As Attorney General, he will continue to enable this regime’s rampant illegalities, which is why I voted against his confirmation.
From gaslighting Epstein survivors to pursuing political witch hunts, Todd Blanche has helped Donald Trump transform the Department of Justice into a department of revenge, retribution, and corruption.
Todd Blanche’s unyielding loyalty to Donald Trump makes clear that he cares about neither independence nor the rule of law.
The Attorney General of the United States must be independent from the president and committed to upholding the rule of law.
In doing so, we are committed to avoiding another unnecessary shutdown, ensuring hardworking Americans continue receiving their paychecks, and protecting critical programs and services for families in South Carolina and across the country.
Today, the Senate passed a short-term spending bill that puts American workers and families first.
The American people deserve a government that works for them, and that means keeping the government open and operating.
That reality should not prevent us from acting. Failing to confront Russia’s aggression carries costs of its own—for our national security, global stability, and our economy—and those costs will only grow if we allow that aggression to…
Imposing stronger sanctions on Russia will ensure America remains strong on the world stage and will help bring an end to Putin’s unjust war against Ukraine.
We therefore request that the FAR Council provide a timeline by which the Preventing Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Federal Acquisition Act will be implemented.
I am also seeking information related to ICE’s harmful, nontransparent operation of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (“ISAP”)—an alternative to detention program—in the Commonwealth.

If you pay Donald Trump $100,000, he will give you advance notice of America's foreign policy decisions.
I think we ought to make a commitment in this Farm Bill to rural hospitals.
It is families who will suffer, especially the sickest Americans, like those with mental health and substance use disorders, cancer, and diabetes, who most urgently need the health care Medicaid provides.

This bill will strengthen education, preparedness, and response efforts for these diseases, ensuring that Americans can continue to safely enjoy the outdoors.
This bill will help us track and treat West Nile Virus in our communities.
