Today we have a record 20 women in the Senate. I hope in my lifetime we will see 50 women Senators.

20 years ago, and I became the first two women to represent a state in the U.S. Senate.

The latest unacceptable Republican offer would mean more pain for the middle class, poor & seniors – and more giveaways to the wealthiest.

Congratulations to Californian Carol Galante on her confirmation today as FHA Commissioner.

Very pleased the Senate confirmed Judge Jon S. Tigar, who will be a superb addition to the federal bench.

Happy we just named a building after Tip O’Neill. Now Boehner should take a tip from Tip & govern w/ the entire House.

Senator could not be more qualified or more ready to be Secretary of State. He will have instant credibility throughout the world

With cuts to child nutrition, cancer research, meals on wheels & more, plan is disastrous for kids, seniors, the middle class & poor.

I spoke on the Senate floor today about the need to stop the painful gun violence in our nation. WATCH:

We will never be able to replace Senator Inouye. He personified the meaning of love of country.

Support for marriage equality keeps growing stronger for one reason – it’s a matter of fairness & justice.

I sincerely hope rules that Prop. 8 & DOMA violate the promise of equal protection guaranteed by the Constitution.

I asked AG Eric Holder to help ensure that Americans will never again be forced to wait in line for hours to vote.

Republicans are holding middle class tax cuts hostage to their demands for more tax breaks for the wealthy. WATCH:

It is unacceptable that Americans had to wait in line for up to 7 hours to vote. We can fix it by passing the LINE Act.
