I am still very deeply concerned about the Administration's cruel and chaotic policies that have now caused thousands of children to be separated from their parents with no apparent plan for reunification.

I want to thank my colleague from Hawaii for sharing her personal experience of how that felt because that is so important for us to hear. I thank the Senator from Oregon and all the Senators who are out here tonight to speak on this. I…

That is exactly right.

I am really concerned the Administration is cutting back on oversight.

How many times has the Trump administration delayed the rule?

PhRMA, which represents big drug companies, sued the Government and demanded these drugs be carved out of the 340B Program even if they were not being used to actually treat a rare disease.

This is a deliberate choice being made by President Trump and this Administration, and it needs to stop.

What President Trump is doing at the southern border right now with the support of so many others in this Administration, including at HHS, is appalling: separating children from their parents, tearing babies away from breastfeeding moms…

Integrity, transparency, accountability are critical to any program.

President Trump can end this right now, on his own, and he should not point fingers and he should not wait any longer.

I join Senator Cassidy and many of our colleagues in recognizing one of Washington State's favorite sons-- Spokane's own Steve Gleason. I have to say, as a fellow Cougar, sponsoring this legislation to recognize Steve's legacy of…

I wish to thank my colleague from Virginia for his personal, compelling reason why what the administration is doing is so wrong. That could happen to anyone, and does happen to everyone, and I so appreciate that. I thank my colleague from…

This administration, I believe, is tearing families apart at the border unnecessarily.

President Trump abandoned his campaign promise to negotiate lower prices through Medicare.

Since the inception of Medicare Part D, Democrats and some Republicans have supported using the government's buying power to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors.

As a candidate, President Trump talked a big game on lowering drug prices. But after 500 days, the only healthcare price he has dropped is his former secretary.

I am concerned that that doesn't fulfill the promise of how people heard it and how I expect it would have a much bigger impact.

I was actually pleasantly surprised when President Trump campaigned on allowing negotiations.

Millions of Americans are counting on their ability to buy insurance when they have a preexisting condition.

I hope that you'll push Senator McConnell to bring those up, as they've already been introduced.

I hope the Administration is serious about listening to our ideas and incorporating them.

We need a really serious plan. It has to bring drug prices lower that our patients and families actually see.

I know you agree that competition between brand drugs and generics or biosimilars is one way to bring prices down.

We yield back our time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time is yielded back. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Marcus nomination?

I come to the floor today to speak on the nomination of Kenneth Marcus to lead the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, a nomination we are going to vote on in just a few minutes. First of all, I want to say that I am pleased…
