I call up my amendment No. 2126 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The assistant bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from Vermont [Mr. Sanders] proposes an amendment numbered 2126 to…

this amendment is simple and straightforward. Millions of Americans today are working for starvation wages. What this amendment does is raise the Federal minimum wage from an embarrassingly low $7.25 an hour to a living wage of $17 an hour…

Now is the time to address the crises facing working Americans. I ask for a ``yes'' vote. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Louisiana.

I thank Senator Van Hollen for his extraordinary efforts today and for over a long period of time standing up for justice and morality in the Middle East. With that, I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho.

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate debate the motions concurrently with all other provisions from yesterday's order remaining in effect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Campaign Finance

Trump is deploying them in a self-destructive manner.

let me begin by telling the American people something that they already know, and that is, as a result of the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, we now have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires to buy…

Does that sound like a democracy to you?

That is a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, the Foreign Assistance Act, and basic human decency. It is a war crime. You don’t starve children.

All of this is unconscionable. We are talking about a mass atrocity.
