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.

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.

President Trump’s endgame is clear. He wants to rig our elections to ensure Republicans never lose again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My mom’s naturalization certificate sits on the credenza behind my desk in the Capitol, so anyone who walks into my office knows that I am proud to be the son of an immigrant.

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.

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.

The people of Ukraine are valiantly fighting to defend their homeland. But $400 million in aid Congress appropriated for Ukraine has been held up in bureaucratic delays. When Secretary Rubio came before the Senate, I urged him to release this much needed funding

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.

Over my time in Congress, I have had more than 3,000 interns serve in my office, and even more staff. Some, like Senator Mike Simmons and Rep.Kam Buckner ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶, have gone on to serve as elected officials themselves. It has been my honor to help them get their foot in the door.

The President claims that the SAVE America Act is necessary to stop the scourge of noncitizen voting. So I looked at the data. The Bipartisan Policy Center analyzed the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database and found only 77 cases of noncitizens successfully casting ballots in American elections over 24 years.

Kash Patel could never be the qualified, diligent, and stable FBI Director that Robert Mueller was. I won’t let Director Mueller’s memory be tainted by a vengeful President and his loyalist lackey.

The President and his family don’t even try to hide their corruption. Last year alone, they made at least $1.4 billion through backroom deals and legal threats. And the American people are fed up.

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.

President Trump is laying the groundwork to steal the next election. Using our military to intimidate citizens is moving us towards authoritarianism—including rigging elections. Whether it’s Portland or Chicago, we have to fight back. Keep at it, Senator Jeff Merkley.

The Trump Administration isn’t targeting the worst of the worst. Their immigration raids are going after churches and Halloween parades. What a farce.

President Trump promised his White House ballroom wouldn’t cost the American taxpayer a penny. Now, he’s pushing Republicans in Congress to allocate $1 billion for its construction. Just another one of his broken promises.

Republicans have failed to produce any plan to replace the Affordable Care Act for 15 years. Why would we trust that they will suddenly have one in the next few months?

As President Trump continues to menace Greenland, I am in Denmark with a bipartisan group of my congressional colleagues to reiterate our support for our NATO allies. The United States should be working with NATO, not threatening its members’ sovereignty.

Today, Republicans left town without funding Trump’s mass deportations, billionaire ballroom, or his January 6 slush fund. We will remain ready to challenge these horrendous wastes of taxpayer dollars when they return.
