I look forward to working with him to chart a new trade agenda that puts American workers first.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Republican Healthcare Bill

I join literally millions of Ohioans and tens of millions of Americans in my concern about what the House of Representatives is trying to do to our healthcare laws and our healthcare system. I leave just one statistic with my colleagues in…

the House's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act is dangerous and irresponsible. Just listen to Governor John Kasich, Republican Governor of my State, who says we should not be throwing 500, 600, 700,000 Medicaid beneficiaries--mostly…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 10 minutes on this resolution. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Americans are working longer and Americans are working harder than ever before, with less and less to show for it. Over the last 40 years, GDP has gone up, corporate profits have gone up, executive salaries have gone up--all because…

I rise in support of Dr. Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. However, I just can't resist, as I listened to my friend Senator Cornyn--and I do like and respect Senator Cornyn, and I do mean that. It is always said here…

I speak in opposition to Scott Pruitt, and I thank Senator Carper for the good work he has done in leading the opposition to someone who is a climate change denier and will not release information that the public should see. I want to say…

I would hope that you would use that as a platform to stand up against those two things, because they are devastating to working-class Americans.

What is not to love about that?

I think it is very critical that children have access to high-quality services.

Observation status is a huge concern for beneficiaries across my State.

I would like to ask you to commit to sitting down in person with Director Sears and perhaps, if she chooses and you choose, a group of Medicaid administrators from around the country, to discuss my State's and their States' priorities and…

It is critical that the Administrator of CMS evaluate State waiver requests to ensure that no individual struggling with addiction or a mental health condition loses coverage or access to affordable coverage.

I will recommend and support the reauthorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program for as long as possible.

Understanding, of course, what some people call 'rules and regulatory overreach,' others call 'consumer protection and environmental protection and work protections.'

Thank you for--it is an honor always to have you here, and a pleasure, and your insight is always helpful to all of us.

I have doubts about the Executive order that requires Federal agencies to eliminate two rules--in many cases, two consumer protections--for every new rule.

Just because people in high places say it is true does not make it so.

I want to follow up on an issue we have talked about: diversity in the Federal Reserve System.

If the rules are removed, Wall Street will almost assuredly be right back to their risky and reckless behavior.

It is a little like telling the highway department to take down 2 feet of guardrails for every foot it puts up.

Yet there are concerns. Too many Americans who want full-time work still cannot find it.

American families, hard-working American families need a Treasury Secretary who will work for them, not for Wall Street. Remember the tenor of the 2016 campaign, when candidate Trump, at every rally, spoke forcefully about draining the…

I appreciate your flexibility during Senator Hatch's speech. I thank Senator Duckworth and Senator Cortez Masto for their evolving leadership and for their passion about these issues.
