What Kirsten E. Gillibrand said, and what was done

“Mr. President, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1546(a) and in accordance with section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act, I move to discharge the Committee on Foreign Relations from further consideration of S.J.”

“Mr. President, I rise in support of my legislation to end President Trump's unauthorized, illegal war with Iran. This war will go down in history as one of the greatest strategic failures in modern American history.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to address the merits of this bill, per my colleague's request. I rise to speak out against President Trump's un-American efforts to keep millions of eligible voters from the ballot box.”

“Mr. President, during World War II, Fort Ontario was the only U.S. refugee shelter for people fleeing the Holocaust. Let me say it again. Fort Ontario was the only U.S. refugee shelter for people fleeing the Holocaust.”

“Mr. President, I rise to support our legislation, which I just spoke on, about Fort Ontario. I want to thank Senator Hawley for his leadership and making sure we had a bipartisan effort to get this done.”

“Madam President, I rise in support of amendment No. 3759, the Comprehensive Operations for Unmanned-System Neutralization and Threat Elimination Response Act, or the COUNTER Act. This is a commonsense amendment to mitigate threats to military facilities from unmanned aircraft systems.”

“Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Tennessee for yielding and thank both him and the Senator from New Jersey for their leadership on these issues. I rise today to reiterate my colleagues' clarification that the express congressional intent of section 9 of the GENIUS Act, as amended, is to ensure that FinCen shall issue guidance and notice and comment rulemaking.”

“Mr. President, I rise in support of the Hagerty- Gillibrand substitute amendment to the GENIUS Act, legislation to regulate the cryptocurrency assets known as stablecoins. Over the past several years, top U.S. financial regulators--both Democrats and Republican administrations--have repeatedly called on Congress to do their job: Regulate this new industry; do your work; do the oversight; do the accountability; write legislation; and pass a law.”

“Senator Booker, I have been listening to this debate all night, and I have got to say, you are on fire. And you are on fire because the American people are very, very angry about what is happening.”

“Seven thousand staff, even though the Social Security Administration staffing is already at a 50-year low. So they are lying when they are saying this is about efficiency.”

“Thank you, Senator Booker. So the other thing that stressed out my constituents that I talked about this weekend is air safety. They are very, very stressed out about these cuts to the FAA.”

“So because you are going into the national security section, I want to give you a couple of questions to pepper your answers because I sit on the Special Committee on Intelligence in the Senate.”

“OK. So this is the question. They have cut all of the personnel--or the main personnel--at an organization called CISA that we are supposed to be doing election security with.”

“Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to honor the late Dr. Hazel Dukes, who died earlier this month. Hazel was not just my mentor and longtime friend, she was an extraordinary advocate for members of the African-American community across New York State.”

“Mr. President, I want to tell you about an extraordinary woman, my senior adviser Geri Shapiro. Geri is in the final stages of a long battle with cancer, and so I wanted to express my deepest gratitude and thanks for her service to my office and to all of New York State.”

“Thank you so much, Senator Warren, for your unbelievable tenacity and clear-eyed and thoughtful remarks. I yield the balance of my postcloture debate time on the Vought nomination to Senator Schumer.”
