I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Russian Hybrid Warfare

I come to the floor again to urge an end to the Trump shutdown, which is over a month old--the longest in history. Let's be clear. This is the Trump shutdown. The President called for a shutdown two dozen times, and he said he would be…

I rise to discuss President Trump's ongoing shutdown of the Federal Government--how we got here, the impact on the people of my State, and how we can make some progress. It is past time for the President to stop holding the American people…

I ask unanimous consent that Dimitrios Meritis, a fellow in my office, be granted privileges of the floor for this session of Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

today I am once again introducing, along with my colleagues Senator Whitehouse, Senator Blumenthal, and Senator Murphy, legislation to designate river segments within the Wood- Pawcatuck watershed as part of the National Wild and Scenic…

I am because, first, you have the announcement of a policy in Syria that is going to be quite detrimental to our security interests, the stability in the region.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I want to take a moment to salute my colleagues who are departing the Senate at the conclusion of the 115th Congress: Bob Corker of Tennessee, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Dean Heller of…

Enormous amount of power. You know, we have done that in the past.

There was a significant vote on the War Powers Act with respect to Yemen.

There was a unanimous resolution condemning the killing of Khashoggi by the Saudis, particularly naming the crown prince.

not only is it difficult to look at GM buy back significant stock and then lay off thousands of workers, but your whole approach has been for the long-term Main Street investor.

Investors have been clear that continued access to proxy advisory firms is critical.

I rise to express my concern about the continued violence and humanitarian crisis in Yemen and to share my views on the resolution that is currently before us. The conflict in Yemen has persisted for far too long. I strongly support the…

That is good advice.

I think, frankly, we have to do better in finding out who actually owns these assets.

The Khashoggi murder was a violation of the basic norms of international behavior. And even the suspicion that the crown prince was involved or high level members of the Saudi government was involved raise a serious concerns about their…

Obviously we wanted her there, and it was not just one senator but a broad range, a bipartisan range wanted her opinion.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for your comments and for holding this very important hearing.

I chaired the trip with Senator Nelson to Afghanistan, and it was one of the many kindnesses and examples of leadership and friendship that he extended to me through a long time.

I again want to thank my colleague Senator Whitehouse for his very eloquent words about a great American, Claiborne Pell. Just a final comment. If you ever want to feel truly beloved, embraced by constituents, respected and admired, do…

next week will mark what would have been the 100th birthday of my predecessor, Senator Claiborne de Borda Pell, who was born on November 22, 1918. This year, appropriately enough, the date falls on Thanksgiving. We lost Senator Pell nearly…

today I am joined by Senators Perdue, Heitkamp, Tillis, and Jones in introducing the bipartisan Corporate Governance Fairness Act to ensure investors can continue to rely with confidence on the advice of proxy advisory firms by requiring…

This seems to be more of a political statement than a national security statement. And it is a political statement that the president is making just several days before the election.
