Amy Klobuchar

It's nice when occasionally common sense makes its way into law.

I think Tester said it all down there.

Twenty-five percent of all U.S. Nobel Laureates were foreign born.

I would prefer just to pass the Dream Act, get this done, and then we would not have the economic impact.

The Administration's decision to end DACA has created tremendous uncertainty for dreamers.

We say in Minnesota that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not entitled to their own facts.

I know Minnesotans will look forward to Senator Smith's actual first speech, but I think it is a tribute to our State that her first appearance on the Senate floor was about all of these Gold Medals in hockey and curling and skiing. Thank…

Thank you, Senator Cortez Masto, for drawing attention to the cost of delay for these projects.

Thank you so much for this hearing.

I requested this hearing on Senator Tester's bill, the Authorized Rural Water Projects Completion Act because in my state the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System is still awaiting federal funding to complete a project that was authorized…

It won't happen if the American people hold him to what he said today.

I don't think that's going to work. And they are talking to me about things like assault weapons, and they're talking about the background check that the president said he would support today.

He can say that all he wants. But then he's going to have to face all those kids in Florida.

The president clearly committed to a strong background check bill, a strong universal background check bill.

I think one difference is, that he has made this really clear, 10 times that he wanted a strong universal background check bill.

He said he didn't want a weak bill. It's clear he wanted to close the gun show loophole that he wanted to do something about background checks.

I introduced the Merger Enforcement Improvement Act as well as the Consolidation Prevention and Competition Promotion Act.

We have had some court cases that changed this, but, as you know, pharmaceutical prices have continued to increase.

And I want to thank Senator Cortez Masto for allowing me to go before her.

I'm actually working with Senator Murkowski on a way of making this work better.

My state stands to lose $800 million in Federal funding for MinnesotaCare.

I introduced the Seniors Fraud Prevention Act with Senator Susan Collins.

I introduced the bipartisan Innovate America Act with Senator John Hoeven.

Minnesota is into fishing, as you probably know. We're the land of 10,000 lakes.

I think it would just be really helpful for soybeans and really all grains if this could move forward.
