now, for the 193rd time, I will give my ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, and as I do so, we are coming up on President Trump's anniversary in office. Unfortunately, this occasion does not offer the American people much to celebrate. Behind the…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for approximately 15 minutes as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Tillis). Without objection, it is so ordered. Climate Change

With that, I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma. Confronting Issues the Right Way

Bipartisan--passed by unanimous consent.

I have a general concern that environmental issues get very short shrift in trade negotiations.

What used to be adequate is not adequate.

Thirty to 1 seems like a lot, particularly given what is happening along our coasts.

In the Senate, there are moments of considerable bipartisanship. One area of bipartisanship has been the Ocean's Caucus that exists in the Senate.

As Members of Congress, we need to make sure that FEMA's mapping gets up to speed and that communities are not being asked to rely on false information and bad mapping estimates.

I am interested in your take on what sea level rise infrastructure impacts our ports are looking at.

I now yield, per the pending agreement, to my distinguished friend from Connecticut. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Rubio). The Senator from Connecticut.

I think we need to fix that. I know we have been through a problem of earmarks that received a lot of justified criticism. Our response was to abandon this responsibility entirely. I think that was an overreaction.

I am delighted to join my colleagues here in support of these kids who are known as Dreamers or DACA kids, who came in under the statute or under President Obama's program and who have lived here for many years in this country, passed all…

Senator Franken will shortly go on to his next chapter, which I hope will be wonderful for him and for Franni and for their family. I hope and believe that he leaves us with everyone's good will here in the Senate. He certainly leaves with…

I ask to speak for 3 minutes on behalf of my departing friend. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is recognized.

I am here now for the 190th ``Time to Wake Up'' speech to talk about an issue that falls at the intersection of climate change and jobs and consumer power and protection. You would think that a policy that simultaneously reduces the carbon…
