Amy Klobuchar

Crisis? You know what a crisis is? You know what chaos is? Chaos is those voters in Milwaukee standing in line in their garbage bags in the pouring rain, with homemade masks. Chaos was that law in North Carolina that the Republicans passed…

There is a concerted effort, not only in Georgia, but in Texas, to basically take away people`s freedom to vote.

I know that surveillance in animals is important for animal health and also for public health.

I am the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee's Antitrust and Competition Subcommittee, and I am glad that President Biden recently issued his Executive order.

I think it is absolutely imperative that we maintain the dual mission of innovating to imagine new products...

We need to be in sync across agencies and across sectors to really make sure that... we have everyone pointed in the right direction.

The importance of interagency coordination really can't be overemphasized in this case.

We are proud of the work that has been done on this bill, the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act.

It is my hope that as America recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and as our country continues to grapple with the injustice of systemic racism, that you will hold fast to your commitment to the value that every worker in this country…

I believe that protecting workers rights to organize and to bargain collectively for better working conditions and better wages and benefits actually contributes to the competitiveness of our economy.

My dear friend and colleague, Senator Klobuchar wrote an entire book about antitrust, the challenges we face and what we can do to make our economy more competitive.

I have introduced legislation that is a broader approach to reforming our antitrust laws.

Without us at least doing something to enforce the antitrust laws, and why Adam Smith himself, the Godfather of capitalism, warned against a standing army of monopolies that we must always be aware of in order to make capitalism work.

I think we all know in our different ways that America has a monopoly problem.

The Executive Order is extraordinary in that it is a repudiation of I think where we have gone wrong.

I really appreciate their bipartisan efforts over in your House of Representatives.

Making sure that, to me, immigration reform is a piece of this.

I think we need an overhaul of our antitrust laws, if you really want to get at all these things at once.

Earlier this year, the Senator introduced the Competition and Antitrust Law Enforcement Reform Act.

I really come at this from a point of wanting to rejuvenate our capitalist system.

I think we all know he means business.

And that is why Senator Grassley and I passed in the U.S. Senate our bill to change the merger fee structure.

It is not okay to take away people`s right to vote and to make it hard for people to vote.

I would abolish the filibuster and I have come to that decision after seeing obstruction after obstruction on so many important pieces of legislation.

This is the moment to get it done.
