Amy Klobuchar

As part of the American Rescue Plan, as you well know, I worked with Senator Warren and others to make a significant investment in shoring up our child care system.

One of the two major--there are two basic issues that women face. One is lack of access to affordable child care, and the other is lack of access to paid family leave.

I have faith in our Attorney General Keith Ellison. They’ve got good lawyers on the case.

If January 6th didn’t turn you, I don’t know what does. There are people that literally are trying to upend our democracy, that don’t believe in people’s rights to vote.

What this is about is some people don’t want some people to vote.

What this is about is some people don`t want some people to vote.

If January 6th didn`t turn you, I don`t know what does. There are people that literally are trying to upend our democracy, that don`t believe in people`s rights to vote, that only believe in some people`s rights to vote.

Now, it is the regulators' opportunity and job to actually step in and make sure that all institutions are doing this so that the entire system can work for this transition.

I think it is just important to clarify and understand what it is that we are talking about here.

It would actually help protect the market and make better decisions so that we support those activities and financing those activities that do not put our financial system in danger.

I would like to invite my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join in the work that we have to do to address climate change.

Thank you, Chris. And by the way, this is an argument for getting Kristen Clarke and Vanita Gupta confirmed. They know what they`re doing on hate crimes, and we need to get them through the Senate.

They voted for change in Georgia. They voted for change when they voted for Joe Biden. And that’s why I favor of getting rid of the filibuster.

This bill is called simply For the People because it is about preserving our democracy.

Instead, what they’re saying is, we’re going to double down on our positions on everything from immigration, to choice.

I am tired of these archaic rules getting in the way of doing things for the American people.

Over 250 bills have been introduced to suppress the vote since January 1st.

I'm struck listening to this conversation and the questions from my colleagues about how important the Department of Labor is right now.

I want to just take a minute of my time also to note how exciting it is that we have finally made progress in the American Rescue Plan on passing essentially the Butch Lewis Act.

I think there are a lot of opportunities out there to making sure we have got the resources we need to carry them out.

I want to thank you for holding this really important hearing to discuss how farmers and foresters can play a leading role in climate change solutions.

I totally agree with that.

It is great to be with all of you, and I really appreciate this bipartisan hearing on this incredibly important issue.

I think all of this, as we take on climate change in a big, big way, we must find solutions not just for the world, but also it actually will benefit our farmers if we do this right.

We have so much work to do to make sure that farmers of color, diverse farmers have access and can participate.
