A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else.

Former senators
Right now, the Senate prohibits us from integrating outside systems into the Senate's, but I'm hoping that, soon in fact, that they get that done next year.
I don’t want to take away the choice of folks who’ve already made a choice under this act.
I think what it says is that the marketing for it has done a pretty good job of trying to fashion this as a parent’s choice when it is really not a parent’s choice, it is a private school choice.
The CHOOSE Act is pretty simple, and I can’t believe anybody would be against it.
It’s going to take a new brand of leadership, or an old brand reestablished.
I say there’s no saints in politics; they’re only shades of sinners.
I’m hoping that parallel continues today, starting with the election in November.
Vietnam was so appalling because you saw these innocent people being maimed, attacked.
I therefore respectfully request that the Senate Judiciary Committee launch an investigation into the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign…
Senate Democrats will expand coverage and lower costs for millions of Americans when we take back the majority.
As health care costs skyrocket and millions of Americans go uninsured, what is JD Vance and Donald Trump’s solution? Kick hundreds of thousands more people off their health insurance.
If we have the supply in this country and we’re exporting it right now, that that might be one way of getting at it.
The export ban honestly makes probably more sense to me.
I encourage President Trump to put a temporary embargo on diesel exports through executive actions. It will help family farmers who feed and fuel the world.
Republicans nearly wore out the subpoena machine investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign relationships. We should not unplug it now.
For years, serious questions have been raised about members of presidential families using their names and proximity to the President to advance private business interests.
Will we get the Democrats to vote for this before we leave here in a couple weeks? Or, are they going to play politics and continue to make sure that Republicans don’t get any type of a win?
That five years of certainty is going to allow that Kansas farmer to plant a wheat crop this fall, despite maybe having had bad drought and lost their corn crop for the most part.
For over a month, Senate Democrats blocked this bill, and then every single one of them voted against it — turning their backs on farmers, ranchers and rural families to score political points.
We’re gonna force a vote to end this illegal war every week until we succeed
“I think somehow we have to get back to the idea that we can have opponents who aren’t enemies,” he added.
