Download official Senate Record PDFReturn to issue contextMr. President, finally, on the CR, Senate Democrats have been crystal clear: We want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown, and pass strong, bipartisan appropriations bills that deliver for the American people.
The CR released yesterday is a responsible pathway to do just that. The bill allows us to continue negotiating a budget that won't leave working families behind. I applaud Senator Murray for her tireless work and her success in preventing Trump's dangerous effort to politicize Federal grants from taking effect, as we fight to block it altogether.
American people. We will continue fighting for a budget that helps Americans get ahead and thwarts Trump's corrupt, costly, and chaotic agenda that is stretching Americans thin.
I yield the floor.
I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
