Thank you for the recognition, Madam President. Today I rise to call on this body to defend the Constitution, to protect the separation of powers, and to safeguard Congress's role as a coequal branch of government. Today I am introducing a…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (The remarks of Senator Udall and Senator Collins pertaining to the submission of S.J. Res. 10 are printed…

I would associate myself with the comments of Senator Van Hollen, who I think hit the nail on the head when it comes to this overreach by the President. I rise in support of the growing calls for action on climate change that are echoing…

I rise to oppose the nomination of Eric Miller to be circuit judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Senate traditions command respect, and if we are going to change them, we should do so in a bipartisan way. Changing…

When Chevron tells us that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is right... I think the debate is over.

The DCP has to get across the finish line.

CO2 does, in fact, fertilize plants. But it causes a whole series of other problems.

There is a terrific opportunity with the negotiations that come up next year to redo the 2007 interim shortage sharing guidelines.

today I wish to pay tribute to Alfred K. Newman, one of last remaining Navajo code talkers, who passed away on January 13 of this year. Mr. Newman was born in Coolidge, NM, on July 21, 1924. He was Naaneesht'ezhi Dine'e--Zuni Clan--and…

Senator Kaine is yielding to me to talk about the Interior Department in the bill. Let me just thank him for his vigilance. When we have 800,000 Federal employees across this country and their families hurting, he has been vigilant with…

I rise today to talk about a New Mexico family who is severely impacted by the shutdown, and I think there are probably hundreds of thousands of families like this across the country. This is Leah Teresa Ornelas, her husband Ervie, and…

let me say to Senator Warner, my good friend from Virginia, who has an incredible empathy for the Federal workforce, we have the same thing in New Mexico, and to our good friend Senator Bennet from Colorado, we have Federal employees…

I rise to call on the President to stop holding the government hostage and trying to force taxpayers to pay for his border wall--a wall that would be ineffective and wasteful and that is rejected by the American people. President Trump…

thank you for the recognition. I rise on the Senate floor as a Senator from a border State--a State that borders with the country of Mexico--with a message from my State's proud border communities: We will not stand by as the President…

Today's hearing is an important step toward fully understand the scope and working to address the crisis in Indian Country.

We were able to secure $132 million, and that is for fiscal year 2018.
