Many know the history-making career of Senator Dianne Feinstein. As the first woman to serve as mayor of San Francisco, and now as the longest-tenured woman ever to serve in the U.S. Senate, she has dedicated her life to public service and to the people of our beloved California.  Representing California in the Senate alongside Senator Feinstein, I had the opportunity to witness her enduring commitment to our constituents and our country.  Senator Feinstein led San Francisco through a moment of crisis following the tragic assassinations of George Moscone and Harvey Milk and then spent the rest of her career fighting…

Let’s be crystal clear about what’s happening. If you add up all the proposals that  my Republican friends in Congress have offered so far, they would add another $3 trillion to the debt over 10 years.  When I introduce my budget in a few weeks, you’ll see that people making less than $400,000 a year will not see a single penny increase in taxes, nor have they for the past 2 years. You’ll see that my budget will invest in America, lower costs and protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, while cutting the deficit by $2 Trillion over 10 years. ### Official news published at https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/02/15/excerpt-from-remarks-as-prepared-for-delivery-by-president-biden-on-his-plan-to-reduce-the-deficit-while-investing-in-america-bringing-down-costs-for-families-and-protecting-and-strengthening-s/

CongressionalRepublicanleaders insist that the national debt is among our nation’s greatest challenges, and reducing it is among their highest priorities. In fact, they claim that reducing the debt is so urgent it warrants endangering the entire U.S. economy through debt limit brinksmanship. But their legislative agenda to date points in a very different direction—with proposals that would increase the debt by over $3 trillion. The first bill passed by the new Republican House majority increased the debt by $114 billion by allowing wealthy people and corporations to continue to cheat on their taxes.  Congressional Republicans proposed repealing—and are even running ads attacking—reforms President Biden signed to lower prescription drug costs. Repealing these…

Senator Dianne Feinstein was elected in 1992 – dubbed the Year of the Woman in part because of her victory. Often the only woman in the room, she was determined to lift America up, and through her intellect, empathy, character, and drive, to make this country everything it could be.  As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I knew I wanted Dianne to serve alongside me, with her proven track record of standing up for people’s rights and fighting to make their lives better. She agreed to join the Committee, and the nation was better for it. Through force of will, she…

Our hearts are with these young victims and their families, the broader East Lansing and Lansing communities, and all Americans across the country grieving as the result of gun violence. Last night, I spoke to Governor Whitmer and directed the deployment of all necessary federal law enforcement to support local and state response efforts. I assured her that we would continue to provide the resources and support needed in the weeks ahead. Too many…

Five years ago today, a gunman took the lives of 14 students and three educators at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, leaving yet another community and dozens of families irreparably shattered, and inspiring young people to stand up for stronger gun laws. In the years since, more communities have been impacted by gun violence, but we have also made progress on gun safety laws. I brought together Democrats and Republicans to pass the first significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Today, the U.S. Justice Department is taking another important step to implement…
