the U.S. Navy has developed many traditions over its centuries of existence. Among them is the method of naming its ships. Most, though not all, aircraft carriers are named after U.S. Presidents--the USS Truman, the Eisenhower, the Ford…

The constitutional crisis is here. President Trump is disobeying lawful court orders.

Members, welcome to the roaring twenties, not the ones you may have read about in F. Scott Fitzgerald novels, not the ones with jazz and liberation and industrial boom. I mean these roaring twenties--the ones where instead of flappers, you…

The U.S. Marshals are central to preserving our democracy and upholding the rule of law. Marshals must be able to protect all judges, enforce all court orders and have the independence necessary to do their jobs.

my colleagues, it is getting very late. Indeed, most of our constituents are asleep. But across the U.S. Capitol tonight, the lights remain on. Over in the House, they burn dimly on the House floor as Republicans try to jam through a…

If you’re successful in eliminating half of our efforts to clean our water and our air, your legacy will be more lung cancer, it’ll be more bladder cancer, it’ll be more head and neck cancer, it’ll be more breast cancer, it’ll be more…

I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency, and it won’t affect people’s health or their water, their air. That, to me, is a big fiction.

There have been dozens of times where Republicans have gotten opinions from the GAO. This is just their way of trying to put a favorable spin on breaking their word.

today, I want to talk about ``The Art of the Deal'' because Donald Trump has been busy making deals. Not his promised trade deals. Those are heavy on promises but very light on actual deals. Not any deals in Congress to lower costs for the…

Because the other Fox News host in this administration is doing such a stellar job.

I thank Senator Whitehouse for his remarks. He has been our environmental champion in the Congress for many years, and he led the effort to insist that the Senate follow the rules when it comes to protecting our environment and when it…

I’ll block attempts to jam through his appointment at every stage.

We urge the Administration to ensure full due process in her case and take all appropriate and necessary measures to ensure she is not deported to Russia.

We are deeply concerned about the possibility that Petrova could face persecution if deported to Russia.

I don’t think we should have supported that [continuing resolution], and I don’t think we should support a CR in the future unless it commits the administration to following the law.

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs.

The president, his family, and his advisors are uniquely positioned to be privy and take advantage of non-public information.

If Congress is to retain any credibility as a branch of government coequal to the executive, it must assert its investigative powers now.

I’m going to do my best to find out.

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs.

I’m not a financial investigative journalist, but I do know when something smells fishy.

I don’t know exactly what went down in the hours before Trump publicly announced a 'pause' on tariffs, but it merits investigation.

He’s wrecking our economy. I think people have seen their retirement savings on fire, and there he is out on the golf course.

the Trump administration is corrupt. It is easily the single most corrupt and lawless administration in American history. And it would be exceedingly difficult to debate that simple proposition because notwithstanding all of the…

this week, Donald Trump spent his time doing three things: golfing at Mar-a-Lago; announcing his latest set of tariffs that will cost families $3,800 more a year and that are so chaotic and far-reaching that they included retaliatory…
