They like to bully and threaten. But when push comes to shove, they'll have to come back.

I rise today to mark the centennial of the Probation Act, which was signed into law on March 4, 1925. The law allowed Federal judges to include probation as part of a person's sentence, leading to the creation of the Federal probation…

first, let me thank Senator Blumenthal for this effort. It really matters. Even if it fails, it matters to our veterans to know that we tried, to know that we did not leave them out there at the mercy of Elon Musk and his little muskrats…

The Supreme Court justices are so deeply ensconced in a cocoon of special interest money that they can no longer be trusted to police themselves without proper process.

I am here today in opposition to the measure that we are about to vote on, which would undo a rule that regulates the release of methane into the atmosphere. Let's just start with the most basic simple proposition that methane is…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Mullin). Without objection, it is so ordered. H.J. Res. 35

That’s what you get for letting Vance in the room.

today is a sad and discouraging--even disgraceful--day here in the Senate. The vote that we have just taken signals the utter and complete subservience of the Trump administration and the Republican Party to the polluters of the fossil…

I thank the Presiding Officer. This is oversized because it is big. This was a full-page ad in the New York Times--Sunday, December 6, 2009. Barack Obama was President, and to be absolutely candid, he wasn't doing much on climate. The…

I am here to join my colleagues in objecting to President Trump's fake energy emergency, which is part of the Trump continuing strategy to hurt families and help billionaires-- in this case, the fossil fuel billionaires who put at least…

I am here to join my distinguished colleague from California in opposition to the nomination of Kash Patel and to make crystal clear to this body what he is going to do in that job. He has shown who he is. So when these things go wrong, I…

For the Senate, there is a strong majority, supermajority, in favor of supporting Ukraine, seeing this through and making sure that this does not come off as a win for Putin and embolden him further.

Musk's thuggery toward judges is unacceptable in rule-of-law countries.

Such attacks are unacceptable in rule-of-law countries.

I am here to speak in opposition to the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to serve as the Director of National Intelligence of the United States of America. Setting aside her lack of qualifications and setting aside her rotten judgment, her…

I vote against creepy billionaire influence.

It’s not just that the buyout won’t be honored; it can’t be honored.

well, we are in interesting times, and we are beginning to see the corporate and billionaire takeover of the U.S. Government. And in that corporate and billionaire takeover of the U.S. Government, the nominee Russ Vought to run OMB has a…

Against creepy billionaire influence, 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.

I sit on the Judiciary Committee and was present for the confirmation hearing of Pam Bondi in her quest to be Attorney General of the United States. I have to say that there is a lot to admire. She had been a competent prosecutor for many…

It's unpleasant to be told we're making up lies when we're using his actual words.

I am a friend of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming, but on this matter, we disagree quite a lot. I think, clearly, everybody likes clean air and clean water. My opposition to Lee Zeldin is founded on where he is likely to be on a…

many of us who were here on January 6 have pretty indelible memories. I am looking at Senator Murray, who has particularly harrowing memories. One of mine is, I was one of the last people out of the Senate, and by the time we got to the…

I think this is my first time with you presiding, so it is good to see you. This power grab--this attempted power grab--that took place today in flagrant disregard for our separation of powers has a home not in the Constitution but in…

it is nice to see you in the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. It is nice being in the Chair.
