So bad enough that they are here arguing for excess benefits for themselves compared to regular Americans; worse, they are using dark money corruption to get there. So how is that patriotic?

One of the ways in which I try to discuss what is going on in this country--when people are horrified, anxious, astonished, whatever--is to describe it as the rule of the looters and the polluters. The looters are the creepy billionaires…

I am here for the 35th time to call attention to the rightwing scheme to capture our courts and justice system, now out to target and persecute Trump political enemies and do Trump political favors. We have heard a lot about weaponization…

First, thank you for continuing to highlight the harm that is being done by the Trump administration and that it is inflicting on working Americans: flouting the law, withholding Federal funds, illegally shuttering Federal Agencies…

President Trump and the Secretary of HHS, Secretary Kennedy, are, as I indicated and made you aware, firing a host of people today, but the critical staff functions will be undercut--for example, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance…

I thank Chairman Wyden. This is a really important investigation, and it bears very exactly on the Republican tax scam that is being cooked up right now here in this Congress, because one of the keys to the Republican tax scam that is…

I rise to join my colleague Senator Whitehouse, the ranking member on the Environment and Public Works Committee and the foremost voice for sensible climate policies, someone who for years has warned us of the approaching dangers of…

today I am introducing the Rhode Island Fishermen's Fairness Act along with my colleague Senator Whitehouse. I am also pleased that my colleagues Representative Magaziner and Representative Amo will be introducing a companion measure in…

I thank my colleagues for their colloquy. I see the Senator from South Carolina, whose time we are intruding on, has come to the floor. We yield to Senator Scott. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina. H.J. Res. 25

Well, you referenced the value to the fossil fuel industry of being able to run to Congress or run to the White House and throw money around and, as a result of that expenditure on politicians, earn the right to pollute for free and get…

I am delighted to be joined by all of you. I would make an observation of my own. I think Senator Blumenthal wants to join in. The observation I want to make is our three States are known for great universities--Yale University in New…

earlier this month, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced he would reconsider over 30 rules and policies that protect human health and the environment, calling it ``the greatest day of deregulation our nation…

And we welcome our colleague from Connecticut to join the festivities here on the Senate floor. All three States are downwind States from the pollution of the Midwest, of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio. There is nothing we can do about…

I would not be surprised, actually, if the political lobbying and dark money influence operation of the fossil fuel industry was not actually its most lucrative line of business because for the $1 billion or $6 billion or $7 billion spent…

Well, it means that the prevailing winds that blow over West Virginia, that blow over Pennsylvania, that blow over Ohio, blow over their smoke stacks that have been deliberately built high into the air so that the pollution coming out of…

I thank Mr. Deluzio for bringing us together and helping us have an important conversation about how we restore the mantle of fighting for working people. I was born and raised in the most patriotic town in the country, Bristol, Rhode…

I believe that Americans are ready and willing to answer the call to serve and come together to meet the challenges that we face at the local, national, and international level. We just need to create the conditions to mobilize them. That…

The question has to be posed to Secretary Hegseth whether he declassified the information and at what point he did declassify? Do you agree?
