There's one prominent senator, the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has not called for him to resign, so he is still in Menendez's corner at this point.

I am very glad to see cloture was adopted by a very large, bipartisan majority. This shows we can work together, even with our differences, for the betterment of the country. I hope the House follows suit. ____________________

I ask unanimous consent that the veto messages on S.J. Res. 9 and S.J. Res. 24 be considered as having been read and be printed in the Record and spread in full upon the Journal. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it recess until 10 a.m. on Wednesday, September 27; that following the prayer and pledge, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day…

let me first thank the Senator from Washington State, the chair of Appropriations. We worked together so hard and diligently over the weekend, and we produced a result, I think, that shows that bipartisanship can triumph over extremism…

as I have said for months, the only solution for avoiding a harmful government shutdown is bipartisanship. We now have 4 days to go until funding expires on Saturday at midnight. We are now right at the precipice. Yet, all last week…

Democrats have proposed cuts to Medicare advantage, which ignores the choice and competition these plans often offer consumers.

Unfortunately, anytime Republicans mention Medicare being in trouble, Democrats accuse us of trying to blow up the program.

It is literally life and death for millions of older Americans.

We do not need to look very hard to see how AI can warp our democratic systems this year.

Make no mistake, the risks of AI on our elections is not just an issue for Democrats, nor just Republicans.

if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand in recess under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:04 p.m., recessed until Wednesday, September 27, at 10 a.m.

Thank you, Chairwoman Klobuchar, for your continuing work on important legislative efforts to protect our elections from the potential harms on AI.

Actual proposals are what lead to actual agreements.

We can and must protect Medicare. We can and must do so without cutting benefits.
