Nope, no question about it, and it would put in jeopardy fundamental core principles that seniors all across the country--in Ohio and Oregon and Massachusetts--have been able to count on. When you sunset it, you say you can't count on it…

Mr. President, we are now several weeks on from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. The IRA is transformational legislation that will improve the lives of millions and millions of Americans: more affordable prescription drugs…

I thank my colleague, and I know that Senator Van Hollen is here as well. I am going to be brief. I particularly want to thank our colleague from Rhode Island because he has been relentless in terms of making this case day after day. I…

Mr. President, when I was in grade school, I had basic civics education. We learned about the fact that the vision of America was based on individuals standing up for their ideas in the public square. They could say: Here is what I think…

Madam President, I come to the floor to discuss the new Graham legislation to create a national abortion ban. The centerpiece of the Senator's argument is that Senator Graham wants our country to believe that his national abortion ban is a…

Mr. President, I would just like to briefly discuss the amendment that came up during the budget discussion. Senate Democrats made it very, very clear that we were strongly against taxing those in our country with incomes under $400,000…

Mr. President, in reserving the right to object, it is time for a reality check here in the Senate. The far right has had an awful lot to say about the IRS in these last few days. Even Senators who should supposedly know better are…

Mr. President, on August 2, 2022, I missed rollcall vote No. 280, the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022. Had I been in attendance, I would have voted yea. Millions of American veterans whose time in the military spanned from Vietnam to Iraq…

Mr. President, in the face of the ever growing threat of climate chaos, it is vital for the future of our Nation and our planet that we move swiftly and boldly to transition from an energy economy that relies on carbon fossil fuels to one…

I thank the chairman, and I appreciate his leadership and his courtesy. Madam Speaker, this legislative package is something that refuses to die. It will reduce inflation, lower energy costs, and lower the cost of prescription drugs. But…

I appreciate the opportunity to make one point. The extent to which this is a partisan bill is a result of selective memory and a willful refusal on the part of my Republican colleagues to work with us. This legislation is replete with…

Mr. President, we have just heard a discussion of the issue of tax reform, and my colleague across the aisle has said there should be no corporate minimum tax on corporations, and yet Americans know that billionaire companies one after the…

Mr. President, this amendment does require that the Secretary of the Interior grant leases for coal mining, but granting more leases for coal mining is going to do nothing for our coal miners today because we are in the situation where the…

I ask unanimous consent for 30 seconds of additional time. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?

I thank the Senator for his inquiry. That is correct. The credit is intended for any eligible components produced and sold after December 31, 2022, regardless of the portion of the component that was produced before January 1, 2023.

Yes, regulations such as these would be in line with the legislative text and our intent for companies to be able to appropriately utilize foreign tax credits in the corporate alternative minimum tax.

I thank the Senator for his inquiry and can clarify that, for purposes of the corporate alternative minimum tax, Other Comprehensive Income is not included in financial statement income.

Mr. President, I rise in opposition to this amendment. This, again, is about delay, about postponing, about putting off the job that needs to be done. What the focus of this bill is all about is cutting costs. What I have said to…
