I think it’s fair to test another side’s red lines in a negotiation.

Don’t ask me to assume failure on the effort that we’re undertaking.

If they don’t take it up, I’ll give you a prediction: The November 2026 elections are going to look a whole lot worse for Republicans than the November 2025 elections did.

Frankly, I viewed the situation last weekend as we had no path, none, to a health care fix until we reopened government.

I don’t tell Ro Khanna or AOC or anybody else who you should pick as your House leader, because I got a full-time job being a senator.

I don’t need to freelance opinions about House leadership.

There was no guarantee that waiting would get us a better result, but there was a guarantee that waiting would impose suffering on more everyday people.

This deal guarantees a vote to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which Republicans weren't willing to do.

I came to the conclusion that they were not going to cave on that red line.

He knows he was getting blamed.

I view it as a very important one. The act that I just read, the International Security Assistance and Arms Control Export Act, is an act that allows a single Senator to file a privileged motion that can be heard on the floor of the Senate…

I rise for the closing comments about S.J. Res. 90. My colleague and friend from Idaho talked about strikes on boats. That is not what this is about. This is about the prospect, openly discussed by the President, for a land invasion of the…

Congress should not cede its power to any president

If the president engages, we will find a deal I think within hours.

I appreciate the chance to rise today to talk about a success story in Virginia and the elections last night, but I am going to take a little bit of a different tact than my colleagues, and I am not going to talk about my pride in my…

This is a classic thing where there's no one, you know, part of government that's got the whole answer to this.

Let's spread the word, because again, getting this done in the statute is one thing.

The issue that I’ve always been focused on ... is a deal, a deal?

I rise to speak, and I thank my colleague, the lead Democratic Senator from the Finance Committee, Ron Wyden, for his passionate advocacy. And I join him in this effort to get colleagues in the Senate to vote for the resolution that will…

And it's a pretext that's just being used to pour more and more tariffs onto Canada.

I don't think you can say that fentanyl is not an emergency vis-a-vis Mexico or China, but it is ridiculous to say that fentanyl is an emergency with respect to Canada.

So the votes are about tariffs, and they're about the economic destruction of tariffs, but they are also really about, how much will we let a president get away with?

But they are also really about how much will we let a president get away with? Do my colleagues have a gag reflex or not?

Tariffs are a tax on American consumers. Tariffs are a tax on American businesses. And they are a tax that is imposed by a single person: Donald J. Trump.

I rise to speak about a vote that we will cast in a few hours with respect to President Trump's imposition of a 50-percent tariff on all goods coming from Brazil. President Trump's tariff regime--global tariffs, Brazilian tariffs, Canadian…
