how many democrats realize that, i interviewed senator padilla yesterday. he said i have a new pitch. are democrats coalesced under one idea, one vehicle, or are they still at the drawing board? >> i think they are still at the drawing board on a lot of things. one thing about the democratic party that's always been true is they have considered themselves a victim party. when you look at the facts, that party has always been a bigger tent than the republican party. you have more people of color, different people with different abilities. you have different socioeconomic status, lgbtq people. so they're all trying to get their bills and information passed through congress. sometimes it makes it harder when things come up to get everyone on the same page. we've seen that time and time again. because that practice is -- that has continued, that is where we are now. democrats, when it comes to exactly like matt was saying, fighting for democracy, getting a new tool kit, you have newer people coming into congress now who are ready to flip the table and say this

he appointed alex padilla, who had a very fraught history in his tenure as secretary of state. and so the voters of california deprived of choosing their state senator, one of us important offices in the entire country. as a matter of fact, what the governor did was was a questionable legality. i actually got a legal opinion from our legislative council's office, saying that no gavin newsom's appointee cannot be or gavin is that cannot serve the remainder of kamala harris's term before the term expires. there needs to be an elected senator. and so now it's almost like farce. there's a bill that's going through the state legislature and what it's doing is you're going to have to elections for the same office on your ballot next year for the united states senator there's going to be one election for who's going to serve the next six year term. and then there's another election for who's going to sort of like the last month of the existing term. so this is all too typical of what happens in our state capital as we try to shut voters out in every way possible, and so here they solv

senators klobuchar and merkley, manchin and warnock and padilla, kaine, king, and tester and manchin to discuss a compromise voting rights bill. we have made a great deal of progress on that legislation. we had a very good meeting as recently as yesterday afternoon, and we intend to rally around it. so tonight i am filing cloture on a vehicle to allow the senate to take up the compromise voting rights bill. voting rights, voting rights will be the first matter of legislative business when the senate returns to session in september. our democracy demands no less. i yield the floor. mr. schumer: i yield to my colleague from oregon and then my colleague from rhode island. mr. merkley: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: we have the privilege to come to this floor and examine issues important to every american, and what could be more important than the fundamental right to participate in the guidance of our country? to be able to cast a ballot at that ballot box. it's the pulsating heart of our republic. in fact, it's 56 years ago, just a couple of

. >> next, a look at voting rights and the impact of voter suppression with california senator alex padilla who famously oversaw state elections as california's former secretary of state.

and another from senators padilla and moran. let me be clear. these three amendments will constitute only the first tranche of potential amendments. the senate can and should consider more amendments, more afterwards. i would encourage senators from both sides of the aisle to submit potential amendments to the bill, and, as we have already done several times this year, on the anti-asian hate crimes bill, the u.s. innovation and competition act, just to name two examples, the majority will work with the minority to put together packages of amendments for the senate to vote on. at the moment, we need consent from our republican colleagues to start the amendment process, and we await their answer. i hope we can use our time in the senate efficiently. let's start voting on amendments. the longer it takes to finish the bill, the longer we'll be here. i yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the republican leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask consent further pr

senator padilla was here earlier today talking about what's going on in california. here's a report from california from the head of the national forest. its supervisor. we're seeing truly frightening fire behavior. i don't know how to overstate that. we have a lot of veteran firefighters who have served for 20 30 years and have never seen behavior like this especially day after day. and the conditions we're in. so we really are in uncharted territory around some of these extreme, large fires and the behavior we're seeing. that's the report from the front of the wildfires. but we're not just in uncharted territory of wildfires. we're in unchampted territory with -- uncharted territory with respect to flooding. here's what we're predicting in rhode island right now. this is the northern part of my state. everything you see here that's this bright blue color that's land right now. people live there. people have businesses there. people have recreation there. there are things that people do that are part of their lives there and it all disappears under current predictio

number 1, padilla-moran, number 2133, indian health. number two, thune-tester, unanimous 2162, communications workers. further, that at 5:30 today, the senate vote in relation to the amendments in the order listed, with no amendments in order to these amendments prior to a vote in relation to the amendment, with 60 affirmative votes required -- 60 affirmative votes required -- for adoption and two minutes of debate equally divided prior to each vote. the presiding officer: is there an objection? a senator: madam president? mrs. capito: madam president, i don't have an objection. i just wanted to say to the chairman here and others, all of us here, we're ready to get this thing started. this is a great wait for members to say what they like and what they don't like and the amendment process is on its way. thank you. mr. carper: madam president, i would say thank you to the ranking member for those comments. i, too, am ready to get to work. this is a good way to do it, a couple of amendments that i think a lot of us can support. i appreci

the cornyn-padilla amendment would unlock tens of billions of dollars, more for highway, transit and infrastructure. i plan to vote for this at noon because it makes important investments in our nation's future. i'm a west virginia and all west virginians and all americans will benefit from roads, bridges, broadband and other modes of core infrastructure that would be financed through this bill. but i believe that something more foundational is at stake here. we need to demonstrate to the american people that we can work together to pass legislation that benefits our country and i might add legislation that we passed more than a few times in the past. infrastructure is the perfect place to do that. senator carper and i led the environment and public works committee, we passed that out of our committee with unanimous support and we also passed a drinking water bill that passed out of our committee with unanimous support but also out of this body with 89 votes. both of those bills are included in this package in their entirety. bipartisan amendments are also included. i appreciate chai

i've been pleased to find common ground with senator padilla and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help build support for this amendment, and i think actually enhance the work done by the bipartisan negotiating group. this is not something they were able to get done in that negotiating group, they've told me, even though it was a subject of discussion. so now it's a chance for the rest of us, on a bipartisan basis, to weigh in and make this bill better. throughout the process, we've made adjustments so states with unique but no less important infrastructure needs could put this funding towards those uses. we're in the process of making some final tweaks to ensure that we receive broad bipartisan support as well as that of the white house, and i hope we'll have a vote on this amendment on the senate floor soon. our amendment will empower local officials to make the best decisions for their communities and ensure that taxpayers get the most bang for their buck with these relief funds that have already been appropriated and that if we do not authorize their use in the manner

for the amendment senator padilla and i have offered would give leaders in rural and urban areas alike the option to spend the funding on necessary infrastructure projects. this does not touch the negotiation between the white house and the so-called g-20, the bipartisan groups of senators who have come up with the substitute bill which is the base bill that we are now debating. this would be in addition to, and frankly this would be the most efficient way to fund many infrastructure projects in our states and communities because, as we know, once congress appropriates money, frequently it takes years before that money makes its way to the need. well, this could mean widening a highway, making safety improvements on a bridge, expanding broadband access. urban areas could even use these funds for public transit improvement systems. state and local leaders know the needs of their communities best, and they should have the flexibility to spend this money where it's needed most. the key here is flexibility, and here's the other benefit. it doesn't cost another dime. this is money that we'v
