U.S. Senate

I don’t understand how this [Acting] Attorney General can find 48 hours to visit with Ghislane Maxwell, who has been prosecuted for sex trafficking, and can’t find 30 minutes to meet with the survivors of that sexual predator.

While I’m disappointed the funding levels fall short, I will continue pushing my colleagues across the aisle to join us in further strengthening job-creating investments in water infrastructure, especially replacing dangerous lead service…

But our work to deliver clean water for all is not finished. There’s more work to be done, and I’m proud several key priorities that I fought for were included in this year’s legislation that passed the Environment and Public Works…

This bipartisan bill reaffirms the Senate’s commitment to a simple principle: safe, reliable drinking water is not a luxury—it’s a necessity that everyone deserves, no matter their zip code.

Any information from the Intelligence Community should be independent of political consideration. Analytic assessments must not be distorted by or shaped by advocacy of a particular audience or policy viewpoint.

It is time for the people of the civilized world to defend ourselves, to stand united against this encroaching darkness, and fight – fight for what is ours.

The most essential duty of the state – the first responsibility, frankly, of any government of any kind – is the protection of its people, is the protection of its country.

Here in the United States, we have taken the necessary and essential action formally recognizing left-wing violence as a form of political terrorism that is a direct threat to our national security and the survival of our republican form…

One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is its completely pre-textual and disingenuous appeal to civil liberties in an effort to shield its own violence… We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit…

Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas to participate in each other’s attacks, to funnel propaganda and training, materials, and target information through shared encrypted channels — moving…

Today, we face a new wave of this old evil. Here in the United States, the share of left-wing terrorist attacks and plots has risen to levels not seen in decades… Americans have seen what those numbers mean.

Our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left. Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream.

If I see a reconciliation bill come from the House with another failed attempt to confuse this election, I will use every device I have available to slow down the wheels of government until people cop a clue and do the math.

If our party ever becomes — and just makes it official — the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me.

For nearly half a century, the outdated 'duration of status' system has compromised national security and created an environment ripe for immigration fraud.

Trump is laying the groundwork to dismantle our elections, overturn results he does not like, cancel the will of the people, and hold onto power by any means necessary.

All of us, regardless of our political views, must stand together against this dangerous president who is seeking to undermine our Constitution and our basic freedoms.

At a time when millions of Americans are finding it harder to pay for groceries, housing, and healthcare, when the climate crisis is causing record heatwaves and forest fires, Donald Trump felt it appropriate tonight to spew conspiracy…

President Trump and I are on the same page.

It’s always a tragedy when someone is killed.

It’s kind of a mess.

He’s putting the best spin on it he can, but I can read and so can you, and I think his interpretation is not necessarily the only one.

We needed to set the record straight there because I think some people are under the impression that just because he says, ‘Well, we’re not going to pursue the weaponization fund,’ that it couldn’t be revived at a later time.

I think the polling is very clear. The overwhelming majority of Democrats, I think it’s about 75%, believe that we should not be providing military aid to a country which has committed genocide in Gaza.
