And of course, the incredible, immensely dedicated staff, who gave it their all to finishing this bill. Let`s have a round of applause for the great staff -- White House and House and Senate.

I need to kind of impose myself a little bit here. Every senator knows an undeniable truth. We can never do what we do without our amazing, incredible staff. They work behind the scenes. They never fall under the spotlight, but they do…

People are now realizing the Republican Party is becoming a MAGA Trump Republican Party.

Look, I am not commenting until further information comes out. I think it's premature. And I think it's premature for everybody to comment. We don't exactly know what's there yet.

I do. Some have even compared it to things in the `60s, but it`s huge.

a large chunk of the Republicans... have become what I call MAGA Republicans, Trump Republicans with little respect for rule of law, with little respect for the balance of power of institutions, frankly with little respect for truth itself.

I think they`re going to pay a price for this in the election, and I think Democrats should use it as an issue that the rule of law, that protection of democracy is a key issue here.

the American people are smelling that this Republican Party, the MAGA Republican Party is not the old Republican Party which may have been conservative, may have been pro-business, may have not been very good on climate issues but at least…

Look, Joe Manchin and I disagree on climate, but this bill will reduce -- this proposal when it becomes law is the most massive change in fighting global warming that we`ve had.

I think the last six weeks with all the bills you mentioned and particularly this recent bill answered with a resounding, yes, Democrats can get things done.

Yes, yes. We've been gaining over the last few weeks or the last few months, Anderson because people are seeing the Republican Party's extreme.

The most significant thing we've done against global warming ever by legions by a whole lot.

We have put money in for more auditors, and only for people who make above $400,000.

Well, pretty soon, for instance, the price of drugs will go will be limited. Insulin for Medicare patients will go down to $35 a month.

A caucus running from Bernie Sanders to Joe Manchin.

At last, we have arrived. And we are elated. Every member of my caucus is elated about what happened, because we have -- really, we have changed the world.

Kansas was just the start. If it's going to happen in Kansas, it's going to happen in a whole lot of states.

I move to proceed to executive session to consider Calendar No. 985. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is on agreeing to the motion. The motion was agreed to. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the…

I further ask that the bill be considered read three times and passed and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is…

I ask unanimous consent that the senior Senator from Maryland, Mr. Cardin, be authorized to sign duly enrolled bills or joint resolutions from August 8, 2022, through September 6, 2022. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection…

we approach the culmination of one of the most productive stretches in recent Senate memory. It began almost 2 months ago when, in the wake of unimaginable bloodshed in Buffalo and Uvalde, the Senate came together and passed the first gun…

if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the provisions of S. Res. 748. There being no objection, the Senate, at 3:42 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, August 9, 2022, at 9 a.m., under the…

finally, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn to then convene for pro forma sessions only, with no business being conducted, on the following dates and times and that following each pro…

I want them to know how much I appreciate their work, how great a difference they have made. This bill is going to change America for decades, and you did it. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you should never forget how much you have…

to the floor staff, particularly the Parliamentarian, who worked so hard under not easy conditions. And especially because we had to do so much in such a short period of time, we thank you so. The clerks, the doorkeepers, the…
