The EPA does a lot of work to restore its mission to protect human health and the environment.

I hope that you will come and visit New York State as Agriculture Secretary again.

It is a vital interest of mine that we talk about how we can reform dairy pricing.

I think it also needs to actually take into account the cost of production and what that is regionally.

Again, this is one of the reasons why President Trump lost the election. He continues to skew chaos throughout government. It's all about him. And he has to have retribution for those who don't fall in line and don't do these talks.

It is absurd that they continue to play this charade that the election has been decided. And I think it's harmful. And I'm tired of our Republican colleagues and Mitch McConnell, in particular, not standing up to the President and not…

Every day matters during a transition. It is absolutely critical that we put the politics aside and that we allow the proper transition of our government. That's what our democracy is founded on, the peaceful transition of government. And…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I rise today to remember a daughter of New York and an American giant. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an icon, a legend, and a role model for so many people, myself included. We may never see a jurist with her kind of courage again in our…

reserving the right to object, I ask unanimous consent that the request be modified so that in addition to the request of the Senator from Alaska, the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 317, S. 908, the Fluke…

Objection. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from New York.

I am reserving the right to object. This amendment list does not include my amendment No. 1932, a bill that the Presiding Officer and I have worked on and a bill that the majority leader has voted for. This amendment is so simple. It…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will withdraw my objection, and I look forward to working with you on the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there an objection to the original request? Without objection, it is so ordered. Under the order…

I rise to address a glaring inequality in the law--one that leaves our servicemembers with fewer protections from discrimination than civilians. On June 15, the Supreme Court issued a momentous decision--welcomed by Members of both…

I rise again to address another issue. I rise because, according to the Pentagon's recent biannual survey, almost 21,000 servicemembers were sexually assaulted in the year 2018. That was a 38-percent increase from the year before. I rise…

I rise to speak about an overwhelming and urgent need to reform the way our country approaches policing. The death of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, Andrew Kearse, and countless others are deeply…

I strongly disagree with both of my colleagues' statements because, in fact, there is no administrative burden given to the small businesses. In fact, our bill is doing exactly what the small businesses want, which is to provide direct…

across New York State and around the country, schools are closing and businesses are shutting their doors as we face this unprecedented crisis. This public health emergency has exposed the weakness in our economy and in our system. We are…

right now, across New York State, the country, and the world, we are facing a crisis not seen in a century. It risks the health of our families and the health of our fellow Americans as well as our economic present and future. We are at…

Colleagues, over the past few weeks, we have conducted the third impeachment trial in our entire Nation's history for a President. Let's be perfectly clear about something: Democrats did not want to impeach President Trump. From the start…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk on behalf of Senators Casey, Murphy, Rosen, and myself for the House managers. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you, Senator from New York. The question from Senators Gillibrand, Casey, Murphy, and…

I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment because, as it is written, it really rewards only companies that are very wealthy and successful with additional tax credits to do something they are already doing. By that measure, it will…

I rise to speak in opposition to the Republican motion to instruct on paid family and medical leave. Before I move to the issue at hand, I do want to address the very serious allegations against President Trump and the new information we…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for as much time as I consume. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Ukraine

I rise to join my colleague Senator Heinrich and others who have come before. I am calling on Senator McConnell to act now to address the gun crisis in our country. Every day that the Senate Republican leaders refuse to act, they are…
