I am sorry about that. I am sorry about that. The Presiding Officer is such a good man. His State is not on my top five non-New Jersey States, but North Carolina is. And I am going to read a letter from Judith Brown. My name is Judith…

Ready, fire, aim. Senator Murphy, I prepared for so many days on this, and we are talking about the points so I am going to submit--there are lots of articles here that I am going to submit to the Record. Mr. President, I ask unanimous…

I am an Xer. But the generation ahead of me is so big that we are seeing this massive group of Americans, soon to be retiring, and lots of people recognize it, calling it the ``great retirement crisis,'' not because Social Security checks…

She was a Rutgers professor. I was listening to her way before I got to the Senate when she was fighting for the CFPB, when she was fighting so people would not be taken advantage of. She established the first-ever Agency whose sole…

Thank you. Thank you. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts, but I think you have to ask him to yield for a question.

Yes, yes, yes, it does. I mean, you put forth this litany where what we have to ask ourselves is at what point do my colleagues in the House and the Senate and the Republican Party say enough? Enough. God bless John Kennedy for calling out…

I thank you for the question, my friend and my chairwoman. I did talk about this, but it is so worth repeating. At some point in the night, we covered Social Security, and we read story after story after story of senior citizens who are…

Chuck Schumer, I have yielded for a question, and you asked me did I know. I know now. (Applause.) I want to not quite wrap this up yet. I don't want to wrap this up yet. My mom's Senator--my mom has been watching. I know Catherine Cortez…

I appreciate the Democratic leader's question. I think that all 100 of us in this body are getting what I have gotten. I can't go to the grocery store. I can't walk my neighborhood. I just did a travel around the country to do what a lot…

Amen. Amen. You know, Reverend Warnock was here earlier and was preaching and quoting Scripture, but you are preaching the gospel of truth, my friend, from a civic gospel that speaks to the cares and the concerns of American hope and of…

I ask unanimous consent that ``How Education Department Cuts Could Hurt Low-Income and Rural Schools in Particular,'' an article of March 21, 2025, be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed…

I am really grateful you are in the Chair and grateful to be able to rise right now and speak. I want to say at the top that I have a tremendous love for this institution, and a lot of that is born from the people that are here-- from the…

It was something about this man where the dignity that he had that we all treasured, in a moment like that, he began to elevate. I had my partner Senator here say to me when I got here: You are not a full Senator until you get ripped by…

I so appreciate the question from my friend. I really think that he is a superpower, and you are a Superman in that character because you are thinking about the people affected. We throw these acronyms down here, and they sound like…

So happy you asked it in the right fashion. I yield for a question while retaining the floor.

I thank you for the question I see in there. Again, great Presidents have great ideas they bring to Congress, and they fight to pull together and cobble together legislation that will last. The problem we have right now is this whiplash…

I didn't yield for a question. I can't say anything, sir. The Parliamentarian will jump all over you. I have the floor. So much power, it is going to my head.

So this bothers me for two reasons, and the first you have already mentioned, is this is the point of the bipartisan work that we do. I talked about Chris Murphy and the bipartisan gun bill that lots of people here worked on with Senator…
