Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and good morning.

the Senator from Vermont and I don't agree on every issue. We represent very different States, come from very different political backgrounds. While I don't agree with everything he just said and while I am disappointed by his objection to…

the public supports abortion access and the right for a person to make their own personal health care decisions, whether one agrees with abortion or not.

this is a political struggle. It`s a generational struggle now.

This is the first time that a constitutional right has been taken away. What’s next? It’s going to be voting rights? Is it going to be marriage equality? Is it going to be civil rights? Is it going to be a ban on interracial marriages…

we`ve got to elect state, local and federal officials who want to protect reproductive freedom and personal liberties.

The only way we are going to beat this is to fight back. We have to galvanize. We have to organize. We have to -- first of all, that Mitch McConnell doesn’t establish a national abortion ban. That means we have to vote in November and we…

I ask unanimous consent that the Lee substitute amendment at the desk be considered and agreed to; that the bill, as amended, be considered read a third time and passed; and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon…

I rise to speak in opposition to the bill before us. All too often, we very often applaud instinctively the concept of ``bipartisanship'' but fail to actually evaluate the policies underlying bipartisan legislation and the effect that our…

for months, American moms and dads have endured an unprecedented baby formula shortage. All of us know someone that this crisis has personally affected. In May alone, reports showed that the out-of-stock rate jumped from 43 percent to 74…

I appreciate the insight and the always thoughtful counsel of my distinguished friend and colleague, the Senator from Pennsylvania. I always enjoy working with him. He is a voice of reason and is a delight to work with. I do feel compelled…

I find this, too, unfortunate. I wish we could adopt all three of these reforms; again, we have a regulatory reform, an import tax reform, and a WIC reform. He has now expressed objections to the regulatory reform and the WIC reform. So…

I return to the floor of the Senate again today to ask that this body take immediate action--action needed--to address our Nation's massive baby formula shortage. For months, American moms and dads have been scouring supermarkets and…

I find it most unfortunate that, as American babies are starving and are literally being admitted to hospitals for dehydration and malnutrition because of a government-created problem, we can't get to a solution here. I am determined to…

I appreciate the thoughts expressed by my friend and distinguished colleague, the Senator from Pennsylvania. I share this concern and this desire to see this worked out and worked out on a bipartisan basis. I think it is important. It is…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Unanimous Consent Request--S. 4261

I very clearly remember Reaganomics. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer.

one of the major outcomes of the Rescue Plan is we saved lives and livelihoods. And if that is not important, I don't know what is.

I rise to support this Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval of the rule recently published by the Department of Homeland Security and the Executive Office for Immigration Review entitled ``Procedures for Credible Fear…

Why should this Congress continue to add more and more money to the defense top line in the meantime if it can't be audited, if there is no accountability?

It boggles my mind. There is no accountability there.

I shudder to think what would have happened had we not passed the American Rescue Plan and it has saved lives and it has saved livelihoods.

It is a real shame and disgrace that you all aren't working together.

It is quite frankly the only cabinet agency not to pass an audit.

I rise again today in support of the bipartisan State Antitrust Enforcement Venue Act. This is an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill. In fact, 99 Senators support passing this bill. Only one--oddly, the lead cosponsor of this bill--has…
