today I rise to honor Kimberly Hazelgrove for her service and sacrifices for our country and her successful efforts to advocate for families like her own who lost loved ones serving our Nation. Kimberly Hazelgrove is a former sergeant…

I thank the Senator from South Dakota. At the conclusion of President Trump's impeachment trial, I heard some of my Republican colleagues, most of whom I consider my friends, say that the President would be chastened by impeachment. Some…

thank you, and I thank the Republican leader. Last month, while this body was trying, as we know--and failing--to hold the President accountable for betraying the American people, President Trump went to Davos, and he doubled down on…

over the past 3 weeks, we have heard from the House managers and the President's counsel regarding the facts of the case against President Donald Trump. Much like trials in Lorain and Lima and Lordstown, OH, or in Marietta, in Massillon…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk on behalf of Senators Casey, Klobuchar, Warren, and Wyden for the House managers. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question for the House managers from Senator Brown and the other Senators…

Mr. Chief Justice, on behalf of Senator Wyden and myself, I send a question to the desk for the House managers. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. Senators Brown and Wyden ask the following question to the House managers: During yesterday's…

If acquitted in the Senate, what would prevent the President from continuing to side with Putin and other adversaries instead of our intelligence community and career diplomats?

I thank Senator Wyden. I thank him for his help in putting this all together. Not even close. We have seen trade agreement after trade agreement that simply is not--even when labor standards look fairly strong, they are not ever really…

First let me talk for a second about a sector that is very important in my part of the country: the auto sector. If a company cheats in an auto facility in a Mexican community and we find labor violations and we take action against that…

Correct, from that factory and also from other factories owned by the same automaker, so that you can't cheat one place and expect to get all your autos into the United States without tariffs. We thought a lot about this. Over the last 20…

I rise to honor a dedicated public servant whom we tragically lost last week, Chris Allen. Chris served in the Senate for nearly a decade, most recently on Senator Grassley's staff. I appreciate that Senator Grassley happens to be…

tomorrow I will do something I have never done in my time in the House and Senate. I will vote for a trade agreement for the first time in my career. I am voting for that trade agreement because of the work my colleague from Oregon Senator…

I saw this when Senator Wyden and I announced the success of getting Brown-Wyden into the bill. I heard from a lot of--shall we say--pro-Trump, pro-corporate lawmakers in this body, mostly on that side of the aisle but all over. They were…

Yes. Whether it is a call center or an auto factory, if the violations occur and there is evidence that there are violations-- and in many cases, we know about them because workers have spoken out-- then inspectors can go into those…

last week, the Senate Finance Committee voted on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. It is called USMCA. I did something I have never done. I voted for it. I have never voted for a trade agreement in my time in the House of Representatives…

in the fall of 2016, just 4 years ago, I heard Candidate Trump repeatedly promise to get rid of the North American Free Trade Agreement--to pull out of it, to renegotiate it, or to fix it so that it worked better than it did. I didn't…

I rise today to honor a heroic Ohio veteran whom we lost this month, CPL Fred B. McGee. Corporal McGee served in Korea, where he and his squad leader were both wounded in the bloody Battle of Hill 528. With his leader down, and despite his…

3\1/2\ years or so ago, I live in Cleveland, and I was in my State watching the Presidential campaign. I heard Candidate Trump repeatedly talking about renegotiating NAFTA or getting rid of the North America Free Trade Agreement. While I…

I rise to talk about an issue that the Senate may address on the floor this week. Tomorrow in the Senate Finance Committee, we are going to take up the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement. One of my proudest votes as a Member…

I appreciate the comments of Senator Carper and Senator Wyden and all the members of the tax-writing committee with Senator Stabenow. I believe a couple more Senators will join us--I believe Senators Cardin and Cantwell. Thanks for the…

I rise today to honor a Cleveland native, a Buffalo soldier, and an Olympic legend--Harrison Dillard. Mr. Dillard died last month at the age of 96. His life included service to our country in World War II, four Olympic gold medals, and…

I appreciate Senator Menendez always speaking up for human rights, regardless who the President is, regardless of any colleagues running for President, whenever the President calls on them, and Senator Menendez has always been a Senator…

Yes, that is exactly right. It should be an easy process. We know how to do it at the Veterans Administration. The cost is 40 or 50 percent of what typically is the cost a patient pays. The other thing we could do--and we were this close…

I reserve the right to object. I and my colleagues here--Senator Carper, Senator Coons, and prominent Democrats in the education debate--have deep concerns about Senator Alexander's proposed micropackage. To be sure, it is a micropackage…

I was walking by and heard Senator Wyden--I do not usually sit over here--Senator Wyden was speaking about healthcare. It is just so clear to me some of the things that this body could be doing to bring down the cost of healthcare and to…
