I was absent on Monday, March 24, 2025, for rollcall vote No. 137. Had I been present, I would have voted yea on confirmation of Executive Calendar No. 41, Christopher Landau, of Maryland, to be Deputy Secretary of State…

Why I’m so upset is this puts our guys and gals in harm’s way.

It’s a level of arrogance and incompetence that frankly is terrifying.

Putting aside that classified information should never be discussed over an unclassified system, ... it's also just mind-boggling to me that all these senior folks were on this line, and nobody bothered to even check – security hygiene 101…

the Trump administration as having a cavalier attitude.

The Signal fiasco is not a one-off. It is, unfortunately, a pattern we’re seeing too often repeated.

Are these government devices? Were they personal devices? Have the devices been collected to make sure there's no malware?

If there is no classified material, share it with the committee.

If it's not classified, share the texts now.

Our job is to make sure we call these folks on the carpet and say, ‘How did this happen? Who’s going to bear the responsibility? How do we make sure it’s not going to happen again, and how many other incidents haven’t been repeated so far?’

There's plenty of declassified information that shows that our adversaries, China and Russia, are trying to break into encryption systems like Signal.

I also want to thank my dear friend from Maine. She is moving back up much higher on all of our lists for being willing to step up and help correct this. You know, we all want what the President wants. The President wants our Nation's…

These are tough, tough calls.

I have total respect for the folks who reached another conclusion, and the idea that they would have had a shutdown that would have put us into the abyss with, unfortunately, parts of this administration, doesn’t follow the law.

I will be voting NO on the CR. Virginians deserve more than letting Elon & Trump run wild through our government, slashing jobs and cutting services.

I think people want to see a vote on the 30-day CR to let the process finish. I think there's still a chance, I believe, to get something done.

I was absent on Thursday, March 6, 2025, for rollcall vote No. 110. Had I been present, I would have voted Yea on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 18, S. 331, the Halt All Lethal Trafficking (HALT) of…

It's awful. It's awful. It's awful.

this one move from Trump will cost lives.

Ashley Ranalli—a park ranger and cancer survivor laid off by Elon and Trump—will be accompanying me to the State of the Union.

I rise today in support of my colleagues'--Senator Heinrich and Senator Kaine--resolution. I appreciate their part of the presentations, but I strongly support this resolution. I want to also acknowledge one of many reasons we vote for…

I rise in support of this amendment, which would prohibit any reconciliation bill that does not decrease the cost of housing for American families. I don't think there is any of us in this body that doesn't hear about the enormous rising…
