Senate Leaders Thune & Schumer: 5.21.26

Floor remarks by Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on May 21, 2026, as extended debate and a "vote-a-rama" faced the "world's greatest deliberative body." UPDATE: Republicans postponed action on the Secure America Act late Thursday. Every expectation as of publication was that the Senate would debate and vote, followed by the House into the weekend. Congress returns for the summer work period on June 1. Watch the Senate floor live and debate excerpts later on our YouTube channel FedNetTV.
