He`s the central person in this saga, and at some point, his testimony is going to be obtained.

as we go over the wonderful things that Build Back Better offers--including tax benefits for families with children, support for home care and childcare for family members, lower prescription drug costs--I want to focus on a particular…

This is an attempted coup d`etat within the Department of Justice against the attorney general.

I think there’s three really key takeaways from. This first it’s a very simple one, and that’s how deeply, personally involved, President Trump, was in all of this -- meetings, in phone calls, and contacts, Oval Office, he was neck deep in…

I think their play was make Mitch take us as close to a debt limit crisis as we can to see if the democrats fold. And when we didn’t, they realize that a global economic meltdown led by a U.S. debt limit crisis was going to blow them up…

It is annoying as hell to fund FEMA and also have the State of Rhode Island have to pay for its own mapping because FEMA mapping isn't accurate.

I know FEMA ducked because a lot of the reason for the inaccuracy was that they would have to bake in climate change, and there are very powerful forces that want to punish anybody who talks about climate change.

I want to talk a moment about my REDUCE Act, which is the act to reduce plastic pollution, of which we have a lot. Humans have created 8 billion tons of plastic, and it is all over the place. It is in our water. It is in our rivers. It is…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll. (Mr. BOOKER assumed the Chair.)

Last, I want to point you at the 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) problem of hidden political dark money.

To me, that is at least predication for a false-statement case, because both are under oath.

We have gone through considerable effort to pass what we call beneficial ownership legislation.

When the Citizens United decision allowed unlimited money, they said it was going to be transparent.

I hope you will take a second look at this policy.

this stuff doesn't break down back into natural things. It just lives on as plastic indefinitely.

I return to the Senate floor to again discuss the scheme to capture our Supreme Court; in this case, it will be through the lens of how recent Justices got on the Court. And I will choose Brett Kavanaugh. I think we all remember the famous…

a short word on dark money. When the Republican justices on the Supreme Court opened the floodgates of unlimited money in the disgraceful Citizens United decision, that suddenly made something new very important, and that was to hide who…

just yesterday, the world's scientists offered an unequivocal warning to us about the condition of our planet. Every single one of us has a home State university that teaches climate science, and if we ask them, they will confirm that…

I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The bill (S. 1917) was…

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 107, S. 1917. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report the bill by title. The senior assistant…

I am delighted to follow my distinguished chairman on the Finance Committee as he gives assurances about our important work on climate change. The majority leader has announced that the final vote on the bipartisan infrastructure package…

I think, pretty damn close. I think we`ve got a lot of work to do to figure this out.

these speeches on the scheme by dark money interests to seize control of the Supreme Court are designed to describe it in all its repulsive intricacy. My last speech discussed an operation in this scheme within the Federalist Society. This…

I would like to ask unanimous consent to speak as if in morning business for, let's say, 22 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. U.S. Supreme Court

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk called the roll. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms…
