This is the $421 million question, what will President Trump do to please his creditors, whether they're foreign entities or domestic?

This is a President who claims that he is really committed to rebuilding the American military, and yet has not paid one penny in income tax for doing so in 10 of the last 15 years.

This is somebody who is a tax dodger, as well as a draft dodger. He gives nothing to his country, and yet he ridicules the men and women who put their lives on the line and make the ultimate sacrifices as losers.

I am a bill called the Transparency in Executive Branch Finances Act, which would require the President, the Vice President and other high ranking officials to make their tax returns public, and to do so for the five previous years.

I have already voted, sir.

We applaud this committee's contributions to the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, and look forward to working with you as you fashion the next necessary round of recovery and stimulus legislation.

I think it is crucial for Congress to condition the trillions in Federal aid, purportedly with the intention of helping workers, so that it is not diverted into the pockets of pandemic profiteers.

It is a big number, isn't it, $58 billion. But you don't have that money, do you?

So last year, we underfunded kids with special needs by $22 billion.

If we are missing a bunch of graduating seniors, that is as many--could be as much as a quarter of students in the school.

Well, guess what? It just happens to be $58 billion, $17 billion of which went to defense contractors, like Lockheed Martin.

We have the cash to educate all children, including children with disabilities.

The big banks got $18 billion for processing PPP loans--almost enough to have covered the cost of fully funding the IDEA.

We do need to get funding to the Postal Service, and of course, the House voted to do just that. And I very much hope the Senate will step up and do the same thing.

I have incredible confidence in the people who work at the United States Postal Service. These are professionals.

I asked Mr. DeJoy point blank, if the Inspector General finds that you engage in misconduct because there's an ongoing investigation, if they find you engaged in misconduct, will you resign? No, he said.

We put it Mr. DeJoy on notice that we were going to be asking tough questions, and frankly, he did not deliver. So, I was disappointed with his inability to answer basic questions not just about the Postal Service, but really importantly…

Mr. DeJoy, thank you for being with us today. What is the cost of a first-class postage stamp?

I am concerned about your understanding of this agency.

Mr. DeJoy, will you commit to reversing these changes?

I'm incredibly excited to see Senator Harris receive this historic nomination. She's a fierce fighter for justice, for working families. I am really excited about what this means for our country going forward.

So, the answer, Mr. Dillingham, is no. These disclosures don't make any mention that you will be using administrative records for citizenship.

Will you please commit to following the law with regard to the Privacy Act and filing a new system of record notice?

So, the Constitution says that representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding the whole number of free persons.

But you can't wax on about your faithful execution of your constitutional duty and then dodge questions about the Constitution in the same hearing.
