we won't be voting for or against the President's policies.

move to a vote, hopefully sooner rather than later.

They are almost exactly what Democrats requested. Mr. President, I don't bring this up to play gotcha. I'm doing it to show that our requests are eminently reasonable, and in fact, have been shared by leaders of both parties.

first, I appreciate the remarks of my colleague the Republican leader. I understand the Republican leader's discomfort. There is a cry from his side to repeal, but it has been 6 years and they have no plan to replace. Repeal without…

I have another subject I wish to talk about, and maybe this one will be a little more constructive right now in terms of my Republican leader's response because he and I yesterday had a constructive meeting on the matter of processing the…

this approach met our needs for the last three Congresses, and I too would like to see it continue. In addition, special reserves have been restored to its historic purpose. We should continue to fund special reserves to the extent…

I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 8, submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The bill clerk read as follows: A resolution (S…

I just want to add my commendation. It was such a well done, brilliant, articulate, carefully thought out speech. But it is not a surprise because our new Senator, the junior Senator from Maryland, is like that. We are so excited to have…

Thank you, Mr. President. We have just agreed to the committee resolution numbers on each committee. I would make just a couple of points, if I might. Our caucus has some serious concerns about letting the Intelligence Committee and Armed…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.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. Affordable…

I apologize to my good friend the Republican leader. I couldn't be here for his remarks. I intended to be, but our President stayed longer and then I was meeting with the Vice President-elect. I apologize for that. I also wish to recognize…

They want to repeal it and try to hang it on us. Not going to happen. It's their responsibility, plain and simple. The Republican plan to cut health care wouldn't make America great again. It would make America sick again and lead to chaos.

Sen. Schumer Vows to Hold Trump Accountable

The Republicans in the Senate and the House have been run by a hard-right group, an almost tea party group, and they are so far away.

A sharp-edged economic message that talks about helping the middle class and people who want to get to the middle class get there more easily. We didn't have that in this election.

Making America great again requires more than 140 characters per issue. With all due respect, America cannot afford a twitter presidency.

The only way we're going to work with him is if he moves completely in our direction and abandons his Republican colleagues. 90-95 percent at a time we'll be holding his feet to the fire and holding him accountable.

When you lose an election like this, you can't flinch, you can't blink. You have to look it right in the eye, analyze it, learn from it.

If you do that, your presidency will not come close to being a success.

I said Mr. President-elect, you went after the Democratic and the Republican establishments when you run, you were an anti-establishment change candidate, but by your cabinet picks and early pronouncements you seemed to be embracing a…

We're playing no footsie. My views are exactly the same as Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Both of them have said the same exact thing, if we can work with him and be true to our principles we're not going to reject it. But, overall…

If Republicans think they can quickly jam through a whole slate of nominees without a fair hearing process, they're sorely mistaken.

Mr. Puzder who's supposed to be for labor, has been pretty anti-worker when he was the head of Hardees.

When it comes to issues like Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and Planned Parenthood, Congressman Price and the average American couldn't be further apart.
