Chuck Schumer

We could prevent a catastrophic default with a simple majority vote tomorrow, if Republicans would just get out of the damn way we could get this all done.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:51 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, October 5, 2021, at 10 a.m…

I thank my dear friend, our majority whip and the senior Senator from the State of Illinois, as well as someone who was my roommate for, well, decades, I guess. ____________________

We could prevent a catastrophic default with a simple majority vote tomorrow, if Republicans would just get out of the damn way.

We will need to get a bill extending the debt ceiling to the President's desk by the end of this week. We aren't asking Republicans to vote yes, even though it's debt that they incurred. We are simply asking that they get out of the way.

We must get a bill to the president`s desk dealing with the debt limit by the end of the week. Period.

We are ready to move forward. We have an agreement on the CR, the continuing resolution, to prevent a government shutdown. And we should be voting on that tomorrow morning. So I am going to make that an order now. ____________________

I understand there are three bills at the desk due for a second reading en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Lujan). The clerk will read the bills by title for the second time. The legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S. 2868) to…

The Senate is set to vote on a clean continuing resolution that would allow the government to stay open past the deadline of midnight tomorrow night.

For the information of Senators, the first rollcall on the confirmation of the Donfried nomination will be at 11:30 a.m. ____________________

What the Republicans in the Senate did tonight is not normal. This isn`t your typical Washington practice, and it shouldn`t be treated as such. It has far more severe consequences than the typical political cat fight.

The Republican Party has now become the party of default. The party that says America doesn’t pay its debts, keeping the government open and preventing a default is vital to our country’s future. And we’ll be taking further action to…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the provisions of S. Res. 386. There being no objection, as a further mark of respect to the late Robert Britton Dove, Parliamentarian Emeritus…

Leader McConnell spinning a tale, a web of subterfuge, deception and outright contradictions has said that he is going to vote no, and he urges Republicans to vote no. The truth is we`ll be voting to pay for the vote accrued under…

In order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I would object to further proceeding. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, the bill will be placed on the calendar. The ACTING PRESIDENT…

I understand there is a bill at the desk that is due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The leader is correct. The clerk will read the bill by title for the second time. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as…

For Republicans to suddenly throw their hands in the air and abscond from their responsibility to pay debt that they proudly supported is nothing short of a dine-and-dash of historic proportions.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:48 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, September 21, 2021, at 10:30…

The Republicans are doing a dine and dash of historic proportions that hurts the American people and hurts our country. Both parties will have to come together to allow the federal government to continue its most important responsibility…
