I think voters would rightly see it as a surrender

Millions of Americans are struggling to put food on the table — a harsh reality that President Trump has abjectly failed to recognize, and Republicans have made worse by refusing to work with Democrats on reopening the government and…

We are here about real people and real pain. Sickness that they will endure, hands that won't be held, pocketbooks that will go empty, children who will go hungry, and yet not a single Republican is on the floor--not a single one. You…

I am proud to begin a series of speakers and to be leading off this bloc of colleagues who are going to talk about an issue that is so much on our minds these days, and actually healthcare is always on our minds. There is a saying: If you…

This nonpartisan, independent organization is about to be enmeshed in the very perilous quicksand of Donald Trump’s donation scheme for his ballroom.

The talks will go nowhere if Republicans remain completely intransigent and resistant to any compromise on extending the health care coverage.

what has always separated America from other nations around the world is the right to vote. It is a right that everybody in this body cherishes, as do the American people. Every person who approaches the ballot box generally has confidence…

In their race to the bottom, AI companies are pushing treacherous chatbots at kids and looking away when their products cause sexual abuse, or coerce them into self-harm or suicide.

We’re very firm, explicit, clear, that we are going to insist on extending the health care tax credit and working at the same time for the SNAP benefits.

My heart breaks, my stomach turns when I see the destruction of an iconic treasure.

My problem is not only with the use of the National Guard as a police force but, even more alarmingly, the potential use of virtually unchecked power under the Insurrection Act. The measure that I seek unanimous consent on is the…

Americans are watching members of the military patrolling the streets of major cities in the United States of America. I never thought I would utter those words anywhere, let alone on the floor of the U.S. Senate--members of the military…

I can pretty well guarantee the SCORE Act ain’t gonna make it through the Senate

I trust no Republican’s word as long as Donald Trump is saying he refuses to extend health care tax subsidies.

It’s a black eye for the country. ... It should get them to the table.

Last year, I was privileged to lead a bipartisan delegation of 20 of our colleagues to Normandy, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the historic landing there, where American boys-- and they were boys, 17 and 18 years old--stormed the…

The West's energy watchdog now expects the [United States] to add nearly 250 gigawatts of new capacity by 2030--down almost 50% from last year's projections--as a result of fresh import restrictions, the suspension of new offshore wind…

I am here to talk about a bill that is a matter of fundamental fairness to our veterans and most especially to our combat-injured veterans--a group that should evoke the sympathies and support of our Nation as no other. I am here to talk…

I am honored to follow the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, particularly in his remarks on the Executive order that Donald Trump issued on Inauguration Day to declare a nonexistent energy emergency. And I join him in support of…

I respect the points that are being made by my friend from Mississippi. In fact, we share support for every one of those armed services measures that he had described, whether it is bolstering our nuclear force, providing for more drone…

I want to refute two points. No. 1, on double-dipping, let's be clear that these are two separate programs, and the right to payment under each of them is separately deserved. Not everyone who is entitled to retirement pay gets disability…

Today we mark 2 years since the horrific attack in Israel on October 7, 2023. Two years ago, Israel was the victim of one of the most vicious, vile, terrible crimes in recent memory--maybe in all of history. Thousands of Hamas terrorists…

Standing up to (Trump) on this is sending a message to him on those other issues as well.

my thoughts tonight are with the millions of Americans who will bear the brunt of this shutdown: the families in the path of hurricanes who will go without the services of FEMA, the veterans who will lack many of the helping hands in the…

We urge NHTSA to immediately launch a formal investigation into this disturbing safety risk and take any necessary action to protect the public.
