I ask unanimous consent that we be given 2 minutes so that the Senator from Rhode Island can ask a question of the Senator from Wyoming. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.

last night, President Trump's Justice Department issued a letter to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals calling for the elimination of healthcare coverage for tens of millions of Americans. Up until last night, the Trump administration had…

My friend from Wyoming said I said: ``Bring on the vote on the Green New Deal.'' I did, not because I think it is a smart thing to do--it is a stunt--but it will finally get us to talk about climate change, something the other side has not…

would my friend from Wyoming, who mentioned my name, yield for a question or three?

I will be brief. The resolution does not say it has to be done immediately. The resolution certainly allows for the Attorney General to make sure that nothing is released that violates the law. All it says is that it ought to be released…

again, this language was good enough for every Republican in the Senate, as well as every Democrat. The President himself says it should be released. It is hard to understand why the majority leader should stand alone in objections no one…

first, all of us heard the sad news today--nice for him but sad for us--that Tom Udall will not seek reelection. He is one of the most principled, hardest working Senators we have. He is bright, he is dedicated, and he has such integrity…

Mr. Barr's public record of bias against the special counsel's inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report.

We don't want the White House and the president to have a sneak preview before it goes to Congress.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Recognition of the Minority Leader The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader is recognized. Tribute to…

this morning, something rather amazing and wonderful happened in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives this morning passed a resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the full report by Special Counsel Robert…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Braun). Without objection, it is so ordered. Unanimous Consent Request--H. Con. Res. 24

I thank my colleague and friend from Tennessee for deferring. First, on Donald Stewart, I know Leader McConnell talked about him. Everyone is going to miss him here in the Senate. He was truly somebody whom everyone liked. He always had a…

Thank you, Mr. President. Today, the Senate will vote on the resolution to terminate the President's declaration of a national emergency. Let me begin with a quotation. Revelations of how power has been abused by high government officials…

Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, I am deeply disappointed in my good friend from South Carolina. This amendment appears to be a pretext for blocking this very simple, noncontroversial resolution. Four hundred-twenty Members of…

Now, why did every Republican vote for this? That is because there is no good reason that the special counsel's report should not be made public. The American people are overwhelmingly for making the report public. They have a right to see…

We have 1 minute remaining, I think. I ask unanimous consent to speak in leader time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

tomorrow, the Senate will vote on a resolution to terminate the President's emergency declaration--a declaration that undermines our separation of powers in order to fund the President's wall with American taxpayer dollars, despite…

By the end of this week, the Senate must vote on the resolution to terminate the President's declaration of a national emergency. There are three very clear reasons to vote to terminate. First, there is no factual basis of an emergency at…

By the end of this week, the Senate will vote on a resolution to terminate the President's emergency declaration. I have laid out the number of reasons why the Senate must vote to terminate. The President has not demonstrated that an…

on another matter, voting rights, today marks the 54th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the protest march in Selma, AL, that led ultimately to the passage of the Voting Rights Act. It was one of the most noble acts in American history. The…

I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: S. 729 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives…

finally, on China, news reports continue to suggest that President Trump is close to cementing an agreement with Beijing that, unfortunately for America and for American workers, would fall far right of expectations. Earlier this week, the…

for all of the Senate's vaunted traditions about grand debates, we very rarely practice the actual art--the real back and forth, the exchange of ideas. For weeks now, we have heard our Republican colleagues come to the floor and rail…

maybe Leader McConnell doesn't realize this, but because of the political stunt vote he is planning on his version of the Green New Deal, for the first time in a long time, the Senate is finally debating the issue of climate change, and if…
