235 qualified and experienced and mainstream judges!
As I have said, the only way to keep the government open is through bipartisanship.
Though this bill does not include everything Democrats fought for, there are major victories in this bill for American families—provide emergency aid for communities battered by natural disasters, no debt ceiling, and it will keep the government open with no draconian cuts.
The House has overwhelmingly passed a bill to keep the government open and I’m confident the Senate will pass it as well. We hope to get it passed as soon as possible.
235 WELL-QUALIFIED AND HISTORIC JUDGES!
WE HAVE JUST CONFIRMED THE 235TH JUDGE UNDER THIS SENATE MAJORITY.
THAT’S MORE THAN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
MORE THAN ANY ADMINISTRATION THIS CENTURY.
MORE THAN ANY ADMINISTRATION GOING BACK DECADES.
NEWS: This Senate has sent two bills to President Biden’s desk today!

The FY25 National Defense Authorization Act will:

—Strengthen our defense industrial base
We will vote on taking up the Social Security Fairness Act to repeal flawed policies that eat away at the benefits of those who've worked as teachers, firefighters, postal workers, or public sector workers.
Retirees deprived of their hard-earned benefits will be watching closely.
Today, I’m taking to the Senate floor with Senator Gary Peters to pass legislation to respond to the reports of drone activity.
It will authorize local authorities to conduct drone detection and help them better coordinate with federal law enforcement.
Americans deserve answers.
The NYC Panel on Education Policy should not eliminate the testing system for specialized high schools.
Derailing the SHSAT would lead to chaos and unfairly deny opportunity to countless students who work so hard with hopes of admission to one of the superb specialized HS’s.
Thanks to Sen. Gillibrand and Rep. Ritchie for working together with me to make this happen.
This is a major step forward in our efforts to keep bad batteries off our streets.
I am proud to announce that I insisted on including a critical piece of legislation in the budget agreement to stop these fires and save lives.
