Here’s the bottom line: Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden by 7 million votes. Nothing Trump says tonight can change that basic reality.

Elon Musk has made it clear that he thinks Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme” relied upon by “parasites.” It’s clear now that he and President Trump are trying to take away the money YOU earned.

The SAVE America Act would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, seniors, and veterans to vote. That is an affront to our democracy, and I will be voting no.

Deporting undocumented farmworkers would be detrimental to our farmers and would increase the price of groceries for American families.

Men and women in uniform swore an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. The SAVE America Act would mean these service members would no longer be able to show just their military ID to register to vote.

The American people know what they saw in Minneapolis. ICE and DHS are terrorizing communities, ripping apart families, and killing Americans. We must rewrite the DHS bill to address these well-documented abuses. Anything less is a non-starter.

Cryptocurrency is a notoriously risky asset that is vulnerable to financial crashes. But Senate Republicans voted down my amendment that would have prevented American taxpayers from being on the hook to pay for a crypto bailout.

Immigration is not only our history but our future. We need an orderly, humane, and legal pathway to citizenship that makes sense for immigrants and Americans. I hope to work on a bipartisan basis to achieve this.

Dr. Fauci deserves an apology for the way he was treated by my Republican colleagues.

It was an embarrassment to watch my Republican colleagues berate and belittle Dr. Fauci for nearly three hours last week. If they had genuine concern for America’s public health, they would turn their attention instead to the destruction wrought by the Trump Administration’s anti-science agenda.

If President Trump cannot admit he lost in 2020, how can we expect him to honor the results of the upcoming midterm elections? His refusal to accept basic reality endangers our democracy.

While Russia bombs Ukraine and kills civilians, President Trump is bizarrelysending a delegation to a conference in Russia to discuss economic development. I challenged Secretary Rubio today to explain why we would send any U.S. official to a such an event designed to prop up Putin's war machine.

It is already illegal and incredibly uncommon for noncitizens to vote in our elections, so why are Republicans still pushing the SAVE America Act? Because they have a historically unpopular president, and the only way they think they can win is by suppressing the vote.

Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes. This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

This is the FULL story of the Trump-Blanche MAGA slush fund. (Hint: The final “agreement” couldn’t pass law school Contracts 101.)

Senate Democrats have come to the Senate floor to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard nine separate times. Republicans blocked each attempt because they wanted more money for mass deportations.

Lindsey Graham and I were adversaries on many issues and nominees, but we were trusted friends. His word was good. And I made sure mine was, too. I just paid tribute to him, his family, and the long partnership we had on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Article I Section 8 of the Constitution makes clear that Congress, and ONLY Congress, has the power to declare war. Trump decided to go to war with Iran exclusively on his own, and we are all paying the price.

No member of the Senate would vote for Todd Blanche after meeting with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. Todd Blanche has completely ignored them. His baloney excuses are denying justice for these victims.

In the aftermath of Watergate, Richard Nixon announced, "I am not a crook." Donald Trump is not wasting his time or breath to even make that assertion thanks to his crypto-enabled corruption.

My mom immigrated to America when she was two. I’m proud to be the son of an immigrant. The thought of taking something as precious as citizenship away from her because of “political views” isn’t right. And it’s not the America she was trying to be a part of.

I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson. Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.

I asked then-Judge John Roberts about executive power during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing. He said: “No man is above the law, not the President and not the Congress.” That’s exactly why the Supreme Court’s Donald Trump immunity decision is wrongly-decided.

We are in the fifth month of the first year of Trump’s endless war with Iran. Now, he is asking for billions of taxpayer dollars to keep fighting, even as this war makes your groceries, gas, and power more expensive.
