Without the ability for unions to argue for a bigger share of that money that ends up in their pockets, and without other effective checks on the explosion of CEO pay, that imbalance just gets worse and worse.

The results of this campaign against workers' rights have been deeply damaging, especially in light of this pandemic.

The treatment of the HDP is part of our larger concern about the human rights situation in Turkey.

I think that the importance you place on flexibility and recognizing that every community is different is important.

I want to really raise the alarm for what is happening to young adults.

I take your point that it maybe is not attributed to the recent decline in life expectancy rates likely because it has been for a very long time a significant contributor to the rate of death in many of our communities, in particular…

Senator Sullivan of Alaska and I have introduced legislation that would set up a series of grants to communities to better integrate health care services and social services.

Thank you, Senator Collins, for convening this really important hearing.

The only way that we fulfill our climate obligations is to get people out of their cars, to convince people to get out of planes, and onto rail lines, the most green of all mass transit options.

I do not think it`s worthwhile to spend $4 trillion on infrastructure in this country if we have a rail line in the most highly populated part of the country that is fundamentally broken.

If that happens, there`s going to be a conversation in this country as to whether we can still be all in this together if voters really don`t -- their opinions don`t matter in certain parts of the country, and their choices can be…

I think, really what they are trying to do is just perpetuate this idea that there is fraud endemic in voting so that when Democrats win, an election in Texas for Senate, Governor, or the next Presidential Election, Republicans can…

So, we now have an opportunity to provide the right answer, which is to shift power and money from those elites to raise taxes on the billionaires and use that money to fund universal childcare and paid family leave and tax cuts for poor…

I would never ever contradict Brian Schatz. And he is indeed Right. I mean, this is an optimistic moment. Right now, we are being bold, right? We recognize the stakes. I would argue that the future of the country in many ways rides on what…

We have a Federal grant fund that I lead a letter every year of Republicans and Democrats asking for increased funding for magnet schools because they are a wonderful way for school districts and states to be able to bring kids together…

The intent of many others behind this public relations campaign isn't really to protect female athletes.

I suspect that Senator Tuberville's line of questioning will be the last time that we hear in this Committee about the issue of transgender athletes.

There are a bunch of Republicans who are actually interested in legislating, and that McConnell is no longer able to persuade all of his caucus to sit on the sidelines.

There`s a sizable group of us in the Senate who have made clear to leadership and the White House that we`re not going to entertain this smaller bipartisan package unless we are also moving forward on a budget reconciliation bill.

The bottom line is, are we making a difference in people`s lives and you are not if you aren`t solving the climate crisis.

For the information of Senators, there will be two rollcall votes starting at 11 a.m. and one vote at 1:45 p.m. ____________________

That deal right now as 20 votes, not 60 votes, we`re going to have to take a deep dive into the agreement that they`ve reached and, you know, square it with the needs of our voters.

I think it would be ridiculous for us to view this through a political prism, so I get that columns get written, giving us political advice, what we should be doing is making changes to law enforcement to properly respect civil rights of…

What the President is proposing whether it be in the rescue plan earlier in the year or in the jobs plan that is all bipartisan in the sense that Republicans and Democrats out in America support it.

Well, my sense is that that deal right now has 20 votes, not 60 votes, we're going to have to take a deep dive into the agreement that they've reached and, you know, square it with the needs of our voters.
