This is not about politics. This is about principle.

Now, the Trump administration, the most corrupt in living memory, but the problem is a long time big problem.

And I'm not smooching up to any billionaires hoping that they will fund super PACs on my behalf.

And I got a plan for that.

This isn't about polls. It's way too early to be talking about that, but it's about ideas. It's about talking with people about what's broken in our country.

Some say if we all just calm down, the Republicans will come to their senses. But our country is in a time of crisis. The time for small ideas is over.

a little while ago, the majority leader stood on this floor to speak about the investigation into the 2016 Presidential election. He triumphantly declared ``case closed''--``case closed.'' Wishing will not make it so. I read the Mueller…

I rise to discuss climate change, which is a great crisis currently facing our country and our planet. Let me start with a statement that is sometimes controversial in this Chamber: I believe in science. Here are three simple scientific…

I come to the floor to oppose the nomination of Neomi Rao to be a judge of the second most powerful court in the country. My decision boiled down to just this one question: Will Ms. Rao advance equal justice for all or will she continue to…

I join my colleagues on the Senate floor to discuss William Barr, President Trump's nominee to serve as America's next Attorney General. The Attorney General's job is to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign or…

There really is an important distinction of tribal citizenship. I am not a member of a tribe. And I have apologized for not being more sensitive to that distinction.

But we're going to have to build it together. We're going to have to take our government back. We're going to have to take it away from the wealthy and well-connected who have turned it in their direction, and we're going to have to make…

I think as a people, when we talk about our values, we talk about the things that we care most about, we can find some common ground and we can build on that ground, and we can make a real commitment.

Well, that's what he's done and we are now sitting here in the longest shutdown in American history.

We have the votes on the congressional side. But so far, Mitch McConnell is saying, no, the only one who has any power in Washington is Donald Trump.

This is manufactured crisis and it's starting to impose real pain -- real pain on families all across this country.

Look, we need to open the government. People are working jobs. I today was with TSA agents who are out doing their jobs trying to keep us safe, and they're not getting paid.

The death count in Puerto Rico has been proven to be now in the thousands.

It's just a prime example of government that works for the rich and the powerful and doesn't work for the people.
