McConnell is facing reality, and it bothers him a lot. The filibuster is on its way out. It’s not a question if. It’s a question of when it goes away.

I have been for statehood for D.C. forever. And how can we, as a country, have the federal enclave treated differently than the other 50 states? It’s not -- it’s not right.

The filibuster is going away. It is nothing that helps the country. It doesn’t help states. It doesn’t help individuals. It is on its way out. It’s a question of when it goes.

The filibuster is nondemocratic. It has been used to the disarray of the Congress. And, certainly, it hasn’t been anything that has helped -- been helpful to the American people. It’s got to go.

The Democratic Party, their vice chairman wears a T-shirt that says we're for open borders.

It is unclear what . . . duty [third-party set-top box providers] would have to protect programming content or otherwise comply with the licensing agreements

Real value . . . not in producing or selling the [set-top] box but in the data that the box will collect.

Oh, Jerry, you just need to understand we are not going to do anything.

Reserving the right to object, we have to be back here in 2 hours anyway. I would ask my friend if he would be willing to come to the floor at about 10 minutes to 10 again to renew his request. I have a few calls I need to make to make…

After a quarter of a century, Senator Glenn left the Senate, and here is what he said: ``Yeah, I'll miss it, sure. But you move on to other things. That's it.'' That was John Glenn. He moved on to other things. Until a couple of years ago…

I am going to give a speech here in a minute regarding Senator Mikulski. But the reason I mention that is I want the record to reflect that Chairman Rogers has been so nice to me whenever we have gone to public events and events dealing…

I see no one on the floor. So I ask the Chair to tell us the business of the day. ____________________

I would like to say just a few words about Gwen Ifill. It really was too bad that she died at age 61. She was a woman who broke barriers. Every step of her life was something new and inspirational for those around her. I watch the…

I very much appreciate the prayer of Admiral Black. He always does his best to set the tone. I appreciate the tone that he has set this afternoon. I appreciate him and what he does very much. I welcome everyone back. We have been gone…

He called on Donald Trump to rise to the dignity of the Oval Office and tell the country that he is going to be a unifier there -- in very stark language that we seldom hear on floor of the U.S. Senate.

On Wednesday, 7th grade girl awoke feeling frightened being a woman of color in America because Donald Trump was president-elect. If we ignore her voice and other voices, this seventh grader will be left to conclude that we, as a nation…

As long as a champion of racial division is a step away from the Oval Office, it will be impossible to take Trump's efforts to heal the nation seriously. So I say to Donald Trump, take responsibility. Rise to the dignity of the office of…

If Trump is serious about seeking unity, the first thing he should do is rescind his appointment to Steve Bannon. Rescind it. Don't do it. Think about this. Don't do it.

It is easy to see why the KKK views Trump as their champion when Trump appoints one of the foremost peddlers of white supremacist themes and rhetoric as his top aide.

Through partisan actions, you may have broken the law. In tarring Secretary Clinton with thin innuendo, you overruled long standing tradition and the explicit guidance of your own department.

It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties in coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government. A foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at…

I submit that--my friend still has the floor, so I don't want to interrupt.
