Legislative Session
The Senate held a series of floor speeches rather than debate on a single bill. Democrats including Senator Schumer and Senator Murphy pushed a resolution to end the U.S. military involvement with Iran, arguing the war has raised gas prices and achieved none of its goals, and Senator Schumer also criticized tariffs on imports. Senator Rosen urged passage of a bipartisan bill providing one billion dollars for security at houses of worship, citing rising antisemitism. Republicans spoke on other subjects: Senator Barrasso said only citizens should vote and urged states to clean up voting rolls, Senator Hoeven supported confirming Judge Daniel Traynor to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Senator Thune spoke about his hometown and his work on taxes and regulation. Senator Schumer also commemorated two Capitol Police officers killed in 1998.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
