I have been pleased with the bipartisan support this legislation has garnered with a total of 38 co-sponsors, including 9 of my Democrat colleagues.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, also known as the ``Trick Trick Trick Act.'' This bill, Mr. Speaker, includes a $1.5 trillion cut to Medicare and Medicaid, raises taxes on middle-income families, and…

Mr. Speaker, it is increasingly obvious what a sham of a tax plan the Republicans have proposed, slashing taxes on the superrich and large corporations at the expense of the middle class. What is less well known, and what the Republicans…

Mr. President, I appreciate the kind words of Senator Hoeven and his affinity toward veterans. I am here to talk about our veterans as well. I come at it from three different perceptions. I chair the Military Personnel Subcommittee in the…
