These investments by United and MWAA will help Dulles service almost double the number of planes, passengers, and visitors.

I urge my colleagues to join me in getting this bill across the finish line and bringing clarity and relief to taxpayers in Virginia and across the country.

I’m thrilled that several of my proposals have passed out of the Finance Committee and can now be considered by the whole Senate.

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get answers to basic questions about their taxes.

The PROMISE Act sets up a process. It doesn’t dictate a policy. It sets up a process that puts Congress on the clock to save Social Security.

When you came before this Committee almost a year ago, I asked you if it was the case that political appointees were on review boards for the cancellation of $3.7 billion in awards. You responded, ‘Well, it's absolutely the case.’ Those…

On top of that, his office has slow-walked New Mexico’s own investigation into Epstein’s crimes at Zorro Ranch, refusing to hand our Attorney General the unredacted evidence he needs.

New Mexicans should have access to timely, high-quality mental healthcare whenever and wherever they need it.

I just want to make it clear that in the Chaco [Canyon] case, there was no land transfer. All of that land remained in public hands. There was a mineral withdrawal that was designed to protect thousands of individual archeological and…

Sometimes national park boundaries need to change, and it is this Committee’s job to decide when that is a good idea. But that work cannot be one-sided—only advancing bills that remove protections, and not those that add them.

The good news is that we've reestablished a bipartisan principle that we should still be present in the world, that we should still alleviate suffering, that we should still provide economic assistance, that we should still respond to…

While I’m glad the administration is finally following the law and taking the necessary steps to provide this funding, it must also release the billions of dollars in global health funding that it continues to withhold, wasting resources…

Gavi is one of the most effective health partnerships in the world. This funding will help save lives around the world and protect Americans here at home by making vaccines available to those who need it and stopping the spread of…

Our bill will provide federal workers with 12 weeks of paid leave, giving them the time they need to take care of their own health and their loved ones.
