Floor Speeches

Jr. spoke on the floor 15 times on 13 session days in the 119th Congress.

• Senate, April 30, 2026, 83 wordsTribute to New Citizens of the United States: Naturalization Ceremony in Portland, Maine

  I speak today to recognize the powerful and inspiring remarks delivered by Judge Stacey D. Neumann of the U.S. District Court of Maine at a recent naturalization ceremony in Portland. Her words capture the profound significance of becoming an American citizen and the role immigrants continue to play in shaping our country.

• Senate, March 21, 2026, 1,288 wordsDepartment of Homeland Security (Executive Session)

  I am somewhat perplexed by the comments of my colleague because six times in the last week and a half, measures have been put forth on this floor that would have paid TSA, would have paid the Coast Guard, would have paid FEMA, would pay CISA, and his party blocked every one of them.

• Senate, December 16, 2025, 172 wordsHouse Bills

  Reserving the right to object, I just want to raise a few concerns before we pass these four House bills. We have developed a new process in this Congress where, instead of passing a large public lands package, we are moving packages of smaller bills simultaneously.

• Senate, December 8, 2025, 633 wordsRemembering Charles Norman Shay

  I stand before you today to remember Charles Norman Shay, a Penobscot tribal elder, World War II hero, and loving father, grandfather, father-in-law, and uncle. Charles died last week at the age of 101, at his home not far from the beaches of Normandy, where he saved numerous lives as a 19-year-old medic on D-Day. I had the honor of meeting and getting…

• Senate, October 7, 2025, 794 wordsEn Bloc Nominations: Continued

  As if in legislative session and notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs be discharged from further consideration of S. 1337 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; that the bill be considered read a third time and passed; and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate.

• Senate, July 15, 2025, 2,888 wordsRescissions (Executive Session)

  I would like to talk today about the rescission bill that will be coming before us in the next couple of days, and I want to really cover two points: what is being done in this bill and how it is being done. I think they are equally important. In fact, I think, perhaps, how it is being done is more significant in the long run.

  Almost 75 years ago, the junior Senator from Maine rose in this Chamber to deliver a speech from her heart about a crisis then facing our country, a crisis not arising from a foreign adversary but from within, a crisis that threatened the values and ideals at the base of the American experiment.
