I have concluded that the Treasury Department's proposal is flawed and fails to sufficiently limit Oleg Deripaska's control and influence of these companies and the Senate should move to block this misguided effort by the Trump Administration and keep these sanctions in place.

This mob was, in good part, President Trumps doing, incited by his words and his lies, this violence, in good part, his responsibility, his everlasting shame. Todays events certainly, certainly, wouldnt have happened without him.

I'll ask consent for the final time that The Senate set a time for a vote on the House bill to provide $ 2,000 checks. I've done it every day this week. This is it -- the last chance for the 116th Congress to pass $ 2,000 checks and to say to regular Americans that help is on the way. Let's have a vote.

At the very least, The Senate deserves the opportunity for an up-or-down vote.

I don't want to hear that we can't afford it.

Theres strong support for these $2,000 emergency checks from every corner of the country.

I'm not going to do any negotiations here in public, as you know, I believe state and local aid is vital to get something done. There are lots of things that are vital to get things done, but I'm not negotiating in public.

If the Republican leader would only back off maximalist demands on corporate immunity, we could get something done.

I urged The Trump administration to be tough on China, but in a much smarter, multilateral way than the The Trump administration administration was, so that American workers aren't left behind and so the US leads in critical industries like semiconductors, quantum computing, and clean energy.

The Republican leader should not waste the Senate’s time on another inadequate, partisan proposal and instead should sit down with Democrats to begin a true bipartisan effort to quickly meet the needs of the country.

I fully expect to see some crocodile tears spilled on the other side of the aisle over President-elect Biden's Cabinet nominees, but it will be very tough to take those crocodile tears seriously.

I just heard Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell say Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's going to put another partisan proposal on the floor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's going to talk to Kevin McCarthy and President Donald Trump and put something on the floor, the obvious fact of the matter is, the biggest impediment to getting an agreement is the Republican leader refusing to negotiate in a bipartisan way.

This should be a moment of clarity for everyone, this is a huge crisis and we need big relief.

I've had a long and serious talk with Dianne Feinstein, that's all I'm going to say about it right now.

Maybe we should give the moderator a mute button, given how President Trump just interrupts atwill, and the bottom line is Donald Trump doesnt follow the rules [and]the commission hasgot to get a lot tougher.

When you flip your vote a few weeks before the election, the American people see right through it. Vulnerable Republican senators are worse off today no matter how Vulnerable Republican senators voted because Vulnerable Republican senators flip-flopped, vulnerable Republican senators can't hide from all Vulnerable Republican senators votes to repeal the ACA and this new vote only shows Vulnerable Republican senators hypocrisy.

Republicans came to us with this resolution, but it ignored Justice Ginsburg's dying wish, what Justice Ginsburg called Justice Ginsburg most' fervent wish' that Justice Ginsburg not be replaced until a new president is installed, so we simply have added it to the exact same text of the resolution the Republicans gave us.

Let me be clear : if Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans move forward with this, then nothing is off the table for next year, nothing is off the table.

Millions are jobless, 170,000 Americans have died from COVID, and Donald Trump says, It is what it is. America, Donald Trump has quit on you.

The event at the country club is just what President Donald does, a big show but it doesn't do anything, and as the American people look at these executive orders they'll see they don't come close to doing the job.

If we pass emergency rental assistance and extend the evictions moratorium, we'd help families and individuals pay the bills, stay in their homes and stabilize the rental market and help owners keep up with their property taxes and mortgages, so, once again, I say to Leader Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to Senate Finance Republicans, work with us to get something done.
