It's getting -- and that's why Mueller has to get to the bottom of this.

My gut tells me they do because they're not acting like people who don't have anything to hide.

People in the Trump administration aren't acting like people who don't have something to hide.

I'm not running. I want to run -- for re-election in 2020.

In order to get things done, you've got to be a good colleague.

That's trying to put some gloss on it that doesn't sound like what it was.

I ask unanimous consent that Katie Wright, a fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the year. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader…

I would like to commend my colleague from Alaska. Closer to the Poles, you see the effect of climate change more starkly. I am glad that she spoke on this issue. She is a real champion for her State, which means recognizing that climate…

I rise today to talk about the House Republican healthcare bill and the devastating effect that it would have on people with mental illness and those affected by the Nation's opioid epidemic. Nationwide, more than 52,000 Americans died…

I rise to talk about the healthcare bill the House of Representatives passed and is currently being considered behind closed doors by my Republican colleagues. I travel around greater Minnesota all the time, and when the Republicans'…

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise to discuss the Trump administration's effort to undo the open internet order. Together we must protect net neutrality and ensure that all content on the internet receives equal treatment from broadband…

Children in Indian schools must be able to learn in a modern environment with modern facilities like a lab.

It is unjust to expect Indian students to succeed academically if we fail to provide them with the proper environment to achieve that success.

I rise to address President Trump's stunning dismissal of FBI Director Comey yesterday evening. We know the Russians interfered in the 2016 election. We know the Russians did so in order to undermine confidence in our democracy. We know…

It is so unusual hearing in the Senate that things are intertwined.

I believe in support and will make sure there are not any loopholes that would allow workers to continue to be exploited.

I do not think you are taking it as seriously as you would an Ebola-level crisis.

before I begin my remarks on Judge Gorsuch, I just want to take a minute to talk about the chemical attack in Syria. Words cannot describe these vicious attacks against civilians. We have all seen the horrific footage of the victims, many…

This goes to the prices of drugs, which everyone in Minnesota talks about when I go around the State.

I think you would talk about Naloxone.

Can you commit that your organization and the companies that you represent will commit to doing everything they can to have transparency, to create transparency, so we can do whatever is possible to lower the cost to patients?

I would hope that we could do a hearing on pharmaceuticals--on the cost of pharmaceuticals at some point.

We need more transparency. We need more transparency in the drug supply chain.

I rise to talk about a path forward on healthcare. Last week, Republicans in the House failed to pass the American Health Care Act--a deeply flawed policy that amounted to little more than a massive tax break for the wealthy at the expense…
