Madam President, when, in the course of time, America should find a President in the Oval Office who chooses to bring the police tactics of dictators around the world to the streets of America, then that is the moment it is incumbent on…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that Senators Stabenow, Casey, Udall, Shaheen, Kaine, Smith, Schumer, Feinstein, Cardin, Whitehouse, Leahy, Tester, Schatz, Cortez Masto, Warner, and Menendez be added as cosponsors to Senate…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that Senators Casey, Udall, Shaheen, Kaine, Smith, Schumer, Feinstein, Cardin, Whitehouse, Leahy, Tester, Schatz, Cortez Masto, Warner, and Menendez be added as cosponsors to S. 4220, the Preventing…

Mr. President, today I am introducing the Water for Agriculture and Conservation Act to help expand critical water conservation infrastructure that helps improve water use efficiency, fish and wildlife habitat, and agriculture…

Because a lot of my colleagues have been so thoughtful, I will have some brief remarks, and then I would ask unanimous consent that Senator Cortez Masto could follow me because she is facing a tight schedule as well. I know all of my…

Mr. President, it is a pleasure to be with Senator Schumer to advance the Schumer-Wyden legislative proposal today, and I am very pleased that we are joined by Senator Bennet, a particularly valuable member of the Senate Finance Committee…

Mr. President, I thank Senator Stabenow, my seatmate on the Senate Finance Committee. We are a bit more socially distant now, but we still have spent this time plotting and thinking and trying to imagine a future that provides the kinds of…

Madam President, I join my colleagues this afternoon in appreciation of Senator Brown, who has been relentless--absolutely relentless--in prosecuting this cause of trying to get a fair shake for millions of Americans who are walking on an…

Night after night, young people in Portland, joined by thousands of their neighbors, gathered to demand justice that Black lives matter. Yet, today, thousands are caught in the legacy of Richard Nixon's cynical ``War on Drugs.'' It…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of the en bloc amendments and the Moving Forward Act. In the last few months, more than 47 million people in this country filed for unemployment. They need our support. The Moving…

I am pretty sure, down the hall in the House of Representatives, nobody is missing a meal; yet so many people in each of our States are missing meals. In my State of Oregon, hunger has doubled since March. I imagine hunger has increased in…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to engage in colloquy with my colleague from Michigan. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Senator Stabenow, it is a pleasure to be here with you in this fight for something as fundamental as hunger. As I was listening to the conversation, your words and our colleague's from Ohio, Sherrod Brown, who was speaking, and our…

We might think of hunger as kind of a temporary discomfort, something you get through, but my understanding is, when children are hungry, when they don't have the basic nutrients on a regular basis, it damages the development of the mind…

We are talking about millions of American children who are suffering not just discomfort but damage to their minds because they don't have enough to eat. The majority leader is sending us on vacation rather than addressing it. Thank you to…

It is being driven by massive unemployment. The estimate in April was for families who earn less than $40,000 a year, 40 percent had lost their job. I think that was April. Now, maybe it is well over 50 percent. Half of working America of…

All right. Well, I will just tell my colleagues--and I made it clear I was on my way here--I think that this is a flawed approach to a very serious problem, and the reason I feel this way, as the ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee…

The Paul bill passed that my colleagues are discussing. The PRESIDING OFFICER. S. 4104 has passed.
