No one should get away with criminal fraud, which is why I was proud to help provide the Biden Administration and the inspectors general with dedicated fraud-fighting resources in the American Rescue Plan.

We have the ability to change that.

We are timing out of those who have grown up with the idea of working with your hands was noble.

I am deeply proud that the pandemic unemployment assistance provided relief during a crisis, and I reject this Republican concern for fraud.
