I wish you some tremendous success in driving the Formosa Plastics out of Louisiana.

We have a moral obligation to consider the future of the communities and the people that live in Welch, Gillette, Petersburg, and Harlan.

Members of Congress, Congressman McKinley, thank you for listening, thank you for championing brownfields.

With all due respect, Congress has a moral obligation to consider the human consequences of its energy policies.

These men and women have trusted Congress to protect their livelihood over the years. We should not betray their trust.

I rise today to talk about a resolution that I have introduced with my fellow Senator from Maine, Susan Collins, and 11 other fellow Senators from both sides of the aisle-- truly bipartisan--to designate November 2019 as National Homeless…

as you know, this coming Monday, November 11, is Veterans Day. I have heard my colleagues pay tribute to veterans in their own special way, and I wanted to be a part of that group today to offer a mighty thank-you to our men and women who…
