· Senate · S4311-S4323
Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Madam President, 2 weeks ago, House Republicans failed to advance the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. That failure in the House was the latest example of broad bipartisan opposition to the Republican proposal to cut more than $50 billion--that is $50 billion--in benefits for disabled veterans over the next 10 years. This controversial proposal continues to divide Congress, and it also is dividing the veteran community.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am going to be really charitable because I know my colleague's heart is in the right place, and I know we share an objective here, which is to care for our veterans. And I am going to interpret that answer as his being willing to join--if it comes to pass that we have this proposed rule, that he would oppose it. I think the VSOs would oppose it. I think the veterans community would oppose it. I think the people of America would oppose it, which is why it was withdrawn under the Biden administration--because it is such a shameful, bad idea.

· Senate · S2875-S2877
Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am back again after Republicans have blocked my effort for a vote--a vote--on the Major Richard Star Act. Six times Republicans have blocked benefits for combat-injured veterans. Let's be very clear. Right now, a combat-injured veteran with less than 20 years, including at least 400 service men and women who have been injured in the Iran war, are going to be docked dollar for dollar in their retirement pay for what that received in disability benefits. That is wrong. It is morally wrong. It is legally wrong. It is politically wrong.

· Senate · S3677
Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the following motion to commit for the bill H.R. 1 be placed in the Congressional Record: A motion to commit the bill to the committee on Armed Services with instructions to prohibit the Department of Defense from using any funds appropriated by Congress for national security purposes and to support the troops of the United States to accept, retrofit, or transfer a plane given by a foreign government for use as Air Force One during the Trump Administration.

· Senate · S7016-S7030
Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am honored to follow the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, particularly in his remarks on the Executive order that Donald Trump issued on Inauguration Day to declare a nonexistent energy emergency. And I join him in support of S.J. Res. 71 to terminate that Executive order. Let's be very clear. The only real energy emergency that we have in this country is Donald Trump. Since that day of his inauguration, he has used that Executive order to actually create an emergency.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the following motion to recommit for the bill H.R. 4 be placed in the Congressional Record: A motion to recommit the bill to the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate with instructions to report the same back to the Senate in 3 days, not counting any day on which the Senate is not in session, with changes that are within the jurisdiction of such committee and would ensure that no rescission of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting impedes or stops public television

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am here to speak against S.J. Res. 7. This resolution would prevent millions of students, educators, and families from getting online--literally from enjoying the vast benefits and resources of the online world. Today, students and educators are dependent on broadband to learn and teach, to communicate with each other, to establish relationships and communities.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am honored to follow my colleague from Maryland, who has described so well the reasons we should oppose these tariffs. I thank my colleague from Virginia, Senator Kaine, who has demonstrated once again his leadership that makes him such a great Member of this body. I want to begin--and I hope the Presiding Officer will forgive me-- with a four-letter word. It is a word that I say to my children that they should never use: ``dumb,'' D-U-M-B. These tariffs are dumb. They are also cruel, and they are stupid.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am honored to follow my friend and colleague from New Jersey, whom I salute for his passion and his eloquence. And thank you to Senator Warren for her leadership in bringing us together today and to my colleagues who are rising today in opposition to S.J. Res. 18, which seeks to undo the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's overdraft fee rule. Now let's be very clear: This overdraft rule never should have been necessary. If big banks were doing the right thing and playing fair with their customers, this rule would never have been necessary.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, we are considering today S.J. Res. 28. That sounds highly technical, complex, and difficult to understand, and some may consider it so; but, in fact, it would have the very simple, straightforward effect of undoing a rule that is vital to protecting consumers. It would undo the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's larger participant rule under the Congressional Review Act.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I am pleased to follow my colleague and friend from Rhode Island and to join with the Senator from Virginia, Senator Kaine, in supporting S.J. Res. 10, which is a joint resolution to terminate President Trump's illegal Executive order declaring an energy emergency. [[Page S1379]] It is not only nature's rule that is being violated, as Senator Whitehouse just said so eloquently; it is also this Congress's rule.

Method: we compare only recorded Yea and Nay votes on the same bill or resolution in the same Congress, and only on these kinds of question: passage or adoption; conference report; concurring in the other chamber's amendment; overriding a veto; treaty ratification. Amendments, motions to recommit, to table, to proceed or to end debate, and every other procedural question are not compared. Present and not voting are not compared. A vote with no date, no question text, or no link to its official roll-call page is left out. The text of a bill can change between votes; the description on each record is the one recorded for that roll call.
Floor statements are quoted from the Congressional Record as printed by the Government Publishing Office. We have read it from January 6, 2025 through October 29, 2026 so far; earlier statements are not shown. A passage is listed for a bill only when its own text cites that bill. Excerpts are the opening of the passage, cut at a sentence; the full passage is always one click away. Statement pairs appear only after two separate reviews, and every quote is checked word for word against the stored passage each time it is shown.
Votes come from the House Clerk and Senate roll-call records as compiled in the Voteview archive. Votes before the chambers published roll calls online have no official web page and are not shown here.
