U.S. Senate

Our democracy is not guaranteed. It is paramount that Republicans and Democrats join together in support of free and fair elections and condemn any attempts by this President to undermine our democracy before it’s too late.

Tonight’s ‘speech’ from the President is a dangerous attempt to resurrect disproven lies to undermine future elections before a single vote is cast.

President Trump and his Republican Party are flailing. They know their MAGA agenda is making life more expensive, communities less safe, and government more corrupt.

These changes raise serious legal concerns. They were made without advance notice to the public, leaving many noncitizens who had been complying with the law unsure of the basis under which these fees could be assessed and unsure of how to…

In assessing these fines, your Departments appear to have abandoned critical safeguards that have long prevented law-abiding immigrants from being improperly targeted with unreasonable penalties.

We need to stop this effort immediately. We need to give the American people the last word in the election in November, not the President and his bizarre theories on who won in 2020.

I sure want to see that evidence. I’m sure the American people do too. The President can’t produce it. It doesn’t exist…

This change will sharply limit law enforcement scrutiny of ICE agents.

These fatalities I’ve talked about could have been avoided. These people could be alive today.

Roughly a year ago, President Trump made good on his ‘MASS DEPORTATION NOW!’ promise.

Survivors deserve more than that type of flip comment. They deserve a DOJ committed to ensuring that it’ll never happen again. They deserve an Attorney General who treats them with respect and compassion.

Mr. Blanche’s behavior surrounding the Epstein investigation is just one of the many reasons he should not lead the Department of Justice. I urge my colleagues to oppose his nomination.

Judges are chosen for their judgment, for character, for maturity, for competence, for independence, and most especially for their temperament. Ms. Westercamp does not meet that standard.

It is a disgrace that Senate Republicans are moving forward on this nomination while Senator McConnell is still in the hospital and so soon after Senator Graham’s passing.

Her offensive, inflammatory, juvenile social media posts demonstrate she lacks the independence, maturity, and temperament to be a judge.

Today, we take a major step towards the next chapter for chip research and manufacturing, with Albany leading the way.

I’ve long fought to show the world that, with the right focus and investment, the next generation of microchips could be developed and made here in America, here in the Capital Region, not in China, not overseas.

With these investments, the world’s most advanced microchips will soon be stamped ‘Made in Upstate NY.’

The arrival of the new High NA EUV technology components at Albany NanoTech marks a new era for New York’s role in driving American semiconductor leadership.

This rule would derail American innovation and competitiveness at the local and national levels, kill good-paying American jobs, drive up costs for families, and halt essential projects in local communities.

The proposed changes solidify federal grant-making as an unprecedented partisan power-grab that eliminates transparency of how taxpayer dollars are spent.

The United States calls on the international community to join forces to demonstrate to the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship that it cannot expect to maintain business as usual with other nations when it is thwarting the basic tenets of our…

The Nicaraguan people have the right to choose their own leaders through democratic elections.
