I don't think it's a sensible approach.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that working class -- that working class has abandoned them.

the idea that you have somebody like Musk who has massive amounts of federal contracts, campaigning hard, putting huge amounts of money into Trump's campaign – man, if there's ever been a conflict of interest, that's it.

protecting American democracy, ain't nothing more important than that.

The idea that you eliminate all taxes, replace them by a tariff is insane economics.

I strongly disagree with their policies on Gaza.

they understand that Trump is an authoritarian, does not believe in the rule of law, and, for 100 reasons, is unfit to be president of the United States.

Trump is even worse on this issue.

clearly, he has a strong, strong tendency to authoritarianism and to undermining American democracy.

But what I think you're seeing now is many Republicans saying, you know what? I disagree with Kamala on the issues. But we cannot have somebody as vulgar as Donald Trump, as president, somebody who lies all the time, somebody who does not…

This man is unfit to be president of the United States. He is a pathological liar.

I don't care if you're a conservative, progressive or whatever you may be, this is not a guy we should be supporting to be president of the United States.

We're talking about two different things. Liz Cheney and I disagree on every single thing. You name it, we disagreed. The one area where we don't disagree is she happens to believe in American democracy and the rule of law.

With that, Madam President, I would be happy to yield to the ranking member of the committee who has done an excellent job on this issue, Senator Cassidy. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.

I know of no further debate on the resolution. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate? Hearing no further debate, the question is on adoption of the resolution. The resolution (S. Res. 837) was agreed to.

Senator Markey, thank you for your leadership on this. Madam President, as if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 522, S. Res. 837. The PRESIDING OFFICER…

over 4 months ago, Steward Health Care and the more than 30 hospitals it owns in 8 States declared bankruptcy, with some $9 billion in debt. This bankruptcy has caused devastating harm to patients, healthcare workers, and entire…

Senator Markey has played a leadership role in the investigation of this whole process. I would like to yield to Senator Markey.

I ask unanimous consent that the preamble be agreed to and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The…

Every time a deal appears close, Netanyahu moves the goalposts, introducing new demands, and torpedoing the deal. It is clear to me that Netanyahu is prolonging the war in order to cling to power.

I am here for another reason this evening, but I wanted to concur with Senator Welch. Obviously, we need more Federal disaster relief, we need reforms in FEMA, and we certainly need a permanent post office in Montpelier, VT. So I want to…
