we are soon to be voting on the situation with the rail industry, which is an enormously important issue, not only for the 125,000 rail workers involved but for the entire country, because rail plays an enormous role in transporting very…

on behalf of Vermonters, today I was proud to vote for the final passage of the Respect for Marriage Act. Today, we became a slightly more perfect union by recognizing the sanctity of marriage between two individuals, regardless of gender…

today marks the 1-year anniversary of the election of Xiomara Castro Sarmiento, the first woman to hold the office of President of Honduras. She succeeded Juan Orlando Hernandez who had discredited the office of the Presidency by colluding…

There is no denying that the crisis at our southern border was caused by President Biden and his administration's open-border policies. Since President Biden took office, more than 3.8 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended at…

a few minutes ago, before I opened the Senate, I had the privilege of walking on the floor with Senator-elect Peter Welch of Vermont. I am going to speak more about our new Senator, who will be taking this seat very shortly, within the…
