Thank you, Senator Booker. So the other thing that stressed out my constituents that I talked about this weekend is air safety. They are very, very stressed out about these cuts to the FAA. You know, there was a plane crash not too far…
Senator Booker, I have been listening to this debate all night, and I have got to say, you are on fire. And you are on fire because the American people are very, very angry about what is happening. They are not happy with what this…
I have another question before you start your letters, Senator Booker, if you will take another question, if you will yield.
The Trump MAGA machine is powerful. They are aggressive. They are nasty. They issue death threats.
I would like to take a moment to honor the late Dr. Hazel Dukes, who died earlier this month. Hazel was not just my mentor and longtime friend, she was an extraordinary advocate for members of the African-American community across New York…
I want to tell you about an extraordinary woman, my senior adviser Geri Shapiro. Geri is in the final stages of a long battle with cancer, and so I wanted to express my deepest gratitude and thanks for her service to my office and to all…

The closure of the White Plains hearing office in New York may force individuals to travel up to 135 miles to the next nearest SSA location.
As the only hearing office in the lower Hudson Valley region, its closure will negatively impact thousands of constituents who reside in these seven counties.
The Trump administration must come clean with whatever dirty deal they have planned for a health fund that should be about taking care of our 9/11 heroes—nothing more, nothing less.
If SSA does not open an alternative site, beneficiaries will be required to travel between 24 and 135 miles to be serviced by the closest offices.
Travel by private vehicle or public transportation to any of these alternative locations would pose greater hardship for constituents, while also significantly increasing the costs and time associated with travel.
As the only hearing office in the lower Hudson Valley region, its closure will negatively impact thousands of constituents who reside in these seven counties.
This is incredibly alarming. We worked for a decade to combat sexual assault in our ranks, resulting in historic reforms to our military justice system.
Thank you so much, Senator Warren, for your unbelievable tenacity and clear-eyed and thoughtful remarks. I yield the balance of my postcloture debate time on the Vought nomination to Senator Schumer. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Duly noted.
For older New Yorkers, I vote no. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Pursuant to rule XII, no debate is permitted during a vote. The Senator will suspend. The clerk will continue to call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.
Trump’s buyout offer would have devastating consequences for the tens of millions of Americans who rely on Social Security.
I ask unanimous consent that the bills be considered read a third time and passed and the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, all en bloc. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The bill…
if you have ever had kids, you know how important it can be to encourage their education. But with many competing priorities, you sometimes need to use creative strategies to inspire success. That is something that Holcombe Rucker did…
during World War II, Fort Ontario was the only U.S. refugee shelter for people fleeing the Holocaust. Let me say it again. Fort Ontario was the only U.S. refugee shelter for people fleeing the Holocaust. It gave them a safe haven. It gave…
notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills en bloc: Calendar No. 630, S. 4607; Calendar No. 589, S. 2742. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded…
I ask unanimous consent that the committee-reported substitute amendments, where applicable, be agreed to; the bills, as amended, if amended, be considered read a third time and passed; and that the motions to reconsider be considered made…
