U.S. Senate

Mr. Clayton couldn’t bring himself to do that in his own confirmation hearing, when he wouldn’t give a straight answer about who won the 2020 election.

The Director of National Intelligence has one job above all others: to tell the American people, the president, and Congress the truth, even when it’s inconvenient.

I voted against Mr. Clayton's nomination to serve as Director of National Intelligence because he hasn’t shown the independence or care this job demands.

Jay Clayton is a highly qualified nominee with a deep experience combatting a wide range of national security threats. As U.S. attorney, Mr. Clayton has worked hand in glove with our intelligence agencies and counterterrorism personnel to…

One of the most rewarding parts of my work in the Senate is nominating young South Dakotans to attend our military service academies.

As an emerging national leader in quantum innovation, Connecticut deserves support in this bill to promote new technology and prepare localized training.

Quantum technologies are critical to the future of warfighting at home and abroad.

When anyone tries to skirt regulations on the road, it can cost people’s lives. The SAFE Act works with our truckers and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to take on unsafe operators so that our roads are safer for everyone…

In recent years, we’ve seen chameleon carriers become a major issue on Indiana’s roads, putting Hoosiers at risk and punishing law-abiding truckers.

That’s why the squeals he will hear today are going to be his own because I am giving my July 2026 Squeal Award to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Fauci was absolutely correct that people needed the truth during the pandemic, but they didn’t get it from him.

Unlike the pardon he received from President Biden’s autopen that absolves him from any crimes he may have committed, this Squeal Award recognizes Dr. Fauci for his true legacy of funding dangerous research with taxpayer dollars and…

Fauci’s method is to deceive the public, discredit those who ask questions, destroy evidence, hide the truth, become a celebrity, pose for magazine photographers, and accept a pardon to avoid accountability.

The traditional scientific method involves asking a question, forming a hypothesis, then conducting experiments to find an answer to your question. That is how you follow the science, folks.

OMB’s proposal unlawfully seeks to substitute Congress’s role in directing federal spending with the President’s preferred priorities.

This proposed rule would fundamentally undermine that, and direct political appointees to substitute their own independent opinions over those of panels of experts.

This boundless power to terminate federal funding creates whiplash and erodes grant recipients’ trust in the grant agreements they sign.

Investing in the Mighty Mississippi is an investment in our economy, the great outdoors and the next generation of Wisconsinites.

As communities along the river face more frequent flooding and worsening pollution, we must confront these challenges head on while also making the long-term investments needed to prepare for those ahead.

The Mississippi River is essential to Wisconsin’s economy and way of life – from moving Made in Wisconsin products to market, to supporting fishing, boating, and other outdoor recreation, to providing fresh drinking water for millions of…

It is unacceptable for the Department to disregard years of efforts to improve Wisconsin’s drinking water and further imperil the safety of my constituents without so much as an explanation.

I have worked for years to hold the Department accountable on PFAS through added federal funding for military PFAS cleanup and for replacing PFAS-based firefighting foam.

This commonsense legislation is a meaningful step toward strengthening protections for the taxpayer.

Hardworking Americans shouldn’t have to worry about bad actors stealing their identity and filing fraudulent tax returns in their name.
