My floor speech yesterday: 1/ The rules change Republicans are pushing through the Senate - to confirm dozens of Trump nominees with one vote - is another sign of our vanishing democracy, as the legislative branch voluntarily bends the knee to the executive.

The U.S. Senate confirmed 48 of President Trump's nominees in a single vote on Thursday. That move was only possible because Republicans changed the rules of the Senate to get more nominees through, more quickly. Lisa Desjardins has more.

Senate Republicans must change the Senate confirmation rules. We have a once in a generation opportunity with President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in Congress. It’s time to move forward with the mandate the American people delivered us and confirm President Trump’s nominees.

Senate Republicans are blowing up Senate rules to confirm Trump’s unqualified nominees without proper scrutiny. “There will be pressure from the President of the United States to continue to open the aperture of what this rule allows.” Sen. Chris Murphy 🟧

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. As Congressman John Lewis said, it’s “the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union.” I spoke on the Senate floor about the need to protect the right to vote and end attacks on our democracy.

Yesterday, the Trump administration was caught on video violently manhandling Senator Alex Padilla for exercising his rights as a senator. As Republicans continued their silence, Senate Democrats took to the Senate floor to defend our colleague and stand up for democracy.

No president ever has faced this type of obstruction with their nominees. Senate Republicans has confirmed twice as many nominees as we did at this point during the first Trump administration, while also working on legislative items. We are working hard to execute for the American people.

🚨Elizabeth Warren is trying to jam through dozens of judicial nominations before Trump takes office. Yesterday the Senate confirmed a radical leftist judge who gave lenient sentences to p*dos to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Republicans need to show up to vote and STOP these confirmations!!

Last week Senate Republicans took steps to overcome Democrats’ historic obstruction and restored the Senate’s longstanding practice of confirming nominees in batches. Later today the Senate will confirm a slate of 48 nominees to get President Donald J. Trump' team in place to enact his agenda.

Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

Under my leadership, Republicans have taken another major step toward reaffirming President Trump’s mission to secure the border & enforce our laws. Let’s see if the Democrats have another tantrum in the form of a vote-a-rama when this bill reaches the Senate floor. One America News

I just came from the Senate floor, where I gave a speech on why Pete Hegseth is wholly unqualified to lead our Department of Defense. Now it’s up to my Republicans colleagues. Are you sure he is worth the risk?

The threat to democracy and our right to vote is ongoing, and it’s up to all of us to remain vigilant. My opponent is supported by a number of Trump’s fake electors. As long as I’m in the Senate, I’ll do my part and fight to protect access to the ballot and our democracy.
