If there’s a vote to stay here through August recess and finish the job, I’m voting yes.

Louisiana lost a legend today.

Skip Bertman didn’t just build championship baseball teams—he built LSU athletics into a powerhouse and made generations of Louisianians proud.

Becky and I are praying for the Bertman family. God bless Coach Skip.

Mayor Mamdani, Dr. El-Sayed and AOC want to beat the crap out of America.

They feel contempt for our country when they should feel gratitude.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

The Senate blows opportunities like it’s our job.

We had a shot to start reconciliation, strengthen our military and fight for the SAVE America Act—and we threw it away.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Drew Brees is star-spangled awesome—a Louisiana hero and forever a Saint.

He helped New Orleans get back on its feet, brought home a Super Bowl and gave Louisiana something to believe in when we needed it most.

Now he’s right where he belongs: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. #WhoDat

"You trusted me with the soul of the city. And I would have died to protect that calling."

Drew Brees' message to New Orleans during his Hall of Fame speech ❤️

I did not—and do not—support the decision to postpone the budget resolution. I worked hard to get Leader Thune to agree to bring it up so we could move forward on the SAVE America Act, and I appreciate his willingness to do so.

I’m very disappointed we didn’t vote. We’ve talked enough. It’s time to stop talking and start voting.

I also voted NO to adjourn, and my NO vote is recorded in writing with the Senate clerk.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

I said I’d vote to stay through August recess and get our work done. I meant it.

I voted NO on sending the Senate home. The American people sent us here to work for them, and I’m tired of Washington acting like getting the job done is someone else’s responsibility.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Most Americans agree: You should have to prove you are who you say you are when you vote.

Last night, Senate Democrats blocked a simple voter ID bill. I voted YES.

This stuff isn’t radical. It’s common sense — and it’s how we earn back the American people’s trust.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

If you're confused, that means you understand the situation perfectly.

If senators start leaving, we can't get our work done and finish the job.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

The Graham Platner wing of the Democratic Party has utter contempt for America when it should have gratitude.

The only possible explanation has to be some real strong drugs.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

The people running Iran learned to lie before they learned to talk.

They’re also crazy.

It’s like dealing with the Son of Sam or Charles Manson.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

I'd rather have a back-alley colonoscopy than go to another meeting about the work we need to get done.

It's time to vote.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Reconciliation is our best play to pass the Save America Act.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Anna St. John is not a politician—she is intelligent, wise and patient.

She will represent Louisiana well on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and I’m proud to support her nomination.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Iran launched cyberattacks against one of our water systems in Michigan.

We have cyber experts too.

We should hit them back. We should eat them up and spit the bones on the floor.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

You don't have to be a senior at Caltech to know the American people want election integrity.

This is why we need to pass the SAVE America Act.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

If you say states aren’t cheating with Medicaid, you should check your pants because they’re probably on fire.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

Happy 236th birthday to the @USCG. Its brave men and women have defended our waters, answered the call in emergencies and protected our freedoms.

America is safer because of them.
