It is actually illegal.

What happened over Christmas was appalling.

What specific steps is Southwest implementing over the course of this year to earn back the trust of your flight crews?

Next month actually marks my 30th year as a pilot from when I first showed up at flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

I ask unanimous consent that the 5:30 vote commence immediately. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

my daughter Abigail, my oldest daughter, just turned 8. She is silly and smart and gives the best hugs you could ever imagine. She has big dreams, and if you have ever met her, you just know that she will reach them. She has decided that…

I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions be discharged from further consideration of S. 5276 and that the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; further, that the bill be considered read…

this week, the U.S. Senate acted, unanimously, to honor our Nation's dedicated law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency responders by passing the Public Safety Officer Support Act, known as PSOSA. I was proud to author the…

2-year-old Aiden McCarthy was lying bloodied and pinned underneath his unconscious father when he was found--just a toddler, Aiden was still in diapers, had somehow lost one shoe and was down to just one blood-soaked sock, with scrapes…

Protecting our Nation's public health requires achieving clean air for all Americans, yet our current air monitoring system is woefully deficient, both in terms of capacity and capability.

It is outrageous that in the wealthiest Country in the world, communities of color are exposed to 63 percent more air pollution than they create.

We saw this again in 2005 in the Sauget community of St. Louis, which is an area of importance to Senator Duckworth.

We have to do more to keep our community safe. We have to get rid of assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and so many other additional common-sense reforms that wide majorities of Americans are crying out for.

There`s no reason to have these weapons on our streets. Not for hunting, not for self protection. It has to end.

I rise today to honor Chicago's very own WGN Radio for reaching its milestone 100th birthday this year. In a century's time, WGN has reported on so much of our Nation's history. The station is synonymous with Chicago's vibrant sports…

I’m calling for us to suspend the filibuster and pass sensible gun legislation at the 50 vote minimum, at the 50 vote threshold, 51 vote threshold.

Sickening, nauseating, but it’s true to form because they care more about checks from the NRA than they do about 19 massacred children.

There’s a lot that we can do right away. And frankly, my colleagues care more about a check in their account than they do about babies being killed while they’re supposed to be at school.

The assault weapons ban alone was -- by allowing it to expire has allowed the mass -- the deaths for mass shootings to triple in this country.

95 percent of Americans support universal background checks, getting rid of the gun show loophole.

This is about politicians who care more about a check, a pay day, a payoff from gun manufacturers than they do dead babies.

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll. (Mr. WYDEN assumed the Chair.) (Mr. PADILLA…

last night, as I was doomscrolling--as they say one does at 2 in the morning when you can't sleep--what I was looking up were places to buy ballistic protective backpacks for my daughters, who are 4 and 7, and places to buy ballistic…

my older daughter, Abigail--named for Abigail Adams, who urged her husband to ``remember the ladies''--is 7. She is generous, silly, and so, so smart. She calls herself a maker-kid and dreams of being an engineer or an army nurse but…

This isn`t just about access to abortion. I mean, that, in itself, is more than enough to mount the campaign to codify Roe into law. But think about things that are -- that are dependent on Roe.
