Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice. I send a question to the desk on behalf of myself, Senator Cortez Masto, and Senator Rosen. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The question for the House managers from Senators Stabenow, Cortez Masto, and Rosen to both…

I want to join with my colleagues today in expressing great dismay as we are approaching the 2-year anniversary of the massive Republican tax giveaway. Middle-class families and workers have not gotten even remotely close to what they were…

let me speak more specifically about healthcare. I come to the floor every week and say the same thing, which is that healthcare is personal, not political, for each one of us. That is really true in our own families. We want whatever it…

I have just come on the floor and have to chuckle about my friend from Texas in his deciding that it is the minority in the Senate that is holding up legislation that needs to be brought up when we have been coming to the floor every day…

this week, America is paying tribute to more than 19 million people in our country and a half million people in Michigan who show us every day what service is all about. America's veterans have served in many ways and on many different…

I support the sentiments of my colleague from Illinois in objecting to the ``small refinery relief'' language in the fiscal year 2020 Interior appropriations bill. In the past, this language has been invoked by the Trump administration's…

I rise today to pay tribute to a woman who was more than just our colleague. She was our friend, and I am missing my friend today. When I think about Senator Kay Hagan, I remember a lot of things. First was her deep dedication to public…

I rise today to pay tribute to Congressman John Conyers, Jr., a civil rights icon, lifelong public servant, lover of jazz, and champion for his beloved hometown of Detroit. Congressman Conyers was born in Detroit on May 16, 1929, and spent…

I think you have heard me say before on the floor that healthcare is personal--not political. I think it is for all of us and our families. Healthcare affects everybody, whether they are Republican or Democrat, urban or rural, cheer for…

I want to thank my colleague. I think he stepped to the back. No one has been a better champion for our miners and their families than Senator Joe Manchin. Every single day, he brings to us the needs of our coal miners and people who have…

I rise this evening with many of my Democratic colleagues to speak about an issue that is on the minds of families all across our country. I thank Senator Murphy for organizing this very important action this evening. Back-to-school always…

before our distinguished leader and chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee leaves, I want to thank him for his hard work. Having grown up in a small, rural community in Northern Michigan, I can speak directly to…

I first want to thank my friend and colleague from Ohio for his passion and for caring so deeply, as we all do in our caucus, fighting for people's healthcare. It seems every week I am down on the floor saying exactly the same thing…

I rise today to pay tribute to my longtime staff member and friend, Bill Sweeney, who will be moving on to a new challenge in his career after nearly 20 years of service on my team. Bill actually started working on the campaign November 1…

I rise to once again talk about the truly obscene cost of prescription drugs and the No. 1 thing we can do to lower prices. It is spelled out right here: Let Medicare negotiate. It is very simple. Let Medicare negotiate to bring down the…

I rise to talk about something I have talked about many times on the floor and to reiterate over and over again that healthcare isn't political; it is personal. It is personal for people in Michigan. It is personal for every person, every…

I was looking to my colleagues because I think we all understand and are trying to accommodate each other's schedules and have the opportunity to speak on the floor. So I appreciate the opportunity to say a few words. I first thank Senator…

first, I want to congratulate the senior Senator from Iowa and say what a wonderful story that is about his mom. And to see a picture like that--it is such an inspiring story. He certainly has a lot to be proud of in many, many ways. I say…
