I am proud that Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act last year, which will cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors covered by Medicare Part D at $2,000 per year.
So, it is a perfect example when we stop Big Pharma greed, we can actually do really important things for our seniors and our disabled families.
I have introduced the Postal Service Security Camera Act, which would require that, subject to appropriations, the public service install security cameras at each postal facility to protect Postal Service employees, customers, and property.

Trucks move 73 percent of all domestic freight by value, totaling 12.6 billion tons of freight in 2020.
Driver compensation is also at the heart of our discussions here today. Better wages will help the industry attract and retain its workers.
I have long supported strong entry-level driver training standards so that we ensure truckers are fully prepared to safely operate their vehicles and deliver their freight.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act made major investments in our freight network.
Supporting our workers through family-wage jobs, better working conditions, predictable and safe parking places, and lifesaving safety equipment ensures how freight moves.
