My goal remains to pass both the bipartisan infrastructure -- both -- my goal remains to pass both the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a budget resolution during this work period. Both. It might take some long nights, it might eat into…

I hope to get the bill passed this week but that, of course, involves Republican senators.
First, before I get into the substance of my remarks, I just heard Leader McConnell's statements on debt ceiling. The leader's statements on debt ceiling are shameless, cynical, and totally political. This debt is Trump debt. It is COVID…
In order to place the bill on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I would object to further proceedings. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, the bill will now be placed on the calendar.
I understand there is a bill at the desk that is due for a second reading. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will read the title of the bill for the second time. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (S…
Senators of goodwill on both sides want to finish the bipartisan infrastructure bill before the August recess. But in order to finish the bill, we first need to agree to start. That`s the first step. Let`s all agree to start. That`s what…

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 7:24 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, July 20, 2021, at 10 a.m…
This is not a joke. This is not a drill. This is for real for the first time in years. It really is about to be infrastructure week.
This is a big F`ing deal, one of the biggest F`ing deals that`s been passed in decades and decades.
Everyone has been having productive conversations, and it's important to keep the two-track process moving.
And as I've said from the start, Madam President, as I've said from the start, the two tracks of infrastructure are going to move in tandem.
I will have my remarks, but first I will do a little bit of housekeeping. ____________________
Every major program that President Biden has asked us for is funded in a robust way. This wonderful plan that (INAUDIBLE) American families in a so-profound way more than anything that`s happened in generations. We are very proud of this…
These folks are going to be remembered on the right side of history. The governor and the Republican legislators will be remembered on the dark and wrong side of history.
Democrats are doing all they can to block the dangerous partisan bill. They are brave, they are bold, they are courageous, and history will show them on the side of right. And the Republican governor, I saw him on TV this morning, on the…
I send a cloture motion to the desk. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The cloture motion having been presented under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion. The legislative clerk read as follows Cloture Motion We, the…

Finally, I ask unanimous consent that the mandatory quorum calls for the cloture motions filed today, July 12, be waived. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
My intention for this work period is for the Senate to consider both the bipartisan infrastructure legislation and a budget resolution.
Chuck Schumer warning Democrats to brace for a jam packed July trying to push through Biden`s infrastructure agenda with quote, moderates and progressive still at odds over how much you spent.
First, I have a message for the information of the Senate. I understand there is an important meeting at the White House this morning that several Members are attending. So in order to accommodate them, the first vote will start at 10:45…
