Sheldon Whitehouse

I hope sent a message that bipartisanship may actually emerge in this area.

I personally regret that Senator Braun has chosen to term limit himself because I really value him as a colleague.

From our perspective, I think there is no national lead ban on hunting on Federal lands.

If we end up going into this Republican threatened default, and all the pain and calamity that all of the witnesses have forecast comes to pass, people in America are going to want to know who is responsible.

House Republicans have armed the default hand grenade, and pulled the pin, and have it in their hands, threatening to blow it up with all of the consequences that each of you have forecast, and the question is for whom?

What is in plain view in the House Default on America Act is 275 out of 315 pages that are giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

My hard earned experience tells me that when the Republican Party acts on pollution related and corruption related issues, the Party acts as the glove for fossil fuels dark hand.

It would be fair to describe that as crashing the American solar industry.

For the record, the MAGA extremists in the House who were essential to McCarthy's speakership have said that nothing less than the Default on America Option will pass.

No apology needed, Senator Lujan, you have a very important voice.

I'm thinking about the folks who have the car loans on adjustable, or they have adjustable rate mortgages.

You do not mess with the American debt.

Come to the table. Work with us to simply pay our country's bills like we have so many times before.

Do not let Speaker McCarthy's partisan, hostage taking win the day, and lose the 21st Century.

What House Republicans have voted for is one massive gift to the Chinese government.

Make no mistake, it doesn't matter who you vote for, what state you live in, or what you make.

That is the Default on America Act that House Republicans are taking our economy hostage for.

What House Republicans passed does nothing to protect the benefits and support that veterans have earned.

It doesn't control spending, so let's just get rid of the debt ceiling all together.
