The First Amendment is the beating heart of our democracy. It protects the right of Americans to speak freely, to criticize their leaders, and to entertain and inform without fear of government reprisal. The Framers did not write an exception for late- night comedians or for political satire.
Edward J. MarkeyD-MA, Senate, September 18, 2025
Well, that didn't last long. The cuts to Medicare just had to be well hidden, and that is what this bill does.
Sheldon WhitehouseD-RI, Senate, September 18, 2025
I don't normally come to the floor to give somewhat lengthy remarks, but today I am doing so because of a deep and, frankly, rising concern for the future of our intelligence community and, in turn, the security of the United States.
Mark R. WarnerD-VA, Senate, September 18, 2025

In the Senate, however, the rules are different--historically different. In order to pass a continuing resolution, it will take a 60- vote majority to pass. That means that at a time when there are 53 Members of the Republican caucus and 47 Members of the Democratic caucus, it will require bipartisan support.
