I’ve come to the Senate floor tonight to ring the alarm bells. We’re in the most perilous moment, the biggest threat to our republic since the Civil War. President Trump is shredding our Constitution.

I think he’s fundamentally flawed — but in a populist era, anything’s possible.

We have a very, very tough task ahead of us, which is to disarm Hamas, but rebuild Gaza to make life better for the people in Gaza, but also to ensure that Hamas is no longer a threat to our friends in Israel.

If the IRS thinks someone made an honest mistake filing their taxes, the IRS should be clear about how to correct it.

My heart breaks for Darren and Cindy Bailey as they face such an unimaginable loss. No parent should ever have to bury their own child.

Passing it by unanimous consent is not the way to get it done.

We are forcing about 2.8 million federal workers to work. Military, law enforcement, people who write Social Security checks, air traffic controllers, keeping our skies safe.

We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!

We think that Janet Mills is the best candidate to retire Susan Collins.

We have an opportunity to do something really historic.

Ron Johnson’s bill would essentially weaponize the government shutdown to allow President Trump to decide who works and gets paid and who doesn’t work and doesn’t get paid.

This is why we have primaries, so we can have a contest of different people’s views.

We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25 percent of the time suspicion is wrong. We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either.

The authoritarian takeover is not down the street. It is not around the corner. We are in the middle of it, right now.

We should not be punishing federal employees for something they had nothing to do with. They’re not responsible. They’re innocent bystanders.

requiring all Department of Defense communications with Congress to be controlled by Secretary Hegseth's office raises serious questions about transparency and the timely flow of information that lawmakers need to conduct oversight.

I strongly encourage the Trump administration to focus on trade deals that benefit our ag producers — not imports that will do more harm than good.

We don’t want any lawyers, we don’t want any press, we don’t want anybody from Congress.
