As Tom Suozzi would say, the facts are the facts.

I understand people don't like paying taxes, but this is how we fund our civilized society and the many programs that our constituents care about.

Unfortunately, the majority seems to think that the IRS budget is a slush fund to pay for every program that they want to pass and put into law.

Again, before the Inflation Reduction Act, we didn't have the resources to put in the work to close these gaps.

The IRS beat Secretary Yellen's goal and delivered an 87 percent quality level of service

I want a roll call vote on that.

Millionaires and billionaires need to pay their fair share. I think everybody will agree up here.

I believe the only reason to work to cut the IRS budget is to either make consumer services worse or to make cheating on your taxes easier.

The American people can count on us to ensure that wealthy and well-connected people are paying their fair share, too.

Under Republican funding cuts, the audit rate on millionaires fell by more than 70 percent.

The biggest threat to the IRS right now is the extremism of some of our colleagues.

If the revenue is not collected in a fair manner, that means the rest of us pay more.

What has the IRS done to restore an element of fairness to the tax system?

We are talking about delivering savings of up to 25 percent, and yet our Republican colleagues are still making efforts to block the law.

Our historic Inflation Reduction Act is starting to take hold, saving the American people money and delivering more breathing room.

More Americans have health insurance today than ever before: 21 million people signed up during the latest open enrollment.

We have heard the arguments here. This is what is possible. Despite what some have said here, this does expand the child tax credit. It is clear. No legislation that comes to this floor is perfect. We tried very hard, and we succeeded on…

This is not the bill I would have written, but this is sensible policy. There is no denying the fact that, despite what the two previous speakers have said, 16 million children will benefit immediately from the expansion of the child tax…

Our first priority must always be safety. Universities also have a responsibility to cultivate safe and supportive learning environments.

Over a month ago, Hamas unleashed evil, slaughtering 1,200 people and kidnaping hundreds, including Americans.

Let there be no doubt that I, along with our colleagues on the Democratic side, are here today to condemn anti-Semitism in all its forms.

Freedom to talk about ideas is not the freedom to threaten people based on their identity.

This subcommittee should be taking action to eliminate child poverty, not attacking struggling parents.

The doubling of child poverty in our country in one year is a five-alarm fire.

The progress we made in 2021 shows that we can slash child poverty when we have the political will to do so.
