The Public Record
Dianne Emiel Feinstein was an American politician who served as a United States Senator from California from 1992 until her death in 2023. She was the first woman to hold this position, breaking significant barriers in a predominantly male political landscape. Throughout her tenure, Feinstein was known for her advocacy on issues such as gun control, environmental protection, and intelligence oversight, playing a pivotal role in shaping legislation in these areas.
I rise in strong opposition to the Republican healthcare bill known as Graham-Cassidy. You would expect that Republicans' fourth attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act would be better than the previous three. In fact, the opposite is…
I rise today to introduce a resolution to recognize September as Workforce Development Month. As technological advances reshape traditional fields and fuel the emergence of new industries, it is imperative that our workforce development…
today I wish to congratulate this body on its passage of two important antitrafficking bills: the Abolish Human Trafficking Act and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. I am proud to have worked with Senators Grassley, Cornyn, and…
yesterday, along with several of my colleagues, I introduced the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 2017. This bill would reauthorize a national program to improve the Nation's earthquake preparedness. Senators Murkowski…
I rise to speak about the need to protect undocumented young people, commonly referred to as Dreamers, from deportation. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, or what is called DACA, was announced by President Obama in 2012…
today I offer private immigration relief legislation to provide an immigrant visa or lawful permanent resident status to Maria Mendoza Sanchez, Eusebio Sanchez, and Vianney Sanchez. The family represents the essence of the American dream…
Isolating the North Koreans has not halted their pursuit of nuclear weapons and President Trump is not helping the situation with his bombastic comments. In my view, diplomacy is the only sound path forward.
This will be the beginning, not the end, of the punishment against Russia if the president doesn't toughen up.
I thank the distinguished Senator from Connecticut for his remarks, and I would like to make a few remarks with respect to my position as ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. As has been well described, shortly, we will vote on the…
today I want to speak briefly about the nomination of Kevin Newsom to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals from Alabama. I intend to support Mr. Newsom's nomination. Mr. Newsom is currently in private practice in Birmingham. He previously…
I rise today to introduce the Protecting Consumers from Unreasonable Rates Act. This critical health care reform bill would address the soaring cost of insurance premiums. Many factors contribute to increasing premiums, from the increased…
Absolutely, those two will come back to Capitol Hill and be in a public session.
Am I concerned? No. I'm not concerned because if they don't, they'll be subpoenaed.
I would like to thank you for your decision in May to release the long-awaited grant agreement for Caltrain's Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project.
It is my hope that you will take this as a signal of our intentions to continue providing funding in the years to come.

I appreciate that and we can talk more about it. I hope you will be available.
I really do not know what it all means. It seems to me the Congress has an ability, too, to add money and that we should.
If you think about it, it is. If you think about the fact that it's conducted by intelligence agencies, we know Russian intelligence to be relentless and ruthless, and it all happened, and it contributed toward the defeat of an American…
The United States of America cannot see the critical infrastructure of an American democratic election destroyed by Russia.
I've been on this Committee for a long time. I have never seen a time when, with full confidence, every single one of America's intelligence agencies have come together and say they have--they have full confidence that this was…
I am disappointed by the proposals from both agencies and the Army Corps' budget for the Civil Works program that is cut by $1 billion or 17 percent.
I don't think that we can sit here and see the amount of destruction that has been done, the defeat of a candidate, the intrusion into 21 State systems.
