Looks like Senator Schumer and I have found some common ground here … As I have repeatedly said, I will not negotiate under hostage conditions. Reopen the government now.

Grateful to be able to carve the turkey with my grandkids crowding around to ‘supervise.’ Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” Psalm 100:4

500 days ago, Republicans had a long to-do list. We’ve checked a lot of things off, but we still have more to do. And we’re not about to take our foot off the gas.

The Schumer standard cannot be the new normal in the Senate – and I assure the American people, it will not be next year. Senate Republicans are ready to get to work delivering on President Trump’s agenda.

Next week, I will bring the SAVE America Act to the floor. Senate Democrats will be forced to defend their outrageous positions on these issues and explain to the American people why common sense and the Democrat Party have parted ways.

From the very beginning of his second term, Democrats met President Donald J. Trump’ nominees with a historic level of obstruction. But Senate Republicans has been on a mission to ensure that the president has his nominees in place so that he can do the job the American people elected him to do.

After processing this next batch of 74 Trump nominees, the Senate will have confirmed nearly every nominee available for floor consideration. My Senate Republicans colleagues and I are also advancing legislation that’s key to our shared Republican agenda.

To our allies in Israel, and to the Jewish people around the world, my message to you is this: Reinforcements are on the way. In six weeks, Republicans will reclaim the Senate majority, and we will make clear that the United States Congress stands squarely in Israel’s corner.

Without Democrat cooperation, the Section 702 program will go dark in four days. America’s enemies, however, will not go dark. I hope my Democrat colleagues will rethink their decision to hold the program hostage before we all have cause to regret the consequences.

Because of Democrats’ historic temper tantrum, we will be funding Border Patrol and ICE for the full remainder of President Trump’s term. We are going to pass the Secure America Act, and with it, we are going to end this conversation about defunding the police.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act tackles some of the causes of the higher prices that are preventing too many Americans from realizing the dream of homeownership. It’s just the latest item on Republicans’ agenda to address the cost of living.

It’s taken a lot of work to get here, but I’m very proud that this farm bill delivers permanent year-round E15. This is something that is going to further help producers and provide a choice at the pump to help bring down fuel costs for all Americans.

Amid a heightened threat environment, having a proven leader as the director of national intelligence is especially important, and Jay Clayton fits the mold. I hope his confirmation will encourage my colleagues to stop blocking reauthorization of FISA.

As long as Republicans are in charge, there will be agents at our borders to prevent terrorists, traffickers, and other dangerous individuals from making their way into our country, and there will be agents to take criminal illegal immigrants off our streets. I wish I could say the same of my Democrat colleagues.
