My American Housing and Economic Mobility Act includes a new $10 billion housing innovation grant program.

I was so glad to see President Biden call for the elimination of exclusionary zoning and to end harmful land use policies.

In 30 years, experts estimate that spending on Alzheimer's will increase to more than $1 trillion.

I am very hopeful that my colleagues in the Senate will join me in supporting the National Biomedical Research Act. Let us get this one done.

Despite their years of schooling and training, audiologists are considered, quote, ``suppliers'' not, quote, ``practitioners'' in the program.

That is why I am joining Senator Paul and Senator Grassley in reintroducing the Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act.

Climate change is making flood risk worse with each year, and our homeowners need NFIP coverage to protect their families.

By 2050, 1 in every 10 properties in Massachusetts is projected to face a substantial risk of flooding.

For every dollar the Government invests in disaster mitigation, we get about $6 in return on that investment.

We need better building and we need more investment.

There is no dispute about the basic facts. Sea levels are rising and storms are becoming more intense and more frequent.

If the NFIP is ever going to be self-sustaining, the Federal Government is going to have to dramatically increase funding for physical infrastructure.

Some of these maps have not been updated in decades, but even for maps that are up-to-date, they may not be providing an accurate assessment of the risk.

Floods are our country's most costly natural disasters. Climate change is worsening this crisis.

We need the NFIP to change the perception of flood risk as either you have risk or you do not have risk.

Clearly, we need our Central American countries to be doing better economically so that folks are more likely to stay in Central America.

I believe that the U.S. should be backing these countries on this point too and not try to wiggle out of helping.

I think it is time now for our trade negotiators to take leadership and actively set rules that lower drug costs for American families instead of focusing on boosting profits for drug companies.

the U.S. should be doing everything it can to help other countries ramp up their testing, treatment, and PPE production.

The world needs more vaccine.

I fully agree with that; that is an appropriate thing to do.

I have also urged President Biden to take executive action to lower drug prices for tens of millions of American families by allowing the generic production of products like insulin and EpiPens.

The top 1 percent failed to report, I have heard, more than a fifth of their income--you are saying maybe as much as half--and more than a third of all unpaid Federal income taxes.

This is about making our tax system fair, and about raising the revenue that we need to create opportunity for every kid in America.

I am introducing a bill with mandatory funding, so that the funding lasts year by year by year, so that the IRS can boost tax enforcement for wealthy individuals and for giant corporations who are some of the biggest tax cheats.
