Former senators
Ending the obeisance to Mr. Putin may be table stakes for the end-of-year legislation. The president should plan accordingly.
Passing this agenda will require working with Republicans who know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.
Mr. Trump has high hopes for a lame-duck legislative agenda, including the one-time defense spending I’ve urged the administration instead to build into full-year appropriations.
While ‘Press 3’ is back online, I’ll continue fighting to protect and strengthen 988 to make sure that when Americans are in crisis, the help they need and deserve is available.
For 14 months, ‘Press 3’ was shuttered because President Trump and RFK, Jr. made a choice to put politics over people and cut off life-saving services for young Americans.
He has sold out rural America with his policies.
This time, with [Attorney General Todd] Blanche, they are all in on this disgraceful campaign.
They don't have standing to bring this kind of a suit. It's not the federal government's business to run Alaskan elections. It's Alaska's business to do that.
Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers and democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.
It shows they know they’re going to lose. We will fight tooth and nail. And we will win.
Look, I'm the doctor always weighing the benefits and risks of everything. And I'm telling you, we don't win this election without Trump voters getting out and voting.
Look, it's the price of gas, and I do feel people's pain.
I think that, you know, I'm not a political expert, I'm a physician, but if we lose Kansas, I don't see how we keep control of the Senate.
What is so radical about wanting everybody to have health care?
President Trump promised the American people a secure border, and the data proves he delivered.
If that's the interim authorities that try to do harm to this process or stop complying, then we're gonna have a problem. But I don't expect that. I really, really don't.
You've got to change the infrastructure of the elections, not in 10 years, not in five years, not in two years. It needs to happen quickly under the timelines that we've established.
We spoke to the interim authorities and just said, 'Look, our expectation is that she's a Venezuelan. She belongs in her country. That's the country she's from. She should be allowed to return, and she should be allowed to return…
Of course we have. We've just got to start talking about it.
We do things differently, which frustrates people, the president, for example, who wants to get his agenda done quickly. That's not the nature of the beast in the Senate.
Life is supposed to be hard. I'm willing to do things the hard way.
If Republicans can sell the long-term dividends of their agenda and draw a contrast with Democrats, we have a really good chance at keeping the majority.
