The expanded child tax credit essentially provides a tax cut for middle-class families, cutting childhood poverty nearly in half nationwide.

Some people don’t want some people to vote.

Subsidizing early childhood education will accomplish that by making sure that more children, the parents and the families of more children can afford the high-quality investments

We are building the foundation for the kids that will be here tomorrow to run our Nation.

If Congress invested what it should in high-quality childcare, how could this actually benefit the broader economy even for folks who do not have children?

I think it is one of our Nation's travesties, the wages that childcare workers are paid.

Some people don’t want some people to vote.

Surely some of my Republican friends believe in this chamber we should be able to debate about voting rights. After all, voting rights are preservative of all other rights and what could be more hypocritical and cynical than invoking…

Across the nation, constitutional rights are being assaulted, and I fear that if we don’t act as a body in this moment, we will have crossed a dangerous Rubicon in our nation.

Right now, across the nation, constitutional rights are being assaulted. And I fear that if we don’t act as a body in this moment, we will have crossed a dangerous Rubicon in our nation that will make it extremely difficult for the next…

Congress should ensure that all of the agencies working on network deployment communicate with each other, set similar standards, and make it easy for entities to coordinate applying for money.

Thank you, Senator Warnock, for highlighting the importance of digital equity.

What could be more hypocritical and cynical than invoking minority rights in the Senate as a pretext for preventing debate about how to preserve minority rights in the society?

I have never been opposed to voter ID, and in fact, I don’t know anybody who is who believes people shouldn’t have to prove that they are who they say they are.

I have long been a big supporter of Medicaid, Medicaid expansion, Medicaid as the primary source of coverage for long-term services and supports in the United States.

Providing care would actually enable people to work, which is an interesting observation.

It is an issue I have been working on for a while and continue to work on.

These critical services enable aging individuals and people with disabilities to remain in their own homes, to stay active in their communities, to lead independent lives instead of moving to institutional settings.

But in the end, if the people can have their voice in a democracy is not a democracy.

I`m having conversations with my colleagues all the time. And I think that the statement, unfortunately made by the Republican leader on yesterday, that says he doesn`t even want to support John Lewis suggests that they don`t understand…

I`ve talked to Joe Manchin as a colleague, and not only him but other members of the caucus, and we`re having important and I think productive conversations on both sides of the aisle. There will be some back and forth, some…

Congress could design NIL legislation that would require colleges to offer student-athletes training and other valuable resources that advance their education and health.

I am proud that we are elevating the health, professional, and academic needs of America's college athletes in the discussion regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) legislation.

I believe that by working together with athletes, coaches, athletic directors, and other involved parties, we can develop NIL legislation that benefits athletes and universities.

It is important that Congress address more than just NIL in any potential legislation.
