U.S. Senate

Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution makes it clear that the oversight and administration of elections is left to the states; recent remarks and proposals from the White House seem to threaten the firewall our founders made a priority…

Upon reflection, the pursuit of those short-term wins clouded the bigger picture and lasting impact of a Senate without the filibuster.

I thought ending the filibuster was necessary to deliver results for working families.

There are 93,000 agents at the IRS. I think we should put a padlock on that building and put every one of them down on our southern border.

Halfway through my first term, I now recognize how important the filibuster is and the state our country would be in without it.

When I first attended forty-two years ago, Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican,” McConnell said. “But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red. So I hate that I’ll…

Trump and Bibi [Netanyahu] are like Roosevelt and Churchill. They’re the right two guys to confront this evil.

I almost cried. I mean, like, how long have we been pushing this? It’s here. I talked with Trump this morning. Holy Jack. It’s here. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. He loves blowing stuff up.

As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.

There’s no place I’d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton.

I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders. Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to make it to Fancy Farm, Kentucky…

Those are natural-caused fires, you know, we're getting wildfires all over the world.

I don't think the Canadians want those fires any more than we do.

Nobody can control the direction of the wind.

I think the president’s being ridiculous.
