Donald Trump is trashing our economy. First, Donald Trump imposed across-the-board tariffs. Then, just a few hours ago, he dropped those tariffs to 10 percent on everyone and moved the tariffs up to 125 percent on China, up from 105…

Thank you. Can you join us, Cameron? Cameron demonstrates public service at its very best. The role of the chief clerk on the Banking Committee is nonpartisan. A chief clerk serves both the majority and minority fairly and equally. To this…

I rise today to recognize a true public servant, Cameron Ricker, the chief clerk of Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, who is leaving the Senate after 8 years. And I am glad to recognize today Cameron's loving family, who is…

I ask for consent to speak for 5 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Trump and the Republicans can tell lies about what they are doing, but votes don't lie. Republicans just voted to say that there is no billionaire rich enough that they don't need a new tax break. So what about giant corporations? The year…

Exxon paid nothing. A Boston public school teacher paid $10,000 after those tax cuts. I will take that as a no. I am ready for a vote, and I will accept a voice vote. Vote on Amendment No. 1647 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question now…

I call up my amendment No. 1647 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Massachusetts [Ms. Warren] proposes an amendment numbered 1647 to…

I want to say thank you to the Senator from Oregon. I am grateful for your leadership in making sure that America understands exactly what the Republicans are up to and how they have just got one central mission; and that is, cut services…

It is time to eliminate the real waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending, rather than ravaging programs that keep Americans safe, secure, and healthy just to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations.

The job of the Democrats over the next 36 hours is to hold the Republicans’ feet to the fire, force them to tell the truth about what they want to do to the American economy and what they believe fairness is, and that is a country that…

I am very grateful to the Senator from New Jersey for coming to the floor for such an extended period of time to give voice to all of those around this country whose voices evidently are not heard by the Republicans in the U.S. Congress. I…

Senate Democrats are united in saying: Trump and Elon, get your hands off our Social Security.

Why go out of your way to cut Social Security benefits? Come on now. There are 73 million Americans who rely on this. This has been the backbone of America's promise to its own people that you did the work, you put in the money, and now…

They have to come to the U.S. Senate or they have to go to the U.S. House of Representatives, and they have to say: We actually want to change benefits for Social Security recipients. By the way, that has happened dozens and dozens of…

It’s now clear that the Fed acted too late and let inflation get too high, and then responded by keeping rates too high for too long.

Billionaire co-presidents Donald Trump and Elon Musk are taking a chainsaw to public schools because it’s not their kids who will suffer the consequences.

The Trump administration is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process.

I want to thank the Senator from Connecticut for his work today in defending the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and highlighting again the importance of this work from CFPB to help level the playing field just a little between the…

This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties.

Is it a benefit cut?

This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms - and we will push back.

We write regarding our concerns about the Trump Administration's ongoing efforts — in conjunction with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — to hollow out the Social Security Administration (SSA) and deprive Americans of…

Not only does Dr. Oz want to gut Medicare, but he evidently cheated on his Medicare taxes.
