to fill information vacuums with lies.

if Republicans refuse, we must cast aside the filibuster as the 'Jim Crow relic' it represents.

I call on them to remember the cause that was so dear to him--access to the ballot box--and fight to include necessary voting reforms and the funding to implement them in the next COVID-19 package.

We must vigorously defend our right to vote, our access to the ballot box, and the integrity of our election.

The integrity of the November elections depends on whole-of-Nation commitment to our democracy.
