We will not let this evil order make us less American. We will fight it with everything we have and we will win this fight.

To our brave public servants: Your courage in stepping forward as whistleblowers to expose corruption and misconduct is essential to preserving the integrity of our democratic institutions.

We cannot allow Elon Musk and a small group of people to secretly, behind close doors, take away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything we have.

Whatever DOGE is doing, it's not democracy.

he is the most important piece of the puzzle in Donald Trump’s second term. He will be the quarterback of White House policy.

If you look at Project 2025, they want to slash so many of those things to bits.

We want Americans every hour, whether it's 8pm or 3am, to hear how bad Russell Vought is and the danger he poses to them in their daily lives

He is one of the most fringe and hard-right individuals the Senate has seen in a very long time.

He’s the chief architect of Project 2025. He is going to make Project 2025 the official policy of the federal government.

Donald Trump gave DOGE access to America's personal refund data. He gave DOGE access to people's Medicare and Medicaid benefits, disability data, veteran benefit data. Worst of all, we don't know what DOGE intends to do with this…

the most radical nominee, who has the most extreme agenda

none of them hold a candle to Russell Vought. He is far and away the most dangerous to the American people.

Russell Vought is not a business-as-usual nominee. He is one of the most fringe and hard-right individuals the Senate has seen in a very long time.

Most people have never heard of Russell Vought before, but make no mistake about it, my fellow Americans: He is the most important piece of the puzzle in Donald Trump's second term.

It’s letting a small group of unelected people, secret, run rampant through the executive branch accessing the private data millions of Americans need, and God knows what they’re going to do with it.

Of all the harmful nominees, of all the extremists that Donald Trump has elevated, of all the hard-right ideologues who have come before the Senate, none of them hold a candle to Russell Vought.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sheehy). Without objection, it is so ordered.

yesterday, Leader Jeffries and I announced legislation to stop unlawful meddling by DOGE or other entities in the Treasury Department's payments system. Our bill will deny access to the payment system by anyone designated as a ``special…

I thank my friend from New Hampshire who cares so much about this issue and has done a great job. And I will just be brief on that because I want to talk about Russell Vought. As is clear, we Democrats--I, certainly--I hate the ICC. I have…

Democrats have spent virtually every minute of the last 30 hours sounding the alarm about the dangers of Russell Vought. We feel it a mission to let America know that Russell Vought is a threat to Social Security, to Medicare, to…

He is far and away the most dangerous to the American people.

Make no mistake, Russell Vought is Project 2025 incarnate.

His confirmation would be a disaster for working families, and a godsend to billionaires who don't pay their fair share in taxes.
