it is no small task for us to confront the unbearable burden of our history. Yet to stand before that history in silence and to remain idle while these wounds persist is to turn away from one of the most fundamental acts of justice and…

I ask unanimous consent that the committee-reported substitute amendment be withdrawn; that the Schatz-Murkowski substitute amendment at the desk be considered and agreed to; and that the bill, as amended, be considered read a third time…

earlier this week, I spoke about the historic accomplishments of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs with my good friend and vice chair Lisa Murkowski over the last 4 years. I made it very clear that the foundation of this success--and…

reserving the right to object, I am all for considering bills that have gone through the regular process for consideration. In the past month alone, I have been on the floor several times to pass 12 bipartisan bills which advanced out of…
