I endorse the remarks of my friend Senator Graham, and I want to thank him for his persistent work on this issue. I would also like to recognize Senator Blumenthal and Senator Bennet, who had significant roles helping on our side, and…

first let me thank Senator Klobuchar for organizing us to come to the floor this evening and for her leadership to support our elections. And we got lucky this year. There is good news. Democracy prevailed against the Big Lie, and most of…

Thank you very much.

I rise today for my 286th ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, in this case to report back from the United Nations' 27th Conference of the Parties, or COP, the annual meeting where the nations of the world work to combat climate change. The Paris…

So we take a certain amount of pride in the Brownfields Program around Rhode Island, because it has good Rhode Island fingerprints all over it.

I thank the Senator from Hawaii, who has been such an ardent and effective ally in this fight, for coming to the floor today and for all of our work in the Judiciary Committee and also through briefs that we file in the Supreme Court…

the place where I left off, when Senator Thune came to the floor, was discussing the extent to which huge floods of dark money had taken control of our Supreme Court. I will just dig into that a little bit further while we have a moment…

I understand that Senator Thune is next in order on the floor, but not seeing him on the floor, I thought I would take the time before he arrives to echo the terrific remarks of my Judiciary chairman, Dick Durbin. As I think people know, a…

I wanted to come to the floor and kick off the process that will culminate tomorrow with our vote on the DISCLOSE Act. The DISCLOSE Act will get rid of dark money in our politics. President Biden gave a good speech about it yesterday to…

I also ask unanimous consent that the Secretary of the Senate be authorized to make grammatical, technical changes to the resolution of ratification with respect to Treaty Document No. 117-1 in order to reflect the addition of material…

I am here today as we close in on the vote on the DISCLOSE Act scheduled for tomorrow to urge my colleagues to vote yes on that measure. I have introduced the DISCLOSE Act in every Congress since Leader Schumer first unveiled it in 2010 on…

I ask unanimous consent that with respect to the resolution of ratification, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action. The PRESIDING OFFICER…

I have nine requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority Leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following…

That is, first of all, the call of the chairman and not of me so I can`t say that.

Institutional sclerosis perhaps. I think it ought to be in the department`s interest to get this information out.

Just looking at the court, you have to look at not one decision but a pattern of decisions.

I hope that they`ll be a little bit more responsive in this case.

There`s a compelling array of circumstantial evidence that this court is captured and that is the problem.

American people deserve to know who captured their Supreme Court and who keeps flooding our politics with dark money.

On the day Geoffrey Berman’s book was published, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman immediately announced that the committee will investigate the claims in the book that Donald Trump and William Barr tried to interfere with…

I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 10 a.m. on Wednesday, September 14, and that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be…

An evacuation route from a flood that is itself flooded is not a very good situation.

I am from Rhode Island, which is a coastal State.
