The grave danger we now face is that the current administration has undermined both prongs of deterrence strategy in different theaters — a lack of will in Ukraine and a lack of capacity in Iran.

The problem of escalating instability, unfortunately, is not confined to Europe’s eastern frontier. The danger of war between America’s autocratic adversaries and our democratic allies is rising around the world for one simple, troubling…

At the end of the day, this deal from the White House is an attempt to boost their short-term political prospects at the true cost of the American people.

Adding insult to injury, today’s deal is a slap in the face to every member of Congress who voted for the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act just last month.

This so-called deal with Russia will do little for America and much for Vladimir Putin as he seeks to sustain his murderous campaign on Ukraine.

Instead of pursuing solutions that are consistent with America’s values, President Trump has decided to ease energy sanctions on Russia.

Americans nationwide are struggling with the cost-of-living – from prices at the pump to the cost of essentials at the grocery story – mostly due to Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran and his devastating tariffs on our long-standing…

That's not as dire as some of the AI officials who have suggested that there was a 10 percent chance of wiping out all of humanity.

Their experiences demonstrate the critical importance of early support and reliable access to care.

National Veterans Suicide Prevention Day is a solemn reminder of our responsibility to the veterans we have lost, and to the families who carry their memory forward.

Despite our country’s desperate need for additional affordable housing options, American homebuilders face steep costs and bureaucratic red tape.

Protecting the approximately 101,000 Ukrainian TPS holders currently living in the United States is a humanitarian imperative, but also a sound economic decision.

So if that is the case, who decides who is protected and who isn’t?

The implication of the term golden dome is a national coverage. I think all of you will agree that that is just not in the cards.

First I have an issue with how this program is being funded. That is not really your problem, but it’s being funded principally through reconciliation, which is a totally partisan process with very little input from the appropriations…

This bipartisan Providing Veterans Essential Medications Act is a crucial piece of legislation that will ensure our veterans continue to receive the care they have earned, regardless of where they chose to live.

If the VA covers veterans’ medications when they are living at a private nursing home, those cost reimbursements should be the same when veterans choose to enter a facility that specializes in taking care of veterans.

President Trump is having enough difficulty doing his job; Congress should take this opportunity to do ours.

Why does he believe he can claw back a nearly billion dollars of bipartisan-approved Congressional spending?

This isn’t a vague legal concept they are abusing; it’s grade school-level American government: Article 1 of the United States Constitution.

This administration’s Office of Management and Budget has just unilaterally taken away 800 million dollars that Congress passed on a bipartisan basis towards key priorities – in blatant defiance of the Constitution and federal law.

As more older Americans live in their own homes, timely access by fire departments and EMS in the event of a fall can mean the difference between life and death.

We all know the saying ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,’ and preventative care is a win-win for Maine patients, families and the taxpayers.

One of our nation’s most significant works of public art has stood incomplete for decades, right here in the U.S. Senate. I’m thrilled that the restoration of Alexander Calder’s Mountains and Clouds is moving forward.
