If we want small businesses to succeed in the long term, we also need to ensure that entrepreneurs have access to capital, a skilled workforce, and a regulatory environment that supports innovation and growth.

That challenge is one of the reasons I introduced the AI for Main Street Act with Senator Cantwell.

As we look ahead to the next 250 years, they will remain just as essential to America’s success.

Bad actors have been scamming American taxpayers for far too long," said Ernst. "From fake child care centers in Minnesota to incarcerated convicts collecting unemployment checks, fraud has become so pervasive that, if it were a government…

I've always believed that when we invest in our kids, we're investing in the future of this great country. The Trump Accounts do just that by giving eligible children a $1,000 head start.

Trump accounts are an innovative way to provide financial backing for all American newborns, and this legislation makes it easier for West Virginia families to access that opportunity.

We can better safeguard our youth and filter out violent, sexual, and deceptive content that they may encounter. As technology and access to materials continues to evolve, this bill will help Congress stay up to date. That's another…

We need to have these guardrails to protect them and shield them. You know, if the pushback is ‘we can't do it,’ or ‘it's too complicated’ from the online folks, quite honestly, we don't believe you. We don't believe that, and I think our…

We've had a lot of hearings on the addictive nature and how things creep into your feed, and what the schools are doing. So, this is really, probably, I think the most important part is safety.

Congress and the American people deserve clear answers on what happened on March 1 and why the U.S. military was unable to protect or care for our soldiers.

I’m proud to have brought together Democrats and Republicans to address these issues head on, helping more Americans afford the care they need and ensuring that the 340B program puts the patients first.

However, to make sure that Wisconsinites can continue to receive the care they need, we need to bring some real accountability and transparency to the program.

The 340B program was designed to help hospitals and clinics that help the most vulnerable Americans get the medications they need.

Effectively identifying threats to our state’s precious natural resources is critical to keeping our environment strong and healthy for future generations. We need to ensure our tribal communities, who have a deep understanding of these…

This vote demonstrates bipartisan support for robust privacy safeguards in AI chatbots and sends a clear message that Big Tech must prioritize kids over their bottom line.

Today’s unanimous committee passage of my Youth AI Privacy Act is a huge step forward for protecting kids’ privacy and safety in the age of AI.

Today the Senate Commerce Committee voted to advance the Kids Online Safety Act. As I have said in the past, I have concerns about how this legislation could be weaponized against LGBTQ+ young people. These concerns are especially…

What is the United States committing to in this agreement? Well, it's a little hard to decipher because of the terms, which are either mistakenly or deliberately fuzzy, but we at least know that the United States is committing immediately…

Colleagues, there is no good way out of a bad war.

This is the same kind of delusional thinking that sucked the United States into endless wars in the past.

The Iranian regime may not care about that resolution, but we should care, and the Constitution requires that we care.

We may disagree about whether this is a good idea or a bad idea, but we should not disagree that that is what the Constitution requires, and that is what our oath requires.

The Constitution entrusted that solemn responsibility to the Congress, where the elected representatives could openly debate and vote on those questions before any President sent our sons and daughters to fight and die in foreign lands.

We urge this administration to take concrete actions to prevent such mass atrocities in El Obeid, including by ceasing certain U.S. arms sales to the UAE and other external actors that are fueling this war.
