I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding adoption of substitute amendment No. 2137, the Toomey amendment No. 2656 be considered and agreed to. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?

There is no reason to protect it other than you’re going to throw the entire congressmen into chaos and nothing will get done.

After years and years of infrastructure week, we are in the cusp of an infrastructure decade. This bill is declared dead more often anyway. If bipartisanship is a thing of the past, it was characterized as a relic of an earlier age. As you…

I do not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the original request by the Senator from Delaware?

We could see one of the most pivotal days of the Biden administration so far tomorrow. The Senate voting on this bipartisan trillion-dollar infrastructure bill and all indications are it should pass. The bill funds infrastructure projects…

we just heard from the senior Senator from Illinois. I remember when he was a junior Congressman from Illinois, elected in 1982, along with about 80 other Democrats and Republicans from all over the country. One of them was me. One of them…

I call up amendment No. 2633 to H.R. 3684. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Delaware [Mr. Carper] proposes an amendment numbered 2633. The amendment is…

I say to these governors, please help. But if you`re not going to help, at least get out of the way.

I put in place new incentives requirements to encourage vaccinations. There will be more to come in the days ahead. America can beat the Delta variant, just as we beat the original COVID-19.
