I have admittedly lost count on how many of these resolutions we have brought before the body. This must be our seventh, eighth, or ninth. That is extraordinary, duplicative, redundant, but necessary because, at least in my time in the…

I am glad to be on the floor--sixth, seventh, eighth week in a row; I have lost count--this week to support Senator Merkley's resolution to end the war in Iran. It is simple: This is a war that is making America less safe. It is a war that…

I think Senator Cornyn and I share a goal--actually, multiple goals--one is to adequately protect children who are crossing the border by themselves to make sure that they are in adequate, humane, and appropriate placements; but also to…

I was out in the hallways a week ago, and a reporter asked me a reasonable question. She said: Do you think Democrats overplayed their hand in the negotiations over the DHS budget? Did you ask for too much, thus prompting the moment that…

I am here on the floor to add my support to the resolution being brought before us by Senator Duckworth. This is the third week in a row that we are having an opportunity on the Senate floor to have a short debate and a vote on the most…

in a building filled with history, Mario D'Angelo is an institution of the Senate in his own right. Born in Orsogna, Italy, in 1947, Mario traveled to the United States with his mother and sister at the age of 13. Mario's father was a…

Donald Trump is one of the most unpopular presidents at this point in his presidency in history

colleagues, in a few moments I am going to call up for a vote--a resolution on a privileged motion to end the war in Iran. I am going to be joined on the floor by several of my colleagues, all of us here in astonishment that 4 weeks into…

I am humbled to follow my colleague from Illinois. No one is more articulate on the question of the cost of war than Senator Duckworth, and I agree with everything that she said about the importance of this moment. Listen, maybe the most…

I think she laid out an unassailable case about how this is going to greatly constrain people's abilities to cast their votes, how it is a broad assault on democracy, how it effectively makes up a problem that doesn't exist. Here is what…

My friend, you have lost the argument with the public. You just have. The public thinks that ICE is out of control. The public does not want ICE to continue operating in the way that they are operating. They have seen the scenes out of…

yesterday and today, Democrats have been on the floor asking for something very simple: Let's open up TSA. Let's open up CISA, which protects this country from cyber attack. Let's open up the Coast Guard. Let's open up FEMA. Republicans…

the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Republicans have learned nothing from decades of American hubris in the Middle East, believing that U.S. troops, U.S. planes, U.S. guns, and U.S. bombs could fundamentally change…

This president is intentionally tanking our economy. He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation.

We can demand that ICE stop murdering American citizens, and we can demand that the administration not send our kids to die for a war that we don't need.

We can do two things at once. We can demand that ICE stop murdering American citizens, and we can demand that the administration not send our kids to die for a war that we don't need.

This is a disaster. It is illegal.

The president is obligated under the Constitution to come to Congress and ask for an authorization of military force.

We are engaged in regular, ongoing military strikes that have – that has already killed American soldiers with the goal of regime change. If that is not war, what is?

I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.

The people want ICE to start behaving legally, and they don't want wars overseas.

Nobody in this country is asking for war with Iran, just like, months ago, no one in this country was asking for war with Venezuela.

We are going to have regional war breaking out.

we all swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and that means that we have an obligation to fund the government--but only a government that is complying with the Constitution, that is obeying and being restrained by the Bill of Rights…

I rise today to memorialize Lance Corporal Chukwuemeka Oforah, a marine stationed at Camp Lejeune who tragically lost his life in a recent boating accident. While conducting operations in the Caribbean on February 7, Oforah fell overboard…
