So we are talking about updating an old rule that was written to protect streams that are near coal mining...

I urge Treasury to be just as creative in coming up with solutions for Puerto Rico as it was when the big banks called for help.

The people of Puerto Rico are calling. They understand there is no bailout on the table for them, and they are not asking for one.

I think Treasury needs to step up and show more leadership here.

I believe that Congress should pass a law. I have cosponsored such a law, and I will fight for it.

But the vulture funds do not want to negotiate. Instead, what do the vulture funds want? Well, they want Puerto Rico to raise taxes, cut healthcare, fire teachers, cut pensions, sell off $4 billion worth of government buildings, privatize…

Puerto Rico, by American law, cannot do either one of these, and that leaves the 3.5 million American citizens on the island at the mercy of the people who hold Puerto Rico's debt.

The people of Puerto Rico are in a really lousy position. They have been hit hard by ten years of recession, and now they are crushed by debt they cannot repay.

Mandating a massive, inefficient and inflexible sell off of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve years in advance is just one more bad idea for how to finance government.

We should have a conversation about how large the Strategic Petroleum Reserve needs to be on a going forward basis.

The reason for the proposed sales of the emergency oil supply is to fund the government.

Selling off our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is just not a way to do that.

The NLRB is following the law and standing up for American workers, which is exactly what the NLRB, by law, is supposed to do.

It would be devastating to the workers.

The NLRB finally acknowledged the problem that it had created back in the 1980s.

The earlier change in the rule at the NLRB has just triggered a race to the bottom that has squeezed workers.

Today, though, some giant companies have figured out that they can hide behind complex arrangements like subcontracts or franchises to dodge their legal responsibilities toward their workers.

Historically, if an employer violated the rights of its workers through, for example, an illegal firing, the employer would be on the hook for damages.

I fully support CMS moving forward with the mandatory joint replacement model.

We all know that one way to get the cost of healthcare under control and to improve quality is to change the way that we buy care.

These pension scam companies turn a profit by offering retirees cash in exchange for a fixed amount of the buyer's future pension.

It sounds like we are starting to get some action on this. Five years ago, Congress passed Dodd-Frank...

They are trying to avoid laws that govern loans.

These loans can have pretty shocking fine print, for example, effective interest rates over 100 percent.

It is probably a loan.
