Congress in January 2026

Chip RoyRepublican, Texas

ICE Under Attack

I thank the gentlewoman from South Carolina, particularly for her shout-out to the National Guard from her own State that has been deployed to the District of Columbia.

Al GreenDemocrat, Texas

Fearing for Our Lives

And still I rise, and still I rise, a liberated, unbought, unbossed, unafraid Democrat.

Bernard SandersIndependent, Vermont

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026: Motion to Proceed: Continued

Let's be honest. Let us face up to reality and let us acknowledge that most Americans understand that our great Nation, once the envy of the entire world, is now in the midst of a deep decline. And for the sake of our children and future generations, we must end that decline and turn this country around in very fundamental ways.

David SchweikertRepublican, Arizona

Congress Is a Math-Free Zone

I was actually going to come here and do some things on demographics and some things that are optimistic, but I actually think we should first jump into the fact that we work in a math-free zone.

Sheldon WhitehouseDemocrat, Rhode Island

Order for Adjournment

I am here on the floor for the 36th speech in my ``Scheme'' series, calling attention to the rightwing scheme to capture our courts and justice system.

Kat CammackRepublican, Florida

Recognizing Alachua County Fire Rescue Chief Harold Theus

I rise today to recognize an exceptional public servant, a trusted leader and a dear friend to myself and everyone around him, Alachua County Fire Chief Harold Theus.

Marcy KapturDemocrat, Ohio

Applauding President Zelenskyy's Address in Davos

Please allow me to begin by applauding President Zelenskyy of Ukraine on his exceptional and historic remarks in Davos, Switzerland, earlier today.

Mark HarrisRepublican, North Carolina

Mandate of the American People

In November of 2024, the American people didn't just cast votes. They issued a thunderous mandate. It was loud, it was clear, and it was unmistakable. They rose up, and they declared: Enough is enough. Enough of the reckless spending that mortgages our children's future. Enough of open-borders flooding our communities with chaos and danger.

Cory A. BookerDemocrat, New Jersey

Senate Pages

There is something extraordinary that happens when we are here in the Senate. Every cycle, we see numerous young people who come here to--one might call them indentured servants. They are the pages.

Kevin KileyRepublican, California

Misguided Policy in California

Every so often there comes along a policy so misguided, so self-destructive, so just utterly stupid that it has catastrophic consequences before it is even adopted.

Suhas SubramanyamDemocrat, Virginia

Restoring Election Integrity

Today marks 16 years since the Supreme Court's disastrous decision in Citizens United.

Lisa MurkowskiRepublican, Alaska

Greenland (Executive Session)

As we are starting this new year, there is certainly no shortage of issues to be talking about. You and I have been engaged in fruitful discussions, I believe, about how we address health coverage for millions of Americans that are looking at dramatically higher costs, in many cases, and recognizing that there is a pretty short window here in front of us. In fact, for many, it feels like that window is already closed.
