As is the case with many of President Trump’s judicial nominees in his second term, his pick to fill a vacancy on [CIT], Kara Westercamp, was tapped because of her loyalty to the man who nominated her, instead of her loyalty to the law.

[Republicans] owe it to him to tell his story under oath and [Republicans] refused to [bring him before the Committee]. The conclusion I draw is that they are afraid of what he has to say… would you comment on it?

There’s going to be history written about this Administration and I think it will be extraordinary with its corruption.

Everything we heard from Todd Blanche at his hearing last week—and in his responses to written questions—indicates that, if confirmed as Attorney General, Blanche will continue to serve the interest of Donald Trump, not the American people.

Now we have a President who claims ‘absolute right to do what I want to with the Justice Department’ and is seeking ‘retribution’ against ‘the enemy within.’

I want to take a moment to respond to [Committee Republicans’] claim at Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing that Democrats never criticized the Biden Justice Department’s actions. This is simply and provably false.

To call this agreement that was signed by Blanche when it came to the Trump family ‘commonplace’—that was the word the Chairman used. ‘Commonplace’? ‘Commonplace’ for the federal government to say to any individual that we will… discharge…

Wouldn’t it be interesting if we could just call him before this Committee, put him under oath, demand the answers? He has offered to come before this Committee now for six months.

Every meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee has a necessary starting point and today was no exception. Before we can talk about anything else, we have to talk about Jack Smith. Jack Smith is the political punching bag of the Senate…

Committee passage of the Aviation Medication Transparency Act marks an important step toward providing pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation professionals with greater clarity and transparency regarding FAA-approved…

No one chooses infertility," said Booker.

Republicans are not pro-family and they won’t lift a finger to help families get IVF—the Texas Republican Party just recently made banning IVF a part of their official party platform," said Murray.

For millions of American families, IVF isn’t politics—it’s hope," said Schumer.

Almost two years after promising free IVF for all Americans if he were elected, Donald Trump has still failed to deliver," said Duckworth.

For 150 years, the Chicago Cubs have been the heart of our great city. For 150 years, they have brought millions of fans together from across the world to all chant ‘Go, Cubs, Go!’

From the numbing heartbreak of a record-long championship drought to the indescribable joy we all felt when the curse was broken on a rainy night in Cleveland, fans have cheered and cried for the Chicago Cubs for more than 150 seasons.

Today, I am announcing a new global visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The problem with the MOU is they agreed to it and then didn’t keep it, right?

The good news is the United States is now one of the world’s largest energy suppliers.

The U.S. policy towards Taiwan was reiterated during our visit to Beijing and remains unchanged.
