I want to address the vote the Senate took yesterday on the point of order raised by the junior Senator from Kentucky, i regret to say: for 45 Republican Senators to vote for a spurious constitutional objection to the coming impeachment trial was deeply, deeply, irresponsible.

Chuck Schumer

Let there be no doubt, these disasters are magnified precisely because of climate change, i can not fathom the level of cognitive dissonance required to schedule these votes one right after the other.

Plain and simple, the Democratic party supports Israel and we will continue to do so and we will maintain that bipartisan relationship through thick and thin. Israel depends on it.

It is no surprise that the president holds the rule of law and our Constitution in minimal regard. There is no emergency ; Congress has refused to fund his wall multiple times ; Mexico wont pay for it ; and a bipartisan majority in both chambers just voted to terminate his fake emergency.

Today's votes cap a week of something the American people haven't seen enough of in the last two years, my hope is that this past week isn't an aberration, but a turning point.

Democrats and Republicans both know the sad truth: The president did not declare an emergency because there is one, he declared an emergency because he lost in Congress and wants to get around it.

They cannot even bring themselves to say that climate change is real.

I think without question Chad Readler would not get on the bench, the 60-vote threshold brought parties together and picked more judges to be moderate.

This issue transcends partisan politics, and I urge all senators -- Democrats and Republicans -- to support this resolution to terminate the president's emergency declaration when it comes up for a vote in the Senate, identical companion legislation to the House resolution will soon be introduced in the Senate.

When the president stays out of the negotiations, we almost always succeed.

I'm very excited she has agreed to be the responder.

The debt ceiling. No more hostages! that's not a good idea. We ought to be negotiating to get an agreement.

Stacey Abrams offers a welcome, stark contrast to President( Donald) Trump's politics of division and lack of leadership as American families are still feeling the impacts of Stacey Abrams self-imposed shutdown, stacey Abrams is a present and future leader in this country. She is a dynamic, moral leader ; she delivered results on the issues that matter most to Americans ; and she tirelessly pursues fairness and justice for everyone in her state.

We don't agree on some of the specifics of border security. Democrats are firmly against the wall, but we agree on many things such as the need for drug inspection technology, humanitarian aide, strengthening security at our ports of entry. And that bodes well for finding an eventual agreement.

The President has agreed to our request to open the government and then debate border security.

We in Congress will roll up our sleeves and try to find some agreement on border security.

Forty-two Republican senators chose today to stand with Vladimir Putin, i'm extremely disappointed that many of my Republican colleagues are too afraid of breaking with President Trump to stand up to a thug.

I will say this, Democrats in the House and Senate are united, we have three words for President Trump, Mitch McConnell and Leader McCarthy : Open the government. We are all united and we're finding Republicans beginning to join us.

This is not the moment to give up a source of leverage over the Russian government.

At the time when these things are coming forward, to undo the sanctions on Rusal? Very suspect, very suspect.

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.
