U.S. Senate

Ukraine still has not received the $400 million that we appropriated in the last year’s appropriations bill.

The war in Ukraine has turned a corner, with the real possibility for the first time in over four years that Russia will be finally forced to negotiate.

Make no mistake, Iran is a troubling actor that has for decades threatened America and allied interests.

Now the White House is coming to Congress with an $88 billion supplemental request…

I asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to give us the latest accounting of the financial cost of this war.

I welcome the Chinese government’s release of Pastor Jin and call on them to release the remaining eight members of his church as well as the following mentioned in our Senate resolution: Dr. Gulshan Abbas, Jimmy Lai, Gao Quanfu and his…

In our meeting, Pastor Jin told me that the prison conditions were very stark—while in jail in China, he was cut off from any communication with his family, and his lawyers were harassed and threatened as well.

70 million Americans will pay a price that is just too heavy to pay.

If they don’t pay for insurance, if they don’t have serious regulation, the American taxpayers should not bail them out.

We don’t need our fingerprints at this crime scene.

We’re living in the most corrupt presidency in the history of the United States.

I fought to secure this approval and bring home the federal resources our farmers and growers urgently needed following the loss of their crops in the devastating April frost.

I urge New York House Republicans to come back to the table and write a Farm Bill that actually meets the moment: supporting farmers, strengthening rural America, protecting families, and ensuring Americans have enough to eat.

That’s why I will NOT support a Farm Bill that does not provide more time for states and counties to prepare to shoulder the cost of SNAP. A Republican Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is not a serious proposal.

85,000 New York families, kids, and seniors across the Southern Tier depend on SNAP to put food on the table. But last year, Republicans passed the largest unkind cut to SNAP in history, forcing Southern Tier counties and their taxpayers…

The CARE for Mental Health Professionals Act adapts care with the times, and reduces unnecessary red tape that makes it harder for qualified providers to deliver telehealth services across state lines, ensuring more Maine people can access…

The expansion of telehealth has been a game changer, especially for rural Maine communities, older adults, and those who might otherwise forgo care due to their inability to pay for or drive to their appointments.

It would undermine the goal of awarding funds based on scientific merit and value, rather than political ideology.

If the result is only achieved by nuking the legislative filibuster, we don’t have the votes to do that and so that’s not a — that’s just not a realistic option

Yeah, that’s not going to happen

This is a very, very big mistake.

They just don’t want to do it.

If there’s not enough votes to confirm him, then Senator Grassley might decide to postpone it. But I don’t think that’s the No. 1 goal right now.

But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red.
