So, according to the whistleblower, you personally intervened to get key DOGE officials installed at the agency who have masterminded this shipwreck that we’re dealing today.

Already, financial services firms are salivating at the possibility of profiting off of Americans' hard-earned retirement benefits.

At a time when the agency’s workforce is at a 50-year low, the potential loss of centuries’ worth of agency experience will risk worsening backlogs, lengthening wait times, and interrupting benefit payment.

very briefly, I want to thank my colleague. We have been working, as we have indicated, for months and months, because Americans, with respect to healthcare, feel like they are getting hit by a wrecking ball here in terms of the costs and…

notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that Senator Wyden, Senator Sanders, and Senator Scott be recognized for up to 25 minutes, and that following their remarks, the majority leader be recognized. The PRESIDING OFFICER…

I come to the floor with my colleague from Vermont Senator Sanders to pass a set of critical improvements to America's healthcare system. This legislation is overwhelmingly bipartisan, fully paid for, and targeted at two objectives every…

This legislation is overwhelmingly bipartisan, fully paid for, and targeted at two objectives every senator should support: improving health care for Americans and cracking down on middlemen who are taking advantage of the system.

Community pharmacists are counting on this legislation. Doctors who don’t want to see a pay cut are counting on this legislation. Seniors and working families who want better care at a lower cost are counting on this legislation.

The Trump administration's statement is far from an embrace of drug price negotiation.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Elon Musk wants to start a payment app.

I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Elon Musk wants to start a payment app.

my colleague from New Hampshire is being way too logical for some of what passes as trade debate here. And it is my hope that her excellent proposal will be back on this Senate floor sometime soon for unanimous consent to pass a very…

firing half of all Social Security workers will guarantee that seniors will stop seeing their earned benefits arrive on time and in full.

Trump's promises to protect Social Security are a sham, just like the rest of his actions since taking office.

The goal of this effort is to hollow out an agency that currently delivers retirement benefits with a 99.7% accuracy rate, and hand over the keys to private equity and grifters who want to pillage Social Security for all it's worth.

It’s not going to fool anybody at all. What they’re trying to do is spend more money — and they’re going to spend it on billionaires.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Nomination of Jamieson Greer

My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means [department chief Elon] Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America.

first of all, I want to thank Senator Kaine for his extraordinary leadership on this. I think America is at a crucial time on energy policy, and Senator Kaine cuts right to the heart of the debate. Donald Trump wants more tax cuts for the…

I rise in opposition to the nomination of Jamieson Greer to serve as U.S. Trade Representative. If confirmed, he would be the top official on one of the President's signature issues: trade and tariffs. Donald Trump was elected President…

House Republicans have just taken one of the most morally reprehensible actions Congress has seen in a generation.

We write to express deep concern regarding disturbing reports that President Donald Trump replaced SSA Acting Commissioner Michelle King.

this amendment is simple, it is direct, and, I believe, the only legislation tonight that is comprehensive on healthcare, that protects Medicaid and Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. It does that by taking cuts to these vital programs…

How much time do I have remaining? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator has 24 seconds remaining.

I rise in opposition. This amendment claims to protect Medicare and Medicaid, but it does neither. In particular, the Medicaid language seeks to talk about a group called the most vulnerable. Obviously, we care about them, but the language…
