There shouldn`t be a Democrat or a Republican that wouldn`t or couldn`t or shouldn`t vote for something that truly just only deals with voting and the rights of voters.

Let`s get back to the basic rights of voting, protecting voting rights.

There`s no red lines.

I want to see the pay for. I want to make sure that whatever we do is going to be globally competitive.

The bottom line is we should be working together on basically legislation that protects people`s right to vote.

There shouldn`t be a Democrat or a Republican, that wouldn`t or couldn`t or shouldn`t vote for something that truly just only deals with voting, and the rights of voters.

I have been very clear that I want to see the pay-fors to make sure that whatever we do is going to be globally competitive.

I was proud to work with my colleagues here in Congress to provide Americans with unprecedented relief in the form of unemployment insurance benefit programs.

We must act to improve mail delivery.

Each year, authorities seize enough fentanyl to kill every American four times over.

The on-time delivery of mail continues to be a crucial issue for our fellow Americans.

I've also worked to provide the West Virginia regional FBI office with the necessary funding to support agents dedicated to ending this pandemic.

Rather than learn from these mistakes, DeJoy doubled down in March, announcing a 10-year reorganization that would reduce the hours of post offices and close others.

During my time in the Senate, I've fought to ensure our mail is delivered on time.

If they think in reconciliation I’m going to throw caution to the wind and go to $5 trillion or $6 trillion when we can only afford $1 trillion or $1.5 trillion or maybe $2 trillion and what we can pay for, then I can’t be there.

Let`s make sure it goes through the process, make sure it goes through the committees, comes back to the floor, and work it. If no Republicans -- which I don`t think we will have on the second one, I`m not assuming that, I heard them speak…

There’s a need in both. There’s social adjustments we need to make to help working families survive and prosper and maybe attain that American dream. It should never be an American dream that has died and gone away.

I give Chuck Schumer who’s controlling the calendar all the credit for allowing it to go back in the committees, being worked the way it’s supposed to, come to the floor with amendments and Republicans get a chance to put amendments on the…

The filibuster as a tool for compromise. One can debate when that was true. It`s certainly not true now. So, the residual language there is that, no, it`s not a moderating device. It`s not a compromising device. It`s a Mitch McConnell…

He’s on board with doing, yes, this infrastructure bill with Republicans that he worked on so hard. But also the larger potentially Democrat only bill for all the other stuff that Democrats want to do through reconciliation.

We have a package that meets the needs of the 21st century and I think it`s a tremendous opportunity for us to show the rest of the world we can still get big things done in a bipartisan way.

It`s a tremendous opportunity for us to show the rest of the world that we can still get big things done in a bipartisan way.

Partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy.

As West Virginia has been ravaged by the opioid epidemic, I've supported the special agents in charge of the regional FBI office in their efforts to catch the largest distributors and try and stem the flow of drugs into the State.

Unfortunately, my Republican colleagues refuse to allow debate on this legislation despite the reasonable changes made to focus the bill on the core issues facing our democracy.
