This bill is about caviar over kids and hedge funds over health care

The only way for Republicans to pass this horribly destructive bill, which is based on budget math as fake as Donald Trump's tan, was to go nuclear and hide it behind a bunch of procedural jargon.

This is the nuclear option.

Mr. President and colleagues, here is how flawed this plan is. The danger Senate Republicans are causing for rural hospitals is so great, Republicans have had to create a rural hospital relief fund so they can look like they are fixing the…

Everybody ought to understand, this is the nuclear option.

Republicans are STILL trying to sell off public lands in their budget bill.

I am going to get into the specifics of this horrifying bill, in a moment--all the details, the healthcare carnage, and the clean energy bloodbath that Republicans are dragging America toward. First, though, I want to spend just a few…

That ought to do it.

Are you for caviar or kids? Mar-a-Lago or the middle class? Hedge funds or healthcare? I know what side you're on—now we have got to make sure that a whole lot of Senate Republicans make the right choice too.

Senate Democrats are going to fight this with everything we’ve got.

The House Republican version of this bill was already a class war, but Senate Republicans decided to inflict even more devastation on the lives of working Americans to give even larger handouts to the top.

In my time in the Senate I’ve never seen a Senator treated this way. [Senator Padilla] is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents.

I have now looked at it. If you are following at home, our colleague Senator Padilla was carrying out his constitutional responsibilities to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. At that time, he was physically accosted…

This ought to be an easy no.

Had I been present for this vote, I would have voted no. Mr. Fotouhi has demonstrated an alarming record as a partner in the D.C. law firm Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher LLP, where he has represented an industry challenge to the Biden ban on…

I rise in support of his efforts. He is a valued member of the Senate Finance Committee, and this is a thoughtful approach to bring accountability at Social Security. The legislation directs the independent nonpartisan Government…
