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.
People are now realizing the Republican Party is becoming a MAGA Trump Republican Party.
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.
This is a very, very, very big deal, including reducing prescription drug costs, fighting climate change, closing tax loopholes exploited by big corporations and the wealthy and reducing the deficit. I believe we will have 50 votes to pass…
We`re actually helping the American people instead of just playing political games.
If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:52 p.m., adjourned until Saturday, August 6, 2022, at 12 noon…

The Senate will take tomorrow off but will reconvene on Saturday and hold the first procedural vote to begin consideration of the bill.
For the information of the Senate, there will be two rollcall votes at 1:45 p.m., with additional rollcall votes possible. ____________________

A strong pro-choice turnout we saw last night in Kansas will continue well into the fall, and Republicans who side with these extremist MAGA policies that attack women`s rights do so at their own political risk.
This is a wonderful moment, especially for all the people who have made this happen who are observing it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. ____________________
