The integration mandate has transformed the lives of countless Americans with disabilities by expanding access to community living, employment, education, and self-determination.
We cannot return to a time when people with disabilities were denied basic civil rights, ripped away from their families, and institutionalized against their will.
We have the bipartisan starting point, the PROMISE Act—I want to see, I hope, a bipartisan vote to set up that procedure when we return in September [or] October of this year so that we get something done and give peace of mind to the…
If they [the Republican majority] believe Social Security is important enough to make it a priority, let’s put it on the legislative agenda when we return this year.
The longer Congress waits to act on Social Security, the more expensive it will be [and] the more difficult the policy choices will be.
This is unacceptable, and disregards the overwhelming opposition from locals to the creation of an immigration detention facility in Newburgh.
There should be no ICE mass detention center in Orange County, not in Newburgh, not in Chester, not anywhere.
I’m proud to champion efforts that support our tremendous aviation workforce and ensure that our air traffic controllers and pilots are provided with modern and accessible mental health resources.
No pilot or air traffic controller should be pushed out of their job because they unknowingly took a barred medication, especially as staffing shortages continue to persist at airports across the country, endangering our skies.

This imbalance in representation would be unprecedented and would undermine public confidence in the board’s ability to serve the public interest above any partisan political aims.
That is why Congress must vote NO on the defense spending bill, which brings the US and Israeli militaries even closer together.
If anything, being targeted by Trump and Hegseth appears more invigorating than ominous to Kelly.
When you look at Desert Storm, you look at all the combat missions flown, and the number of people killed—flying on the space shuttle is probably 10 times more dangerous.
They’re trying to send a message to other retired veterans, and really to all of us, if you say something that the president, or this administration, does not like, they’re going to come after you.
Climate hushers who ignore this righteous fight should take note,
“Both would be good, but that passing a law would be more difficult,” Cornyn said.
“The agreement says it can’t be changed, but except by, you know, the parties, so that would have to be in writing,” Cornyn said.
