Did the president of the United States acquit his constitutional responsibilities when he sent a mob, an inflamed mob, up to the Capitol, for the purpose of their disrupting the orderly counting of the electoral votes?

We would really like to see the questions answered. Where we have been stonewalled on questions in the prior Administration, we would like that backlog of questions cleared.

Chair Capito and I, who have rather different views about climate issues and fossil fuel emissions and so forth, have worked together along with a lot of other colleagues in a very bipartisan support for carbon capture technologies.

You would be coming into an agency that in my view was more or less captured by the fossil fuel industry.

You don’t have to know who hit Officer Sicknick in the head with the fire extinguisher to know that Donald Trump failed at those duties.

Yes. While Trump was a flamboyant offense to democracy, there was also this creeping insinuation of dark money into our political system. and it is probably just as dangerous as Trump`s flamboyant excesses.

I have been asking the FBI and the Department of Justice from the beginning to treat this as a kind of investigation where you do the work of looking to see who is behind it. You follow the money, you look at the groups, the follow…

I rise today to pay tribute to a beloved figure in the Senate community, the late Barbara A. O'Malley, who passed away on January 6. For three decades, Mrs. O worked in the office of our former colleague, Senator Barbara Mikulski of…

Nature keeps sending us messages about what is happening out there. And in Washington we continue to ignore those messages. But they keep on coming.

Instead of urging that it`s time to wake up, I close this long run by saying now, it`s time to get to work.

Thank you, Senator Inhofe. I am grateful to the senior Senator from Oklahoma. We are, indeed, fairly fierce adversaries on the issue of climate, but it is a fervent prayer of mine that that might change because I have had the experience of…

You are the Hank Aaron. You are the Roger Maris. So I appreciate it and thank you.

I am particularly glad to see the senior Senator from New Mexico presiding on what, for me, is a sentimental moment, because he has been such a terrific friend and colleague and advocate in the battle of climate change. I am here today…

Thank you, Senator Inhofe, for your courtesy for coming to say those words. I truly appreciate it.

The climate is an emergency and that the U.S. government needs to do more and that we need to lead the world on innovating and adopting and investing and confronting the climate disaster.

Nature keeps sending us messages about what is happening out there. And in Washington we continue to ignore those messages. But they keep on coming.

Instead of urging that it`s time to wake up, I close this long run by saying now, it`s time to get to work.

I would just close by suggesting that perhaps my friend, the Senator from Alaska, can sympathize, since he fears that the interests that he came to the floor here to defend will not be listened to. Perhaps he can sympathize with the fact…

I have hastened to the floor because I was upstairs, waiting for the House managers to bring the article over, and I heard my friend, the distinguished Senator from Alaska, talking about his concern about the fossil fuel part of the energy…

The Senate has to do something. And the Senate has consigned this responsibility to the ethics committee.

I am okay with whatever the timeline is. I think that, you know, every defendant needs a chance to hire a lawyer, put their case together and prepare for a trial.

I think he`s really undermining himself. McConnell is, right now, he`s making the case for procedural reforms to allow a majority to do its business.

It gives me particular pleasure to be here to recommend a career Foreign Service officer and a native Rhode Islander, Brian Nichols.

I believe that foreign corruption and kleptocracy are inimical to our national security interests.

Latin America is facing the recurrence of flawed elections, deterioration of the separation of powers, attacks on journalists and freedom of the press.
