Mr. President, and finally, on a much happier note. Nearly a decade ago, I made one of the greatest decisions anyone in this line of work can make: I hired a top-notch, first-rate person who was so talented in every way. I hired Cietta Kiandoli. That was a time with a lot of change. Our party was…

Mr. President, on chaos, with a record so terrible, with an agenda so deeply unpopular, Trump has resorted to sowing chaos everywhere he can--chaos in our financial markets; chaos in our streets, where he unleashed his rogue ICE agents to go after Americans; chaos abroad, where his war has put our…

Mr. President, now on the weak data center bill, the only thing that came out of Trump's big AI summit yesterday was a photo op; no Federal guardrails to protect against catastrophic risk, no signal from Trump that he plans to act. All Trump had to say was ``there should be tremendous…

Mr. President, on stock trading, only Senate Republicans would dare call a bill that permits Members of Congress to continue to own, sell, and in some instances buy stocks a stock trading ban. They can't be serious. The Republican bill is a permission slip for corruption, not a stock trading ban.…

Mr. President, 20 months ago, Republicans won control of Washington on a promise to bring down costs, make government more efficient, and end senseless wars. But over the past 2 years, Republicans betrayed the trust of the American people. For the past 20 months, Senate Republicans catered to…

Mr. President, well, for 2 years, Democrats fought fiercely to protect the interests of the American people while Senate Republicans fought tooth and nail to shield Donald Trump. We all knew how disastrous this President would be. We set out to expose how Trump and his party were hurting the…

Mr. President, on corruption, Senate Democrats have also been unrelenting in exposing Trump's unprecedented corruption. Senate Republicans have aided and abetted Trump's efforts to rob the American people and enrich himself every step of the way. The Trump family has profited $4 billion off the…

Mr. President, well, Donald Trump is asleep at the wheel when it comes to reining in unchecked AI. Right after news came out over the weekend about rogue AI agents infiltrating government websites in the United States, Australia, and at the U.N., do you know what Trump told FOX News? ``I don't…

funded Trump political ads. Every day--every day--Trump comes up with a new corruption scheme to abuse American taxpayers for his own benefit. That is why corruption is a hallmark of this administration. Yesterday, Trump aired another partisan campaign ad on multiple channels during prime time. And…

Mr. President, on the Trump media ban, you can tell Trump's desperate, repressive media ban is flagrantly unconstitutional when it gets blocked by a judge he appointed. Trump can attack the First Amendment all he wants, but the roots of our democracy run deeper than he could ever fathom. No…

Introductory Statement on S. 5461
Mr. President, on the fertilizing bill, Trump's terrible economy has been anything but fertile ground for American farmers. Today, along with Senator Klobuchar, I am announcing the Strategic Fertilizer Reserve Act to ensure farmers have access to the resources they need to feed our Nation's people…

Mr. President, let me say a few words about a great leader who has just retired--AFSCME president Lee Saunders. Today, I will pay tribute to a dear friend and a juggernaut for labor who recently began a well-deserved retirement--AFSCME president Lee Saunders. On Monday, there will be a celebration…

Artificial Intelligence (Executive Session)
Mr. President, let me talk about Trump's AI comments at the U.N. Trump continued to downplay the dangers of AI during his speech at the General Assembly today, completely ignoring the concerns of the American people and the people of the world. After rambling on about how he wants to rename…

Mr. President, first on China and AI, the evidence for the potential dangers of unchecked AI continue to grow and grow, but Donald Trump keeps brushing off America's concerns about AI's risks. Trump justifies his support for unregulated AI by saying that is how we beat China in the AI race, but his…

Mr. President, first on tariffs, the American people are getting absolutely slammed by Trump's tariff tax. So, later today, I will ask consent to vote on my End Trump's Tariff Tax Act to stop the President from bleeding Americans dry with skyrocketing costs. My legislation would roll back Trump's…

PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT OF 2026--Motion to Proceed
Mr. President, just for a moment before I talk about my UC on tariffs, I just noted that the Federal Reserve Board had raised interest rates. Make no mistake about it. This is going to make everything become more expensive, whether it is a car loan, buying a home, or just even how much products…

Artificial Intelligence (Executive Session)
Madam President, on artificial intelligence, the warning signs about AI's rapid pace have never been clearer. But what is President Trump's response to the recent calls for the government to regulate AI--even from industry leaders? Trump says: Well, even if we had a high IQ President right now--and…

Jobs Report (Executive Session)
Mr. President, on the job numbers this morning, the alarm bells on the sorry state of Trump's economy keep ringing and ringing. The jobs report this morning revealed America lost 23,000 jobs because of Trump's disastrous agenda, his tariffs, and his failed war. But that is not all. It got even…

Trump Administration (Executive Session)
Mr. President, on the Trump battleships, while American families can't even keep their heads above water, Donald Trump is spending his time building himself a ``golden fleet'' of battleships the Navy doesn't want. Just get a load of this headline: ``Cost of Trump's Namesake Warships Likely to Rise…

U.S. Department of Justice (Executive Session)
Mr. President, Todd Blanche's Department of Justice continues to let criminals off the hook so long as they are loyal to Donald Trump. Yesterday, Trump's DOJ forced a judge to throw out the charges against eight members of the radical extremist Oath Keepers, who were convicted of seditious…

AGOA EXTENSION ACT--Motion to Proceed
Mr. President, Senate Republicans seem to think Todd Blanche became a different person somewhere between the confirmation hearing and today's vote. It is obvious he didn't. Blanche remains Trump's personal lawyer--same client, same corrupt record, same playbook. He is the same guy. Nothing has…

Nomination of Todd Blanche (Executive Session)
Mr. President, well, make no mistake, Todd Blanche has no intention of stopping Trump's corruption. He has spent his career enabling it. Instead of seeing Todd Blanche's so-called deal for the sham that it is, Senate Republicans are, once again, taking Trump's personal attorney at his word. All…

Mr. President, on the pardons bill, justice is supposed to be blind. Under Donald Trump, justice is for sale. Today, I am introducing legislation with Senators Blumenthal, Hirono, Cortez Masto, and Schiff to stop Trump from abusing his pardon power for personal gain. Our No Payoffs for Pardons Act…
