Chuck Schumer

I pose a second question. Isn't it true that our Republican colleagues have been in the majority for 5 years and that during that time, more and more Americans believe global warming is a serious problem? I think it is above two- thirds…

Will the Senator--Mr. President, will he yield? He didn't really answer my question. What will he do about climate change? I ask my colleague to please answer not what he is against but what he is for. We have not heard from the other side…

I would like to ask my colleague a question. I appreciate that. Just three: No. 1, does he believe that climate change is real? Does he believe it is caused by humans? And does he believe this body ought to do something about it? I would…

Will my colleague from Texas yield for a question instead of just filibustering what he says?

Just briefly, I heard my good friend, the Republican leader, decry H.R. 1. He called it the Democratic protection act. Well, if making it easier for people to vote and getting Big Money out of politics hurt the Republican Party and is good…

Let me thank the chair of the Energy Committee, the senior Senator from Alaska, for the wonderful work she always does around here. She has the respect of Members on both sides of the aisle. She tries to do the right thing and ends up…

He is putting you and your colleagues in an untenable position and hurting the national interests in the process. You must find a way to make that clear to him.

Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats have made clear to Leader McConnell and Republicans that they will not support funding for the wall, prorated or otherwise.

Senator Chuck Schumer today accused President Trump of using people as leverage, in his words, in the shutdown.

He asked Speaker Pelosi, will you agree to my wall? She said no. And he just got up and said we have nothing to discuss and just walked out.

Why won't you sign these bills, and then over the next 30 days we'll negotiate the DHS funding.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays to you, sir, and to the legislative staff. I ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

First, Mr. President, let me add my words of fond farewell to the senior Senator of Utah. Back in the good old days, we worked on a whole lot of things together, when the place was a little less partisan--immigration, patents, and so many…

When the Senate brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble.

But we believe you shouldn't shut it down.

This morning, the life and career of the 41st President of the United States was celebrated at the National Cathedral. Friends, family, former leaders of our country, and leaders from around the world gathered to pay tribute to a life…

My heart is also heavy today at another loss: Giles Perkins, who was one of the top lawyers in Birmingham, AL, and the former head of the Alabama Democratic Party. He died of cancer over the weekend. He was a close friend and mentor of one…

They had released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.

Let me say to the people of Florida, Georgia, and everyone else affected by Hurricane Michael that our thoughts and hearts are with you. Having worked and lived through the recovery of Hurricane Sandy in my home State of New York, I…

I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination with everything I have. I have a bipartisan--and I hope a bipartisan majority will do the same. The stakes are simply too high for anything less.

I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh.

The best judge of whether or not somebody should be on the Supreme Court is decisions that they have made at lower courts.

Do you consider Roe v. Wade to be an abomination?

Thank you. The words say ``shall have access to those records.'' Is there anything that undoes those words in the rules? The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Will the Senator restate the question?

I think some of the ideas that Senator Warner put forward in his paper earlier this week are absolutely worth very, very serious conversations.
