Under the previous administration, unless you took the vaccine, you could not have these [antibodies]. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Former senators
I would hope the federal government would stay out of the damn vaccine business.
Our H-1B program sucks. Okay? Microsoft is firing people and hiring foreign labor and that’s wrong.
Our education system is abysmal right now. It’s going to heck in a handbasket.
I think AI is gonna be the key. I think it’s gonna be the savior for fraud.
Will you meet with me to talk about ways that this important criminal justice reform, supported by federal law enforcement, could move forward?
A generous – and in my view, for those who had assaulted police officers – unwarranted, unjustified, ahistorical, and a terrible precedent.
You’re in charge of a Department of Justice I don’t recognize: prosecuting the president’s political enemies, firing rank-and-file prosecutors and FBI agents because of the cases they were assigned to, slashing grants for law enforcement…
If you lose your job, the government shouldn’t tell you the only way forward is to go work for somebody else. Some folks have a business idea they’ve been dreaming about for years, and losing a job might be the push to finally chase it.
Every small business began with someone taking a chance on a new idea, and new AI tools will make it easier than ever to turn those ideas into business plans, sales, and storefronts.
I will support every effort to defend our democracy, and I will not stop working to ensure every eligible vote will be counted.
Should President Trump try to interfere in November’s election through illegal, un-American means, I believe he will fail.
Unfortunately, these lies are no longer about one election President Trump lost six years ago.
Tonight’s address from President Trump was a tantrum of sinister innuendo, conspiracy theories, and misdirection.
As former governors, we know firsthand that state and local law enforcement agencies are often asked to do more with fewer resources.
We’re thrilled to announce these federal dollars that will strengthen crisis response, support evidence-based crime prevention, and make communities across Virginia safer.
The safety of all Virginians – including those on the force – is dependent on law enforcement officers, behavioral health professionals, and community partners receiving the tools and training they need to respond effectively to public…
The greatest danger to our elections right now is false narratives seized upon here at home as a pretext to convince Americans their elections cannot be trusted – or worse, to justify unprecedented federal intervention in elections that…
Tonight, Americans heard the president once again repeat claims about our elections that have been investigated for years and repeatedly rejected by the Intelligence Community, the FBI, DHS, DOJ, bipartisan state election officials…
I’m grateful the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Dan Traynor’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. I’ve known Dan for more than 30 years and, without a doubt, his legal experience, character, and judicial…
Judge Traynor has a long, impressive career in the legal profession and is well qualified to serve on the 8th Circuit, following his time as U.S. District Judge for North Dakota. We need judges like him serving in our federal courts. He…
There is this extraordinary opportunity to create incentives for what we want to do.
As the Trump administration attacks clean energy, blocking opportunities for good-paying jobs and raising Americans’ electric bills, we must push back. We need solutions that meet the moment and promote competitive U.S. clean energy…
Homecare services are not luxuries. They are earned benefits that allow disabled and elderly veterans to remain in their homes and live with dignity.
