What you want to make sure of is that the American people aren't in the dark with respect to important health issues. You want them to be able to comment. You want them to be able to weigh in. And I think that is extraordinarily important…
This bill would rescind each dollar of unspent funding from emergency supplementals, including funds America needs to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. For example, the Trump administration is using this funding right now--that is…
takes a reasonable protection against government surveillance and wraps it in an unacceptable giveaway of your tax dollars to Republican senators
I would ask any Republican who accuses Democrats of bailing out insurance companies to talk to a small business owner in their State who fears that if they don't have the tax credits next year--I repeat, next year--those small businesses…
I support this proposal and would like Americans to know why. Since before Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term, Senate Democrats have known that this is a healthcare problem for millions of American families that cries out for…
I think the remarks my colleague has made are thoughtful. He knows that since my days as director of the Gray Panthers, I have always wanted to work in a bipartisan fashion. But how do you do it if, in fact, in the Finance Committee, we…
what my colleague seems to be stressing-- and it is something I share--is that there is an urgency here. In my State, we have a couple with premium hikes of 500 percent. They feel like they are getting hit by a healthcare wrecking ball…
I rise to promote the passage of S.J. Res. 88, a resolution to repeal Donald Trump's price-hiking global tariffs. American families are being squeezed by prices going up and up and up. More than three-quarters of families say their monthly…
Our country’s technology advantage is not worth giving away just so Trump can get a few headlines.
Giving China access to cutting edge AI chips in exchange for raw materials is a terrible deal for America’s national security.
My colleague has richly earned a few hours of sleep tonight, but I am going to make sure that here in the Senate and across the country, people understand that this is the beginning of further discussion, not the end. I want to thank my…
It seems to me America is the last bastion of liberty in the world. There is nowhere to flee to, no mighty republic that stands if American democracy fails. I want to commend my partner from Oregon for taking this exceptionally important…
Without stronger oversight and real accountability, these contractors are just going to get a jumbo windfall for creating systems that actually harm Americans trying to get health care.
They're essentially health care middlemen that are in the business of red tape, and they profit when Americans don't get health care.
I join my colleagues, today, in standing up for Americans' basic constitutional rights. Donald Trump has again deployed agents and troops to my hometown of Portland, OR, and to other American cities. He announced this authoritarian…
in the wake of the violent and senseless murders of multiple lawmakers and political advocates, I rise to seek passage of legislation that will provide a real measure of protection to all Americans for their privacy and security. Before I…
I simply believe it is unfortunate when the Senate will pass privacy protections for ourselves but not for all Americans and that only shady data brokers, would-be murderers and stalkers, as well as foreign adversaries buying data on U.S…
I urge Oregonians to reject Trump's attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city.
My message to Donald Trump is this: we don't need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
Robert Kennedy has elevated conspiracy theorists, crackpots and grifters to make life-or-death decisions about the health care of the American people.
Every single day, there’s been an action that endangers the health and wellness of American families.
