Americans deserve a Director of National Intelligence who is nonpartisan, experienced, and committed solely to safeguarding our country.

The Director of National Intelligence, Acting or otherwise, should be focused on providing independent, objective assessments of threats to our nation, not advancing the president’s political interests.

Bill Pulte lacks the national security experience and judgment required to protect the American people from terrorism and foreign threats.

My Albuquerque Indian School Act is more than just a land transfer. It is about putting a small but important piece of land back where it belongs – with New Mexico’s 19 Pueblos.

But we’re going to do everything we can to make sure that those dollars, which belong to you, your tax dollars do not get spent on a ridiculous vanity project.

Electric vehicles aren’t impacted by volatile oil and gas markets. If President Trump is serious about working to lower Americans’ costs, he needs to work to find solutions that bring costs down and invest in American-made energy solutions…

I want to understand why funds from the Infrastructure Bill were used to reduce the workforce.

Will you commit to dispersing the funds as appropriated?

Law and policy governing access to lifesaving, time-sensitive medication abortion care in the United States should be equitable, transparent, and based on the best available peer-reviewed evidence-based science.

Senate passage of our legislation to extend the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program is an important step toward helping folks get needed emergency care in minutes, not hours.

This administration is trying to ignore the voice of the public and lift up the voice of [private] industry. The input from the public has been 99 percent for protecting these areas.

They depend on every single one of us recommitting to the values they fought for.

Americans are paying the high price for President Trump’s war.

As much as this administration seems hell-bent on ignoring the public, what I would say to all of you is: Raise your voices.

I just want to be really clear: I don't think any of us voted for funding in the infrastructure bill to be used to reduce the workforce. That was funding that was really focused on watershed treatment.

We have to not do multiple use. [It] doesn't mean every single use on every single acre. We've heard a lot of lip service about listening to local communities, but I think we actually need to do that, especially in these cases where the…

Clean water and recreation are what drive my state's economy, and a great example of that is the Pecos Watershed, which economically supports agriculture, recreation, tourism, hunting, and fishing.

Chairman Lee said, ‘partnerships matter.’ You talked about the importance of partnerships, particularly with states, but this budget eliminates the funding for the state, private, and Tribal accounts that really support those partnerships.

Senate Democrats are focused on bringing down costs, and throughout this process, Democrats will continue to show the American people that we are fighting to make it easier for families to get ahead and build an economy where families…

Republicans’ only focus has been funding Trump’s ballroom and throwing tens of billions more taxpayer dollars at ICE and Border Patrol without any reforms or accountability – all while providing $0 in cost relief to American families.

Throwing a billion taxpayer dollars at Trump’s gold-plated ballroom is the last thing Congress should be doing while hardworking Americans are getting crushed at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and by higher housing, health care, and…
